“With every composition, Gamedze attempts to peel back layers of our forgotten past. He stands as a constant reminder of the beauty of living in hope and fighting for a liberated future. This music reflects the times we are living in — it’s urgent, it’s driving, it speaks to the soul.” - Tseliso Monaheng, Okayafrica

“Pokemans” echoes the sound of Tortoise on Standards as much as it does Four Tet or any of Junichi Masuda’s 8-bit school bus classics, employing a breezy electric guitar theme with 808-style bumps and lo-fi City Pop sounds, sprinkled with delicate, chiming synth melodies in a would-be Gameboy soundtrack.
