A homie of ours SPOEK MATHAMBO just put this out and after a couple runs on the vimeo player im totally hooked …

Control, fourth video from SPOEK MATHAMBO’s debut album Mshini Wam, is a darkwave township house cover of the Joy Division classic ‘She’s Lost Control’. For the music video, Spoek has collaborated with one of South Africa’s most celebrated photographers, PIETER HUGO; cinematographer MICHEAL CLEARY. It explores the world of township cults, street preaches and teen gangs and was shot on location in a squatted train boarding house in Langa, Cape Town. The cast is mainly made up of the neighborhood kids who run their own dance troop,Happy Feet.
