Grammy Award-winning South African artist Zakes Bantwini has unveiled a new double single, Impatient / You Never Know, released through Anjunadeep, one of the most respected international electronic music labels in the world. The two-track project marks a significant step in Bantwini's ongoing mission to bring African electronic sound to global audiences.

Zakes Bantwini teams up with Sun-El Musician

The first track, Impatient, sees Bantwini link up again with fellow South African producer Sun-El Musician, a familiar collaborator in the Afro-house space. Emerging vocalist kisskisskiss also features on the song, adding a fresh voice to what is otherwise a reunion of two well-established names in local electronic music.

A natural next step for Bantwini

This release comes on the back of a career that has consistently reached beyond South Africa's borders. Zakes Bantwini claimed his Grammy win for Best Global Music Performance in 2023, sharing the honour with Wouter Kellerman and Nomcebo Zikode for their track Bayethe.

Signing to Anjunadeep places Bantwini firmly within an international electronic music conversation, suggesting an artist who is not content to rest on an already remarkable legacy. The double single feels less like a pivot and more like a deliberate expansion, drawing in collaborators who each bring something distinct to the table. Both tracks are now available across major streaming platforms.
