We couldn’t be more excited to announce that South African producer, singer, songwriter, and DJ Muzi has joined the Fool’s Gold family. We were bumping his 2021 album Interblaktic all through the pandemic — an album that was praised for combining aspects of Afrofuturism alongside Afrobeats, hip-hop, kwaito, and 80s electronic music.
Muzi has received press in Spin, Forbes, Vice, and more. With four studio albums since his debut in 2016, Muzi continues to progress sonically with each album, combining his influences and creativity into cohesive projects that have captured the attention of some of the biggest artists in the world. Can’t wait to share his new Fool’s Gold output with the world.

Iconic New York indie label Fool’s Gold (that’s us) spent the past decade smashing hip hop and electronic scenes together. Now it celebrates with a full year of events that take the imprint’s DIY, party-starting spirit to the next level. Founded by DJs A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs in 2007, Fool’s Gold has defined a generation of North American electronic and hip hop music: when Kid Cudi hit your MySpace top 8, Duck Sauce soundtracked your first festival, and Danny Brown shoved you face first into the outer limits of rap, the FG logo was right behind it, armed with a devotion to fresh talent and new sounds.

Check out last year’s recap:
With their massive DAY OFF NYC show only a few days away, Fool’s Gold founders A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs take PYRITE RADIO to a new level of jams and jokes. The duo hit FG’s Brooklyn store to tackle society’s pressing issues: bootleg Seinfeld merch, LA dating, Gucci Mane’s pantry, whether or not The Killers were any good, stealing snacks from will.i.am, and of course, Juicero™. Tune in and get loose. (Shout to Pedro on the vibes and Ysa Perez on the snaps!)
