Dumela 113 EP (12")

Okzharp (pronounced "o-k-zarp") is a project that pivots around South African born London producer Gervase Gordon, who still maintains strong links to Capetown and Johannesburg and the creative work coming from there.
'Dumela 113' - translated as 'Hello 113' - is a suite of house mutations that feature the vocals of Manthe Ribane, an artist who runs the creative studio in Capetown called Studio113 with her two siblings, while her own work spans dance (she toured as a dancer with 'Die Antwoord'), modelling, styling, film and photography. 'Dumela 113' started to take form when the South African director and photographer Chris Saunders introduced Manthe to Gervase. Chris and Gervase had started making a film together, called 'Ghost Diamond', which Manthe styled, choreographed, and starred, in. Consequently two tracks on this EP, 'Fede' and 'Sizzr', are also from the film's soundtrack.
