Audiophile 021 sent through his latest remix and damn is it large! My first thought was, really, Lily Allen and dubstep? Luckily I didn’t say it out loud or I would have had to swallow my words. In contrast to the pop-feel of the main vocal loop and build up from the original, his bass [...]

Dear Ralph, Your four love letters arrived today. My landlady said a heavily sweating man stuffed them in the mailbox and lurched off like a wounded kiwi, so I assume you delivered them yourself. A million thanks, really. All the letters make fine reading, but I was particularly struck by your complaint (letter 2, page [...]

Doubtless is full of Liver swagga. The drums have a funky swing in their step and the bass is filthy. The lead synth is edgy thanks to some well placed bit-crushing and at times moves into Voodoo People territory. Makes me wanna climb in my mech and stomp on some fools! Cardiff based Astroid Boys!

My Dreams is the second free track Popskarr are giving away as a prelude to their EP dropping in July. In case you missed the first track, The Rise, you can grab it here. The production matches the title, with Lapse laying down serene and dreamy electro-pop over which IAmWaves pours his haunting vocals. On [...]

Not all producers can remix, luckily this does not apply to Audiophile 021. He sent through a number of top notch remixes that show his versatility across genres and his talents at reinterpreting music. His remix of Gunman by 187 Lockdown takes the speed garage track down a few notches in terms of tempo and [...]

The i art sa community mural project, a collaboration between A Word Of Art and Adidas Originals, has, if anything, shifted the focus of Cape Town’s creative scene from the protected frame of the art-fag clique to Woodstock as a whole, a suburb that is incredibly diverse in terms of its social fabric. A mixture [...]

Battle Beyond The Stars will be dropping his new EP entitled Memorial in the very near future. The Desert is taken from this release, which promises to be something very special indeed. Simple drum programming and a tiny arp set the backdrop, for a synth with that “french-touch”. I always imagine sunsets and convertibles when [...]

This weeks Bon Jovi Friday mix comes courtesy of Magnum Hi-Fi, one half of the now defunct Grave Danger. The mix covers a number of genres, but feels cohesive rather than schizophrenic. It even contains the hauntingly beautiful Lonely C by Soul Clap. I do not want to single out any more tracks, as the [...]

In celebration of his 1000th fan on the Book of Faces, Liver decided to release a free track, named after that person. Unfortunately he was not sure who was fan number 1000 and who was 1001 so he just combined the two names. It is also his first track since returning to Jozi. Luke Niewenhuizen [...]

I honestly do not know where Richard finds the time to produce such ill bootlegs. Taking a cut n paste approach, he reduces and changes samples and rearranges slices in a way that creates a new sound. A good bootleg is both familiar and yet strange, and Sin n Juice does that perfectly! Technorati Tags: [...]

A Bon Jovi Friday on a Friday!?! What gives? The short answer, technical problems. This laptop is ancient. Anyway, moving on to the mix! JakobSnake, one half of bteam, sent us this mix which simply oozes class. Well slease at times, but mostly class… In just under 45 minutes he explores a palette of (minimal) [...]
