A couple of weeks ago we invited Das Kapital into the Red Bull Studio to flex his musical muscle. His Offering is a Dubstep shuffle of the highest order. A great dose of Bass infused pushes and raw, organic piano lines that tie the over-all sound of “Flight of the Robin” into a perfect, potent [...]

There is not much you need to know about Callan Maart, other than he is the new kid on the block, or more like block-rocking nu-kid.

We [...]

19 year old electronic music producer Das Kapital is the perfect example of the talent being nurtured in the electronic music scene in Cape Town today.

Upon seeing the Red Bull Studio Live tent and stage, and stepping into it, I felt like I had been abducted by aliens. Inside the massive jumping-castle-esque peanut shaped double dome, appropriately dubbed the Peanut, one could already see the throbbing 3000 capacity audience losing their minds to the line-up of some of the best [...]

The Red Bull Studio Live stage at Rocking the Daisies 2009 swept the festival onto its feet with a electrocuting line-up of DJs and live acts on the razors edge of modern music perfectly complemented by a soundsystem, lighting and VJ rig that raised the bar for electronic music stages country wide.

As a part of the avant-garde future-looking Cape Town Jazz scene, performing in bands such as Closet Snare and Babu, Shane Cooper is that rare and brilliant kind of artist who can match his hip-hop swagger and nerdy electronica with true musicianship.
