Electronic Producer

Hip-Hop / Kwaito Revival
Soweto MC reconstructing late-90s kwaito with modern drill bass and Tsotsitaal wordplay. His debut LP HUSTLE.FM was the first Static record to chart nationally.
Indie Rock Trio
Three siblings from Melville trading guitars, bass and rattling floor toms. They write short, loud songs about long, quiet afternoons and have never played the same set twice.
Afro-Fusion
Durban-born vocalist blending maskandi, amapiano and jazz horns into widescreen pop. Her voice carries decades of isiZulu lullabies and every one of them wants you on the dance floor.
Synthwave
The ghost in the machine behind the label itself — an anonymous Cape Town figure scoring imaginary films on cracked analog synths. Plays live in a balaclava lit by a single red bulb.
Neo-Soul
A Johannesburg soul singer with a Rhodes piano and a book of poems she keeps threatening to burn. Her slow-burn ballads have soundtracked three short films and one national ad campaign.
Drill
Pretoria drill rapper and part-time mechanic who records between shifts at a body shop on Stanza Bopape. Known for dense triplet flows and grainy, handheld music videos shot at dawn.
