modern art makes me want to rock out.
Disco Punk kids from all over South Africa.
Any African musicians that are trying to create something genuinely new.
Punk-funk, electro-rock, space-disco and indie-dance bands/producers and labels; I am always looking for new stuff to DJ and would love to hear from you.
If your an international act making music that cannot be beat-mixed, I am not interested in getting a random request from you.
I am quite content with the post-rock, indie-pop, freak-folk, psych-rock and shoegaze bands that I already love and don't need to know about anymore, thank you.
I am even less interested in the thousands of bands out there churning out crappy metal, pop-punk, trip-hop, stoner-rock, nu metal, hard rock and hip-hop.
If you make crap music and randomly add me you will land up
here. so everyone can see how sad and pathetic you are.
