Cape Town Studio and Live Sessions
I'm gonna try and do a bit of a wrap up of this last month on South Africa....
Much of my time was spent chasing down local MCs to record and collaborate with. I report that it has been a success! Not without tons of cancelled appointments, missed connections, miscommunications, hours spent sitting waiting for a phone call or meeting, last minute plan changes to take advantage of a stray hour or whatever. Such is the life of a producer (with a budget....small detail there. haha).
Anyway, I am happy to report that there are tracks underwya with Teba, D-Form aka Neon Don (formerly of MoodPhase 5), Max Normal, SiBot (of The Realo Estate Agents) and DJ Dope (African Dope Records, Krushed & Sorted) and a couple still to be announced.......
Max Normal considering his options pon de microphone.
Teba working his rhymes out before stepping to the mic.
DJ Dope working the beats on the computer while D-Form, The Neon Don, checks the words.
Yours truly and SiBot (who has just released his new record, "In with the Old") cutting and splicing in virtual digital land, Say Thank You studio, Cape Town.
On the live DJ tip, I played at the Cape Town Festival on Long Street (formerly known as the Nightvision Festival) with The Real Estate Agents, Humanizer, Sweat X, and the man called Diplo (with whom I had the pleasure of hiking up Table Mountain along with Marshall from Roosevelt and Fletcher from African Dope - the Club DJ Mountaineering Club hehe). All in all it was a nice scene, but very subdued as it rained the whole damn time. Very wet to say the least. Diplo ended up having to have a plastic garbage bag over his computer to protect it from getting wet.
I was super lucky and had 2 killer MCs sit in with me to liven things up. Teba Shumba rocked it and brought along his friend Ginga Cobra (totally spur of the moment). As I found out later, Ginga Cobra was in Ghettomuffin who released a track on African Dope called Paralyser that is truly the shiznit.
