DJ Dadaman & Moscow Dollar – Ka Gaza

Before amapiano and gqom came to dominate the South African scene, bacardi music, a potent cocktail of kwaito, house and synth pop, was bubbling through the townships. Spearheaded in the early 2000s by DJ Spoko, a student of Shangaan electro maestro Nozinja, the sound emerged just outside Pretoria in Atteridgeville and quickly picked up steam, spreading across South Africa and ultimately making its mark on clubs around the world. Growing up in Atteridgeville, Gift Mashaba (aka DJ Dadaman) was another of the bacardi scene's most important progenitors; he started his journey way back in 2003, initially sneaking time on his family's PC to experiment and develop the formula that would soon have him known locally as "MabaShghubu" (the hitmaker).
