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.
