Virtual Reality video by Cape Town beatmaker, Damascvs
Damascvs, a Cape Town producer has made a virtual reality video for his track ‘Revogue’.
The song is off a six track EP titled ‘BUT I AIN’T GOT NO WATER FOR YOU’ by Damascvs.
He spoke to OkayAfrica about the concept behind ‘BUT I AIN’T GOT NO WATER FOR YOU’:
“You know some days when you’re on the internet, or at a party wherever, and people that are out are really too thirsty. I guess this is just a funny way of saying that I don’t need any of that shit.”
For the sake of clarity on the meaning behind ‘thirsty’ – here is the Urban Dictionary definition:
Thirsty
First and foremost this word describes someone who is trying to be “put on, be chosen,” or simply garner lots of attention. If you don’t know what those things mean, chances are you’re using the word “thirsty” incorrectly.
Examples of people who define “thirsty”:
- That chick at the club trying desperately to get into the VIP section.
- The guy that hits on every last chick in a group of girlfriends.
- The girl or guy whose top goal is to impress other people (this could be dressing a certain way solely to obtain complements, frequenting certain establishments just to be seen there, etc.)
Damascvs who is clearly over the hobnobbing of the local scene has found other ways to remain stimulated and in contact with his peers. He forms part of Quit Safari, “a beat-making, smack-talking collective of likeminded heads in Cape Town”. This also includes Christian Tiger School and Fever Trails.
“We decided we didn’t want to be roaming around, we could make our own things, our own little campsite. It’s a platform that allows us to know when we we’re making something, at least there’ll be a place where it can find a home and that we can work together for it to happen in the right way.”
Stuart Kets, the director of the Damascvs ‘Revogue’ video describes the concept…
“I was thinking about if we get to a point with Virtual Reality in which we are creating an infinite reality itself then who is to say the human experience as a whole cannot be imitated or re-created. I liked the idea of there being some kind of underground club of people that almost used VR as a drug, these experiences being sold as this taboo experience.”
