- UK meets South Africa meets Baltimore on this captivating cut from Scratcha's new EP.
- UK luminary Scratchclart's latest lives up to its title, "Flex." It's the first track off his upcoming Afrotek EP, melding various styles to set the bar high for a scintillating new era of globally impactful Black dance music. It beckons from north to south to west and back again. Joined by Baltimore vocalist :3LON (Elon Battle), the two create yet another "cyber oasis" here, drawing from the well of South Africa's finely-tuned log drums and synths that are usually found in amapiano and gqom cuts. The result is a carefully crafted sound, showcasing Scratchclart's ability to seamlessly straddle multiple soundscapes, as :3LON mimics the gentle intensity of South African dance music's undeniable global appeal, for a soundtrack fit for any pose struck in the bedroom, ballroom and everything between.
