This week Kit Records showcased a guest mix by the South African composer Matthijs van Dijk: "As the Crapfest that has been the pandemic descended onto the world, and every musician got kicked in the gut with work instantly vanishing, I wanted to create a little bit of a celebration of all the amazing musicians (and styles) South Africa has, as we all wade through this shit together. Besides for wanting to include as many artists whose work I really love as I could, I put a bit of emphasis on work that was released or created during this time, and pieces that were, for me, part of the (online) tapestry of the first few months of quarantine."
