By Dylan Heneck on Jan 26, 2017 | Rest my child. Have a stool to sit on and perhaps a glass of water as well. You're being exposed to some seriously large sounds both literally and metaphyiscially.  In fact, just check that your body hasn't begun to evaporate already. You're probabl... read more →

Rina Mushonga - AtalantA
Sounds like: BEA1991, Empress Of, IDER
By Connor Dillman on Jan 26, 2017 | Yes. This is what I'm talking about.

By Dylan Heneck on Dec 12, 2016 | As we wind down this torrid year it's refreshing to still be receiving such enjoyable music. Considering that celebrities can become president so easily nowadays I think it worthwhile compiling a list of musicians I think might work well as president... read more →

Broadway Sounds - Ah Ring Ah Ting Ting
Broadway Sounds - Ah Ring Ah Ting Ting
Sounds like: Fela Kuti, Tchobari
By Dylan Heneck on Oct 10, 2016 | Essentially the goat cheese of music, Broadway Sounds managed to create a unique cut of afro futurist music that sounds very similar to Nigeria's Fela Kuti while actually being from Australia.  Why goat cheese you ask? Well because they aren't cows.... read more →

Maramza - Witchu Ft. PARTYNEXDOOR & Drake (Umlungu WeGqom Remix)
Sounds like: Rudeboyz, Clap! Clap!
By Dylan Heneck on Jul 27, 2016 | Back at it again on a new SoundCloud account is Cape Town's local favorite Maramza. He's hijacked a Drake song, but my God has he done some serious work on it. Maramza obviously isn't normal. I can't identify exactly which strain of wizardy/witchery... read more →
