38 Issue 82 / 2015 guestlist.net artist of the month mikill Pane Mister Pane is back after a year-and-a- half long absence ones to Watch muzi South Africa's hottest young DJ/producer, Muzi, is ready to explode back onto the music scene with his blistering new Fire FX EP Muzi's hotly anticipated 6-track release features his trademark eclectic mix of hip-hop and electronica, all the while paying homage to his South African roots in the Empangeni township. Acknowledging that the violence he experienced growing up has proved to be a major influence on his work, Muzi explains that "the hardness of the sound is probably because I come from a very bad background. People used to tell me my music was very violent. Maybe that is true because that's what I grew up seeing. But the energy of it is happy and positive. I'll never take you to a dark place with my music, because I know how that feels." Each track is fuelled with bass, and with elements of heavy hip-hop, drum and bass and dubstep infusing the whole record, the intensity never lets up. As the man himself states, "If my music doesn't make you feel like your ribcage is going to break the fuck up, if my music doesn't make you feel like your eardrums are about to blow the fuck up, then I'm sorry I've failed you". Muzi's ever-growing reputation, which has only grown since the recent release of 'Nizogcwala' and an exclusive DJ mix for i-D, led to a hugely successful summer for the producer: in addition to two DJ sets at Bestival, he also co-hosted Nando's Music Exchange at the Roundhouse in London alongside chart-topping UK rapper Example, Reeps One and grime sensation Stormzy, with whom Muzi recently travelled to his native country for a feature with Noisey and Nandos.

As he said on Twitter, "2 #1 albums in 1 year…blessed to have fans like u guys".

The Hackney-based rapper tweeted out the tracklist, which features artists such as Giggs, Scrufizzer and Doc Brown, and claimed he aims to release it around January/ February 2016.
