Fat Freddy's Drop have released "Shady" the first single from their forthcoming album 'WAIRUNGA' which is set for release, Friday 20th August.
"Shady" continues Freddy's Afro-Acid adventures with Fitchie’s beat-making tapping into a South African township brand of techno of which Freddys experienced on tour. A visit there in 2016 opened their eyes and ears to the wonders of township culture, with the local brand of techno - known as Amapiano - settling deep within the band's musical brain. Years later its fingerprints are all over Fitchie's beat-making on this track - paired with Dukie's incantatory vocals, delicate synths and richly harmonised horns.
