'Control', the fourth single from Spoek Mathambo's debut album Mshini Wam, is a 'darkwave township house' cover of the Joy Division classic 'She's Lost Control'. In collaboration with one of South Africa's most influential photographers Pieter Hugo, and cinematographer Michael Cleary, the new video explores township cults and teen gangs.

Shot on location in a squatted train boarding house in Langa, Cape Town, the video features a cast mostly made up of local neighborhood kids who run their own dance troop, Happy Feet. Spoek Mathambo has been pioneering a progressive take on African music for the last few years via his DJing (as HIVIP), solo and live band projects, having featured on Boysnoize Records and Top Billin.
