Say hello to one of the most exciting festivals this year. Say hello to Synergy Live . Taking place form the 25th to the 27th of November it promises to be an experience to remember. The festival is a mixture of technological wonder and natural beauty, and once again sets its stage against the backdrop of the Simonsberg mountains at the Boschendal Wine Estate in the Franschhoek valley. Between the Redbull Studio Live, the Mainstage and the LMG stage you'll be spoilt for choice as who to see, and if you need a break - and a [...]
So the incorrigible, slightly zany but always brilliant JaxPanik is back. He's released the video for his most recent single Dinosaur and the video is one of mayhem and madness. Jax Panik style.

Insane? or Insanely genius? xx yours in musical madness [...]

The Sound is a remixer, producer and DJ from Cape Town who has been remixed the likes of kidofdoom and Haezer and worked along side other 021 artists, such as CoDeC. With a possible EP to be released in 2010 and more remixes to follow The Sound is definitely one to watch.

It is never overpowering or 'too heavy', but instead is great to listen to and it might even get a few bodies moving! The Sound - Access [...]

In fiecare an, din decorul monoton si gri al muzicii romanesti descoper cate o trupa care dizloca cromatica locala. Ani buni acea trupa s-a numit Urma, anul trecut au fost (The) Pixels. Recent i-am descoperit pe Sunday People care sunt pariul meu pe anul acesta, desi sunt la al treilea album(precedentele "Untold Stories","Telepathically in Love") si canta de prin 1996. "Synesthesia" e self-produced, viu si plin de idei. Are dramatism si detasare in doze egale. Ce voce si ce versuri! Cu siguranta formatia pe care o asteptam de multa vreme, cu premise de drog sonor home-made. Pentru [...]
