Mostly I play for the day, mood, the crowd and sometimes just for myself.  There is some of all that in my set.  I think the playlist best reflects how I approach what I do.  I dropped 45 tracks in about 45 mins.  I had a blast.  Thank you to all the people who gave me some props after I hope to see you all out sometime soon.

Thank you Westword for doing a great event.  Thank you to all the artist’s involved, without you all this shit ain’t shit.

When I am on tour I look for dope street art.  I did find some on this trip and shot a little video.  Here it is.  Enjoy!

You can text DNON followed by the number 03 to 720.308.4687 or follow the link below.

Get on over and Vote for Klaw or one of the fine folks in the Best DJ (Non-Traditional) category.  These are the people keeping it interesting and taking all kinds of risks playing new music or stuff you would not hear normally.

Don’t miss my set on the Bar Standard patio at 2:15pm Sat. the 20th.

For anybody that witnessed the season closing party in Vail for The Jump Off! you might never be the same,  I won’t be.

Thank you to all the folks that came through and the amazing staff at Garf’s you’re the best!!  Anyway this is a live mix that clocks in at just under 3 hours.  I did edit it down to 2 hours for soundcloud but the entire mix with the bonus hour is also up for download below.  I start getting hammered and talkin a bunch of shit on the mike.  Its actually pretty funny.

The whole set is a freestyle and that is usually how I do things.  I don’t claim any super DJ skills I just like to play music that people like to listen to and shake what they got.  I usually use 2 turntables and serato.   Haters can eat a dick, I’m making more money than you son!

See you next winter.

The Season is Over – mixtape by The Jump Off!

Full 3 hour set

Well done sirs!

Lessons Learned

Live from The Jump Off! In Vail the other night. We all know how drunk these parties are for everybody involved, so grain of salt this shit and have fun with it. I never claimed I would win any DJ battles but I still manage to throw fun parties and get paid way more than most pipefitters, i digress… my gentlemans ve…getables are exposed for the full 47 min recording as I swill vodkas and do shots of jamo, fielding requests from superdrunk foreigners and goofballs. Don’t judge my life. Whatever. Here it is….enjoy.

Been looking into this South African music scene that I think is probably go to take over the indie dance world here in 2010.  Die Antwoord  just played Cinespace (video below) for a secret show and the hype around  them is crazy!  But there is some other dope music coming out on this same tip. Peep out Jack Parrow and   I found this on a board on the interweb (see SA slang, already using it) it sums up this Zef thing pretty well.

The question to Die Antwoord, I believe, is an Afrikaans website called Wat Kyk Jy? (“What are you looking at, mate?”, that ominous last sentence you’ll hear in a pub before waking up on the ground).

The site pays homage to Afrikaans slang and zef ? an Afrikaans term that roughly translates to what we in South Africa also refer to as “common”: clapped-out Ford Cortinas with fur on the dashboard, tight mom jeans pulled up too high, “synth-heavy ringtone rave”, mullets. Zef isn’t a music style, and it’s not limited to any one culture or location, obviously, but www.watkykjy.co.za celebrates it particularly well in Afrikaans (the site was born, incidentally, in Pretoria, 1000km north of CT).

So yes, Cape Town is also full of zef, and what Ninja, Yo-lande and their crew are tapping into brilliantly is zef in the coloured community (the official SA term for mixed-race people) of the gangster-ridden Cape Flats, which would include rap in the street venac mix of English and Afrikaans.

The Flats or SA may not have heard anything like Die Antwoord’s zef-rap-rave before, but having been to a few city centre concerts where the trendy stand around trying to make sense of the new incarnation of Wadkin Tudor Jones, I?ve often seen bergies (coloured homeless people) dancing to it and laughing and totally getting it. And the crew’s gigs in the parking lots of Mitchell?s Plain go down a riot. So yes, they’re authentic. Is Marshall Mathers, if you want to draw a parallel, any less authentic when he’s in character as Slim Shady?

Jack Parow, by the way, does the zef thing, equally brilliantly, from Cape Town’s Afrikaans middle-class suburbs, far, far removed from the slums of the Flats.

And Afrochic? POC and Brasse were seminal Flats hip-hop crews in the 80s and 90s and since you’re obviously not from Lentegeur or Bonteheuwel and can’t relate to them, why slate them?

-Sofeetjie from the Guardian UK.

Peep out some vids. Shit is good and like in any scene there is beef.  The boards are on fire about Die Antwoord’s front man not being as street as he portrays.  

…”ninja” is being held in such high regard.. he was performing with a crew of Mc’s with ten times the ability that has… namely, Isaac mutant(best and most underated MC of our time), Skallywag and Knoffel, i would go as far as to say he rode on the talent they possessed to gain his so called “street cred”, not only is the a vile depiction of how one dimentional and racist the music industry is, but Ninja (aka waddy, aka every name he could think of) has the indecency to tatoo himself in the style of a Poolsmor prisoner… this article doesnt tell of how, when he goes to places like mitchells plein he needs to use concealer to cover his “hardcore tats” , cos if he didn’t the real gangster would probably beat him up and rape him. he’s not doing anything new either… he is doing what elvis did and what eminem did, except he has no respect for his roots. i hope he gets caught in the streets, then we can see how much of a ninja he really is! …

he shoulda stuck to being max normal!

I am sure there is mad music going on and these are just some of the vids I found. Its all new to me so please let me know if I missing out on the new shit.

Bonus video

Crystal Skullzz made of pure danceraprock crystal and according to scientists it must have taken over 150 years, generation after generation working all the days of their lives, patiently rubbing down with sand an immense block of danceraprock crystal until finally the perfect Crystal Skullzz emerged.

It is at least 3,600 years old and according to legend was used by the High Priest of the Maya when performing esoteric rites.

The Crystal Skullzz have always been here.
