The remix has built a reputation before its release, with DJs regularly featuring it in live sets and audiences searching for the unreleased version online.
For long-time fans, it offers a fresh perspective on a familiar favourite, while introducing younger listeners to one of South Africa’s enduring songs through a contemporary electronic sound.Go Around (Mpho.Wav Remix) will be available on all major streaming platforms from 24 July.
