Markus Wormstorm
Together with front man and rapper Spoek, south african beat juggler, Markus Wormstom becomes the (now) household name Sweat X.
Now, I just got my hands on Markus solo project, and I noticed to my surprise that it has passed by relatively unnoticed, and that is a shame!
He handed it over to me this weekend and I instantly asked, -Is it share-able? (in the quest of the lost blog-post)
It was. Get Up! EP was released a couple of months ago, got some attention, but far from enough. On this track Markus features Spoek, so its pretty much all the ingredients you need to cook a Sweat soup, and offcourse it’s TASTY. Its a tad slower, and sounds as amazing to my ears as the presets of my first casio did back then (i belive it had a scratch pad too). Pure music joy.

Listen up for 15 year old Chi Chi who is featured on this track below. If she plays it right, that girl can go places.
And to be honest, I have no idea whats going on in this track. And i love it, backwards vioces, glich samples, bootybass, electro, rio funk I have no clue. He twist n turns the sound around n back again. There is a break in the middle and i think he might run the entire track backwards from there on, and he gets away with it! The only thing i know is that i wanna dance, read the t-shirt!

And while you are on the South African tripp, make sure to peep Playdoe also with Spoek from Sweat X. When I saw them live this summer Sick Sinus leaned over and whispered to me
- This is the future of hip-hop.
