Formed in 2012, Phelimuncasi comprises vocalists Malathon, Makan Nana and Khera, who have all become very influential in the South African electronic genre gqom as it has developed.
Also very politically outspoken, their storytelling style of lyrics has its roots in anti-Apartheid protests. "We wanted to make people dance of course, but we also wanted to make music that enchanted or poisoned our audience", say the trio. "We wanted people who hear our music to stop what they were doing".
Despite being together for the best part of a decade, the group are yet to release their debut album. However, that will arrive later this month, courtesy of the Nyege Nyege Tapes label.
'Phelimuncasi: 2013-2019' collects tracks recorded over the course of seven years with gqom producers DJ MP3, DJ Scoturn and Menzi.
