Review: Since he first started appearing on records a decade ago, Lazarus Mathebula has collaborated with dozens of rising stars and well-known producers. For this outing on Freerange, he's finally gone solo for the first time, adding his now famous spoken word vocals to a track he produced himself. 'Here We Are' really is rather good, with lo-fi synthesizer flourishes, woozy electronics and his poetic vocals wrapping themselves around a slipped broken house groove and warming deep house bass. It comes backed by Mathebula's own instrumental version and a sparkling 'Nutty Nys' version that smothers crunchy deep house drums in sparkling synths and fluid, atmospheric piano motifs.
