Dj Mujava - Township Funk (Dir. ?)

warped kwaito.
u2b only, f' now.
(via superette)
bonus: learn more moves via Izinyoka's Goba.
         
The only thing I know for sure is that this is the Dubstep-Tune (or Kwaito Dub) of the year without Mujava having heard anything about Dubstep before...
         
methinks this video does a fantastic job for the track, too. just the right styling&edit&understatement. potent.
         
i agree. At first, with the intro, i thought it was going to just be a more shot-this-for-a-friend-slapped-it-up-on-youtube affair, but...yeah, it is put together rather damn well. The track itself is pretty rad, too...that whiny bell-beep noise thing is fun.
         
I feel like we're getting into Christiane Amanpour territory here. Like we need to start investigating the origins of each video to find out truly interesting stories that no other reporter (in America at least) goes to find. But it gets so far from what a music video is in any traditional sense that I start to lose interest.

Good song, though.
         
erm.. y'know, mebbe your right, i was a little fast on the more-funky-info-button - a disservice to the video's own merits. lemme right that. ok: above exoticist comment deleted. as i already mentioned, i think this totally stands as is. and i'd love to see what other work the director's done.
         
No, I wasn't blasting you. I was just talking into the air, as it were.

I'm interested in stuff like this but it starts to just get boring. ?? No offense, I mean it's just a matter of personal taste. I mean, I'm all about supporting new cultures but I mean even the beginning starts to feel like any old R&B vid, like the end of Waterfalls or something..
         
I can be kind of hippie-ish, I think it's just part of who I am to just talk into the air. I really have no idea why.. Closet hippie liberal philosopher, I guess..

Anyway I think the history of music video is full of beauty, but sometimes it's hard for me to see where music video really is going, which is I think your forte, progosk. You have a good inherit sense of that, and that's why it's nice to have you around. Sorry if I sound lame or whatever, I'm just saying.. There are natural gifts people have and they should just use 'em and not care about what anybody thinks.. I dunno..
         
Anyway I should take this time to say what I've always kind of wanted to say to many a director: Thank you so much. These videos have meant so much to me in a way that is hard to even fathom. <edited>

But music video is sooo beautiful that it's hard to even imagine how undeniably lucky I have been to be witness to most of its existence. I always feel like I'm sitting on some massive goldmine of beauty and wealth, but it's so hard to watch music video kind of tumble down this chaotic wormhole thing into an oblivion of nightmare and whatever. Seeing music video die is just an awful thing, because it offers so much understanding and breaches divides between people. There's just something about the combination of music and visuals that is not only hypnotic but almost psychologically beneficial. I dunno I don't have any big thesis behind this that really works in reality. I just like the stuff and it's awesome so yay for music video directors and etc etc gush gush la la la.
         
cool school!
         
this is bullshit
