Africa Hitech's debut album '93 Million Miles' has been one of the highlights of this year earning praise across the board for it's mutant take on dubstep, juke, electronica and dancehall. Now following the release of the 'Out In The Streets' single we have the official video and it's as weird as it is amazing.
Africa HiTech are Mark Pritchard (of Harmonic 313/Global Communications/countless more psuedonyms fame) and Steve Spacek (of Spacek fame and notable Dilla collaborator). They began bonding over their shared passion for the seemingly disparate spheres of bubbling Detroit techno, soul and fierce Jamaican digital dancehall.
It was when they both, by pure coincidence, found themselves living in Australia that the connection was cemented. Africa HiTech is the moniker which represents both Steve and Mark’s love for all things progressive within music, whilst acknowledging that the roots of much of today’s popular music can be traced directly back to Africa.
