AfroWhitie
Starting off with ambient, AfroWhitie navigated the genre map on a different course to most, playing a plethora of genres through his career including Psytrance, Big Beat, Speed Garage, Nu Skool Breaks, Deep house, UK Garage/ 2Step. The fact that he never settled on a single “en vogue ” sound or movement only bolstered his versatility and sees him able to pour a decent mix of genres and styles out of the speakers in a single set all while maintaining the technique and track selection required to play each with conviction and style. He has also played alongside internationals like: Dieselboy, Cargo 77, Tom Novy, Freq Nasty, General Midi and Baobinga. His many mixes on national SA radio through 5FM’s Vinyl Frontier and TV appearances that include UBONA on Channel O and GoTv have been a perfect vehicle for his quest to pull people from their comfort zones and massage them with bass wrapped around chunky, bumpy beats!

JDL Quake
Juan DL Quake has been spinning in the South African underground scene for well over a decade. Born in the Free State, he discovered and developed his true passion for scratching at an early age and kept himself schooled on DMC and Scratch videos. He was soon playing at tops venues and has performed alongside names such as: Luke Vibert, Scratch from The Roots, Cut la Roc, Baobinga, General Midi and Cypress Hill. His style although eclectic in places is always centered around the dance floor and always maintains a high level of energy.

Now the resident DJ for 6th & Fairfax Radio (BijouBreaks.com, California), Malone offers up a monthly dose of killer breaks, mixed live and featuring a distinct international flavour.

Niskerone
Nisker:one has been playing drum & bass in Cape Town since the beginning of 2004 alongside partner in crime, SFR aka Overturn. These two quickly planted their feet firmly in the Drum & Bass scene, hosting events and presenting radio shows on UCT Radio and now Mutha Fm.
To date, Nisker:one has played at most major events including Nightvision ‘05 & ‘06, Obsfest ‘05 & ‘06, The Insanity Festival and New Years Revolutions to name but a few and also landing a weekly residency at one of Cape Town’s leading venues, Fiction. The sound that emerges from the speakers when Nisker:one is in the driving seat can be described as a bowl of deep, pulsating subs mixed with fast two step rhythms and topped with subtle hints of dub, electro, jazz and funk. To borrow a phrase from Hospital Records, a Nisker:one set is best described as “Fast Soul Music”.
