African Dope releases: Moxyland
We love it, an album released to accompany a book. Read all about it, Cape Townians there’s a launch party this weekend at Fiction on the 14th August, see the flyer below. African Dope Publishing proudly presents our debut release – Moxyland the Soundtrack. It’s a 14 track compilation, created as a soundtrack to Lauren Beukes’s cult novel, the futuristic urban thriller Moxyland (Jacana 2008). The compilation is an ill-bient mash with a distinctly Cape Town flavour and a dark, gritty, futuristic edge to reflect the mood of the book, and features artists like The Tone Deaf Junkies, Taxi Violence, The Real Estate Agents, Damn Right, Krushed & Sorted, Mix n Blend, Dank, Mr Gelatine and Jacob Israel.
The tracks were compiled and selekta’d by African Dope’s Honeyb and author Lauren Beukes, and mastered by Fletcher @ Krushed & Sorted Studios in Cape Town. All tracks are published by African Dope Publishing (African Dope’s music Publishing company), which publishes songs by a growing number of happening South African composers and artists, and offers music research, clearance and licensing services to the music, film and advertising industries.
The CD, which features an exclusive short story by Lauren Beukes and beautiful artwork by Dale Halvorsen is distributed in South Africa by Soul Candi Distribution and is also exclusively available from the African Dope Online Store and selected outlets as a CD-BOOK BUNDLE.
