 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Sweat.X are Spoek Mathambo, ‘The Kool Disco Okapi’ and Markus Wormstorm, ‘The LAN Lord’. They are The Ebony & Ivory Tron. Over the last two years Sweat.X have developed their self-described ‘future-primitive’ and ‘black sweat’ brand of patois-littered electrorap.

Ebonyivorytron is the debut release from the giraffe-riding, coochie-popping, derriere-splitting, boogaloo-breaking, Sweat.X.

Sweat.X have recently completed their European ‘Go Black Go Low Go Fast’ tour, blitzing dancefloors across London and Paris, as well as Stockholm, Gothenberg, Copenhagen, Liege and Berne.

PRESS QUOTES

South Africa’s Sweat.X are a good reason to dust off that turntable.
The duo’s avant-booty rap uses classic Miami bass synths on ‘Pop That Coochi’ and Baltimore-influenced dirty beats on ‘Glitterati’. Hop to it.” XLR8R

Sweat.X are the last word in the whole hip-house/new rave/electro-booty funk thing that’s so new it hasn’t even happened yet.” Vice

Performance art versus electro booty rap, crash landing in a cloud of filth, sex, Alexander McQueen-inspired outfits and sonic lasers.”
Dazed & Confused

Electro bump ‘n’ grind that blends Prince’s libido-loosening funk with unrestrained eruptions of jittery beat jism.” GQ

Cape Town’s hyperactive, gutter-mouthed, ‘African electro’ duo, Sweat X… armed with a bunch of ‘future primitive’ rave funk, glitchy melodies and club-friendly glam hip-house, have arrived at exactly the right time.” Time Out

If you're an angry white male in your late 20's into metal, a band is looking for a singer.

The brief:

You:
25-35, good sense of humour, lank charisma, must drink beer and hard tack, must look the part, must tune lank, have strong opinions, must prefer the old south africa, must have own transport, must be angry, must be white, english or afrikaans, must be a total mental metal head to the core. Must like, listen to, be able to sing: Slayer, The Haunted, Snot, At The Gates, Lamb of God, Pantera, etc. No death/black metal.

We:
36, 37, 41, we laugh a lot, we have loads of charisma, we drink beer and cider mixed together and we drink tack mixed with anything or on it's own, we have strong opinions and we tune lank kak, we are english white people and we prefer the old south africa, we listen to Slayer, The Haunted, At The Gates, Lamb of God, The Refused, Faith No More, Machine Head, Billy Talent, Pantera, Carnal Forge, Snot, Alexisonfire, Deftones, Tool, Gallows, you get the picture.

We have access to the best studio and award winning producer in the country and will record our second full length album next year. Other than that we have nothing planned.
So if you think you can hack it and work with us, we will certainly give you a try and let's rock out.
e mail us your story if you are keen, and if you don't fit the description - don't bother us.
Metal \m/

a truly hilarious quote from dinkys hype / blurb / blah when describing how her broad range of sounds come together:

''something like a sun-dappled clearing in the woods''

ok then.

bobbyblanko

2010-06-04 08:13:16+02:00

that would be 'undervalued'

bobbyblanko

2010-06-03 18:35:23+02:00

now, now, Navs, i'll have no dissing of Mr Richards round here, ta.

if anything hes unervalued. it takes quite a bit of talent to hold down a residency at a place like fabric for a couple years...

abi

2010-06-03 17:13:22+02:00

wow, navs i think you need big cup of stfu, what is your town anyway?

I wish we had a club like that to complain about..

Good riddance they booked the same overpriced djs who with there narrow minded thinking tend to not think beyond their’s and their mates record labels when playing, incest that ran the same gauntlet forever, recurring on an annual basis. residents Terry Francis, Richards anyone???...pretty overrated huh. Change is good; no one club should dominate the landscape. I hope to god this happens to an unORIGINal club in my town…with the winds of change blowing briskly into the sails it’s already starting to happen.

Long live Berghain with their dominant music policy and indestructible residents.

ditto - some of the best nights out ever!

b.

2010-06-02 19:01:05+02:00

tragic. some of my best club experiences ever at that place. Looks like Matter completely backfired on them. they had to pump millions into it to keep it alive and now its taken them down with it.
