Masšh is a fashionable African electronic artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa. The unique sound that he dubs “astral”, derived from “astral projection”, a term used in esotericism to describe a wilful out-of-body experience that assumes the existence of a soul or consciousness. His sound is influenced by dark classical music and his love for emphasis on tone and atmosphere over traditional musical structure or rhythm, all carried through African grooves.

His music garnered support from Âme and Dixon, Jimi Jules, Hyenah, Laolu, Desiree, Caiiro, Shimza, Sun-EL Musician, Keinemusik, DJ Koze etc. and constantly appears on Black Coffee’s Spotify playlist. Song’s like ‘iLanga’ and ‘Nisikilize’ graced the no.1 spot on Dj Loyd’s The House Connect show on 5FM, meanwhile the latter coming up as one of #SelectiveStyles best of 2020 hosted by Kid Fonque.

He has since then released on labels such as Nervous Records (USA), Gondwana (KE) and Stay True Sounds (SA), Madorasindahouse, Aluku Records (UK) with more to follow.
