MGMT on South Africa and DJ’s: “we like confusing people”

September 11, 2014 By Johann M Smith

MGMT South Africa – two words many have been waiting to hear for a very long time. And thanks to Rocking The Daisies and Vodacom In The City, the 5-piece (led by vocalist Andrew Vanwyngarden and instrumentalist Ben Goldwasser) are set to be the transition between electronic and rock this year – alongside UK DnB […]

DJ Warras talks 5FM: “I don’t play I kill”

June 23, 2014 By Johann M Smith

DJ Warras talks 5FM: “I don’t play I kill” It seems wherever the name DJ Warras (aka Shady Lurker) is heard, there is fire. And plenty of real music. When the new 5FM DJ left YFM recently, a storm brewed on tabloid sites and social channels. But if listener stats and new (unforeseen cooler) additions […]

Cosmic Gate Start to Feel

Cosmic Gate Start to Feel interview

June 10, 2014 By Johann M Smith

Like many long-time DJs, Cosmic Gate has had the fortune of experiencing the exodus from analogue to digital. Not just in music, but in everything. Naturally, titans of their ilk can point out the errors of our young ways. Most often than not, it’s through music. The latest Cosmic Start to Feel offering (out 27 […]

Afrojack at Ultra SA: the backstage interview

February 20, 2014 By Johann M Smith

Afrojack is one serious dude. The 26 year-old Dutch titan has no doubt stolen the limelight in the last few years and while his musical achievements speak for them self (Grammys, Top 10 DJ Mag, the list goes on), his celebrity status has far exceeded that of the norm and penetrated major paparazzi circles (who could […]

Tiësto at Ultra SA: the backstage interview

February 18, 2014 By Johann M Smith

To many an EDM fan, the words ‘Tiësto’, ‘backstage’ and ‘Ultra SA’ in one sentence gives warm chills down the spine. To you, I paint a word picture: After being escorted backstage (where I could make out the sexy back of Jahan Yousaf while she frolicked about on the mainstage during Krewella’s performance), a young […]

At only 17, Martin Garrix is not only setting the world on fire (with over 158 million views on his ‘Animals’ song alone), he’s also good friends with Tiësto. Jealous? You have all the reason to be. This kid is going places and exceeding expectations. I called up him up ahead of his Ultra South […]
