South African artist Umlilo has shared brooding, intense new cut 'Qhakuva'.
The new release ties Umlilo to Rushmore's always on point Trax Couture, the beginning of a fascinating partnership.
Umlilo already has two superb EPs to their name, establishing a potent electronic style dubbed ‘Future Kwaai’ in reference to their Kwaai Diva moniker.
Exploding notions of gender and identity within a club framework, provocative new cut 'Qhakuva' pairs the SA artist with producer Jumping Back Slash.
A murky, twilight jammer, it's cramped yet skeletal framework is reminiscent of the system pressure instrumental grime exudes.
Umlilo's potent vocal adds another dimension, with 'Qhakuva' becoming a mini mission statement.
Tune in now.
