Darkie Fiction – Bhoza

It can sometimes be a little hard to get up and dance when you’re being oppressed by the winter cold, but this jam from genre-melding local duo Darkie Fiction may help you do just that. This infectious modern take on kwaito is a morning song, meaning the perfect dose of light-hearted affirmatio­n needed to pull you out of bed and have you attacking the day.

Jaden Smith – Ghost

If you had taken a straw poll a few years ago, you’d imagine that few people would have believed that Jaden Smith, above, would grow up to make the kind of music he’s making today. With Ghost, Will Smith’s hyper-esoteric son seems to have blossomed into a purveyor of detached trap music that is as entertaini­ng as it is nonchalant.

Skepta and Wizkid – Energy (Stay far away)

Now and then you need an anthem espousing positive vibes that you can play when a group of young beautiful bodies gather together at a house party. This song definitely sounds like it was designed for weed smoke, bikinis and relaxed fun.
