Crazy White Boy

It’s a shame South Africa isn’t known as a major producer of electronic music. Native-born EDM house genre kwaito has certainly increased the popularity of electronic music, and South African DJs enjoy a wide fanbase around the country.

Cape Town Based duo Crazy White Boy (Ryan Murgatroyd and Kosta Karatamoglou) and fellow South African vocalist Ruegroove teamed up to produce “Love You Better”, a simple and funky track that contains vocal elements of R&B and 90s house music and the unmistakable rhythms found in South African electronic music.

Local house producers Ryan Murgatroyd and Kosta Karatamoglou are the brainchild of Crazy White Boys. Both experienced and successful DJs and producers in their own right, the pair met and decided to collaborate. Labels include Kontor, Onelove, Ministry of Sound, Cr2 and Toolroom to name a few.

Crazy White Boy have spent many hours in studio updating and developing their characteristic Crazy White Boy sound. The results: Are multiple Gold and Platinum selling albums featuring their tracks namely Electro Candi 2, F.eU (Fresh and Euphoniks Latest Album), Kent: I Cant Survive and the forthcoming Soul Candi Sessions 5.

To compliment the production Crazy White Boy have woven vocal magic of several key artists: multi SAMA-winner Tasha Baxter, Bang Bang’s front man, Rue-Groove and new-comers Thumi and Buhle.

There latest single “Love you Better” is the fastest growing record in 5fm TOP 40 history sitting at number 1. It has also been picked up by ONELOVE for Australia and KONTOR for the World.
