Electronic Dance Music News, DJ Gear & Tech, South Africa
<Deep House> It goes without saying that Vinny Da Vinci is one of South Africa’s true DJ legends. If you fancy yourself even partly knowledgeable on the house scene over the past 15 years in this country you’ll have heard the name if not witnessed one of his DJ sets. Cited as a major influence […]
<Electro swing/pop/dance> Whether GoodLuck like it or not, there will always be comparisons made between themselves and Goldfish. Aside from the obvious – Ben from GoodLuck is Dom from Goldfish’s younger brother – both artists produce a mix of jazzy melodies over a dance beat. So let’s assume then that they at least were hugely […]
<Commercial Dance> When you’ve remixed the likes of Lady Gaga and Britney Spears I guess you’ve earned the kudos to pump out albums as often as Ryan Raddon (Kaskade) does. Dynasty is his ninth full length and features 12 vocal house tracks. If you’re a Kaskade devotee I’m pretty sure Dynasty will satisfy on all […]
<Tech & Progressive House> Anytime Ticon makes an album it’s worth checking out. They’ve never actually made a bad album and to be honest they’ve had some sterling ones too. But I must say I am getting a little bored with their penchant for trying to produce tech house when their roots (and where their […]
<Electro / Garage / House> Remady is a Swiss producer from Zurich who made some headway on the UK Top 100 charts by reaching number 75 with his hit No Superstar, hence the album name. This has proven to be his breakthrough track with success all around Europe and US dance label, ULTRA RECORDS signing […]
<Rap/Hip Hop/ Streetwise> The Streets is Mike Skinner. The only other member to appear on all their albums is Johnny Drum Machine but really, it’s all Skinner. He… or they… have been around since as early as 1994 but Skinners breakthrough actually came in 2000 when the Locked On label agreed to release Has it […]
<Minimal Tech> Riktam & Bansi have been producing and releasing electronic music since they were about 14 or something silly like that. Often mistaken as brothers (which they are not) legend had it that the duo were raised on an Ashram and were somehow ordained to be the psychedelic leaders of the 90’s Goa trance […]
<World Beat> Dan Harper aka Invisible System is known for fusing Ethiopian, dub, reggae, techno, trance , drum & bass with rock, folk and well, just about anything else that makes the music psychedelic. His album Punt (Made in Ethiopia) released in 2009 was met with wide critical acclaim as it challenged the conventional. Street […]
<Ambient Electronica/House> Just in time for Winter (well here anyway) Robag Wruhme drops a dark, desolate slab of electronica and house that’ll get the trainspotters and chin-strokers nodding in appreciation. It’s an album more fitting to followers of sites like Pitchfork than out and out dance fans. If you’ve never heard of Pitchfork then, well […]
<Tech House> Ooh lala!!! I love it when something really unexpected arrives in the mail to review. Canadian imprint, Wagon Repair have had some stellar releases in the past; Jules Chaz’s Toppings and Danuel Tate’s Mexican Hotbox both spring to mind. Movie T, by Ibizan duo Class B Band, continues the label’s penchant for releasing […]
