Zakes Bantwini drops double single Impatient / You Never Know on Anjunadeep

South African music icon Zakes Bantwini is making waves on the international circuit once again. The Grammy-winning producer has officially released a double-single project titled 'Impatient / You Never Know' through the prestigious global electronic label, Anjunadeep.

This latest offering is a strategic move for Bantwini as he continues to push the boundaries of African electronic music on the world stage. By partnering with a label of this caliber, the artist is cementing his status as a leading voice in the global dance scene.

Reuniting Local Giants

The first track, 'Impatient,' features a heavyweight collaboration with fellow South African hitmaker Sun-El Musician. The duo, who are no strangers to creating Afro-house magic together, are joined by the fresh vocal talents of kisskisskiss.

The track serves as a bridge between established local sounds and the international electronic market. It highlights Bantwini's ability to blend familiar production styles with new, vibrant voices.

A London Connection

On the second track, 'You Never Know,' Bantwini taps into the expertise of Jordan Arts. The South African-born multi-instrumentalist is currently based in London and has already garnered support from massive industry names like David Guetta and Paul van Dyk.

This collaboration underscores the project's international appeal, linking South African roots with the fast-paced electronic music culture of the UK. The track showcases a different side of Bantwini’s production range.

Building a Global Legacy

This release follows a historic period for Bantwini, who secured a Grammy Award in 2023 for Best Global Music Performance. He shared that victory with Wouter Kellerman and Nomcebo Zikode for the acclaimed song 'Bayethe.'

Far from slowing down after his award success, Bantwini appears focused on expanding his reach. Both new tracks are currently available on all major streaming platforms for fans worldwide to enjoy.
