Tonights first hour, plus ramblings


I completely forgot my list at home of what I played on my show for tonights broadcast... what a freaking pain:(
There is, however and awesome 45 minutes and 20 seconds mix by Loucas on the second hour, I am busy trying to download that. It's been SUCH a mission to download last weeks shows, that is why they are not up yet, for some reason I keep getting up to a point (ie about 97% done) and then the download fucks out, this is EXTREMELY frustrating as it takes 2 hours or so just to get to that point when it fucks out!!!
Anyway, Loucas has just moved down to Cape Town and is looking for places to DJ at, so if anyone wants to use him as a DJ, go here
On saterday night I played at an old school party, a reunion of old Le Club, Alcatraz, 206, Icon etc DJ's, it was pretty cool, the turnout wasn't bad. It was at this dodgy club called Submission close to Muldersdrift (West of Johannesburg). It was annoying though, the sound dude kept coming over to try fix something (or get the monitors playing) and kept tripping the power on my floor, this meant that I kept having to restart my set which REALLY pissed me off. Firstly the DJ's before were late, I started late and ended my set early (the guy after me pretty much started when he wanted to) and I had the power problems, OTHER THAN THAT, it was fine. Earlier on I had been at a bachelors party so I was feeling a little worse for wear by the time I arrived there (having driven about 10 kilometers past the venue, missing the HUGE sign that said SUBMISSION) I had to sit down and gather myself amongst myself:)
Afterwards I went to the Red Room for a short while to say hello to some fiends. Home at around 1am and then up early on sunday morning for a game of tennis with my brother:) Lifestyles of the rich and shameless.
Sunday during the day (brother dispatched and beaten, hahahahah) Wanda and I then went for a breakfast at tyhe new Cedar Square where we then went to see a very cool movie called "Starter for 10" starring James McAvoy of Last King of Scotland fame. It was a cool movie, we enjoyed it.
Back to my show, I have Bjork - The Sugarcubes, Japan, Sex Gang Children, plus some AWESOME new Boys Noize Remixes I will load the FULL list a bit later (when I am back at home waiting for the electrician to come to our house and fix our fucking lights!!!!
Anyhoo, here is the FIRST hour of the show, I will load the 2nd hour later:)First Hour of Show

Nick Cave


Interview with Nick Cave re New Bad Seeds Album, Grinderman...
Dig, Lazarus Dig Review

Warming - Public Misled?

Delaware - Global warming has plunged the planet into a crisis and the fossil fuel industries are trying to hide the extent of the problem from the public, Nasa's top climate scientist says.

"We've already reached the dangerous level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere," James Hansen, 67, director of Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, told AFP here.

"But there are ways to solve the problem" of heat-trapping greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which Hansen said has reached the "tipping point" of 385 parts per million.....

Unit.R Album

Unit.r ‘Phosphenes’ Album Launch



What started off as a creative outlet with no initial intent or plan in place other than making music they love, Unit.r have since developed into one of the tightest and most loved acts in Cape Town. With a real passion for music, fun and the dancefloor, Unit.r’s sound has grown into a kaleidoscope of sonic genres packed into a hugely dynamic 45 minute set.

“We have been playing most of these songs live for some time, and we just had to see how far we could expand them in a different context, without losing the immediacy and energy of the live performance...”

Unit.r have been together for 3 years and have released a 5 track EP titled ‘Two by Four’ and two music videos for the EP tracks, ‘Clap’ and ‘It’s All About’. In November 2007 they made the decision to go into studio for 3 months to record their first full length 11 track album aptly named ‘Phosphenes’, which is what you call the colourful ‘kaleidoscopic’ illusions you see when you close your eyes and press hard on them.

The album is a culmination of 2 years of touring and aims to capture the versatile and highly energised live show. The album design was done by local art hero Kronk, who undertook to create an intricate look and feel befitting their quirky yet meticulously crafted sound.

LINK TO ‘DAFT’ MP3
UnitR - Daft

Goran (vocals, bass) on Phosphenes:

“We really wanted to do a record that made us want to dance, but also one that could hold it’s own on the headphones. We had to find a solid balance and maintain a narrative in both contexts, while staying true to the emotions that inspired us in the first place … “

Unit.r have teamed up with their good friends and musical allies Kidofdoom, Yesterday’s Pupil and the Sovereign Academy Dj’s to launch the ‘Phosphenes’ album in Johannesburg and Pretoria and will be bringing down Yesterday’s Pupil (Pretoria based dance-electro producer) to open the launch event in Cape Town.

Levi’s® Original Music has come on board to support the tour along with SL magazine and local radical underground fashion label Neon Black.

A limited edition tshirt, product of the collaboration between Unit.r, Kronk and Neon black was produced to celebrate and commemorate the launch of the ‘Phosphenes’ LP…
The tour dates are as follows:
Durban – 29th March at Burn Nightclub

Johannesburg – 4th April at Carfax with kidofdoom, Yesterday’s Pupil,Dj Sassquatch, Data Takashi and King of Town.

Pretoria – 5th April at Zeplins with kidofdoom, Yesterday’s Pupil, Dj Sassquatch and King of Town.
Cape Town – 11th April at Assembly with Yesterday’s Pupil and Malcolm Skene.
Stellenbosch – 18th April at Klein Libertas Theatre with MaxNormal.TV
