Lapse is back and this time he has taken the classic track Planet Rock and chopped it into little bits, keeping only a few choice pieces and sticking it all back together again with a few of his own synths and drums thrown in for good measure. Lapse takes the electro (in the truest sense [...]

Reading the press release that accompanied our copy of “Look mom, no hands” I couldn’t help but think, maybe I’ll just copy and paste the whole thing and upload two tracks from the album for your downloading pleasure. If the press release is anything to go by, the album should be amazing! It is, in [...]

So the first remix of Tonight by Popskarr that I’ve come across is this awesome dubstep remake courtesy of the Rumney Bros. aka Biscope. The first 2:16 of the track lull you into a false sense of calmness that is completely destroyed as soon as that dirty bassline comes in (is that a Virus?). If [...]

Well look what the internet dragged in! Cape Town’s Mix n Blend are the newest addition to our artists section. Check it out here! They make dubsteppy, hip hoppy, jazzy electro crunk soul.  Part of the African Dope stable, they have remixed and featured a number of premier South African acts. Look out for a [...]

I bet you’re wondering why we’re featuring an Italian group on a blog that is focused on South African electronic music. Ok so we have featured one or two Dutch acts in the past, but in general we tend to stick to the +27 since there are countless blogs out there dedicated to electronic music [...]

Popskarr are Cape Towns’ newest “Electro/Pop/Disco/Experimental/AfroPop/Epic” group consisting of chronic remixer Lapse and Angolan/Congolese/Belgium born singer IAmWaves. They have decided to inject their music with some soul. Their first single from their upcoming album is called Tonight and they were kind enough to offer it as a free download along with a remix by Mr. [...]

Our favourite Dutch dude Don Diablo is getting ready to release a digital E.P. at the end of November and an album (Life is a Festival) soon thereafter. As a taste of things to come, we have been sent the track ‘Never Too Late’, a remix by Mason and a fun little bootleg of his [...]

So Danish producer Hankat has taken the track Golden Sun by Gazelle and turned it into a beautiful minimal track that slowly builds over the course of 8 minutes and 47 seconds. Check it out and enjoy! Gazelle – Golden Sun (Hankat Remix) [to download right-click > Save As] [via la melodie du bonheur] Technorati [...]

After his recent visit to South Africa, The Toxic Avenger gave the separates to his new single ‘Toxic is Dead’ to Cape Town’s [Lapse, who promptly churned out a remix in true Lapse style, very sexy and "oh-so danceable". The remix is extended to just under seven minutes and builds up slowly until finally breaking, [...]

So Jozi based Alternative/Electro band Cutout Collective gave their track ‘Bloodlines’ to electronic alchemist Jacob Israel. True to form he took the track, mangled it up and spat out something amazing, both glitchy and melodic. Head over to their Facebook page to hear a couple other Cutout Collective tracks. Jacob Israel is set to release [...]

Jozi based Will Mono got his hands on ‘Die Verlore Seun’ from the original Limpop group Gazelle and gave it an electro treatment. The track features a stabby, filtered & distorted synth that drives the track. Although the vocals haven’t been played with too much, the ooh’s and aah’s of the original are more prominent [...]

“Be a part of the Twelv & Thesis music video at Jozi’s No 1. Underground Dance Music venue, we’ll be filming you banging your heads like crash test dummies and filling you with bass from head to toe. Its also Twelv’s birthday the next day so when the clock strikes 12 there will be nothing [...]

‘Shakawon’, the second offering from Jozi based Mtkidu, continues the groups’ efforts to change the way music is created and performed. This is primarily done by combining visual elements with the music, which enhance the stories told rather than simply offer a pretty distraction during live shows. This audio-visual combination is carried onto their album [...]
