Fantasma is a South African collective that manically grafts together hip-hop, Zulu maskandi music, shangaan electro, psych, South African house, and punk. Founded in 2013 by rapper/producer/singer Spoek Mathambo, he enlisted DJ Spoko (the godfather of "Bacardi house"), guitarist André Geldenhuys (Machineri), veteran multi-instrumentalist Bekisenzo Joseph Cele (Vukazithathe NeziNgane ZaKhe) and drummer Michael Buchanan. After live appearances in their homeland's townships, Fantasma played a series of dates in England in 2014 where they recorded their EP, Eye of the Sun, for Soundway. The recording was received with near universal acclaim. After a period of intense touring, they returned to the studio later that year. Free Love, Fantasma's debut full-length, was released in the spring of 2015. ~ Thom Jurek
