After months of shopping, Johannasburg 's BLK JKS have finally found a home with Secretly Canadian records. The Bloomington, Indiana based label will re-release the Mystery EP, a collection of four tracks produced by Brandon Curtis of the Secret Machines. Meantime, the EP is available for a free download through Jan. 5, and Digforfire.tv has a short documentary on the band's move to NYC. It's been a tumultuous year for the dub metal quartet from South Africa. After being scouted by Diplo, they moved to New York in the spring and quickly thereafter signed a branding deal with Edun, a clothing company created by Bono.
