Yesterday was a huge success. We managed to gather together almost every artist who appears on the Planetary Assault Mixtape. The energy was great and everyone gave 100% and had fun on the set.

We spent the afternoon getting all the shots we need for the CD cover. The photographer, Anne-Sophie Leens, got some greats shots using a combination of her Nikon D80 and an old-skool Holga.

Big shout to Ben Sharpa, KONFAB, Archetypes, Driemanskap, Terror MC, Jaak, Rattex & Hipe. Special thanks to Eugene for lending us his factory for the afternoon.

We done did it again!

Ben Sharpa smashed another studio session last night! He dropped a hot sixteen on ‘Kill Ya Sound’ (that also features Capelton, KONFAB, Oracle Flo & Terror MC) - trust me, this verse is like nothing you’ve heard before and you’re gonna be rewinding it many, many times.

We also finished a track called ‘Where in the World’ on a beat by yours truly. It’s another Sharpa classic along the lines of Into the Black - deep, dark and brutal.

That’s how we roll!

We’ve embedded the LastFM audio player so you can hear a selection of our current and future projects. Some are available to download for FREE.

If you look in the main navigation menu we’ve added a new section called ‘Listen’. This is where the LastFM player is.

We’ve started recording Terror’s debut album ‘Terrorism’. This kid is hungry as hell and has the talent to match. Undoubtedly one of the illest Afrikaans-language rhyme spitters to grab a mic, Terror brings the rugged street music straight from heart of the Cape Flats.

Terror has seen more than his share of hardship coming up on the Flats, including a period of incarceration. His hunger to succeed has seen him turn his life around and all his energy is now focused on his music.

You’ll be able to get a taste of Terror’s unique dexterity in the Afrikaans language on the Planetary Assault Mixtape which will be out soon. His first single, ‘Liberate Yourself’ is already tearing up the airwaves and bumping in the rides of those in know around Cape Town.

Look out for production from myself, Hipe, Ameen (aka Wimpbeats) and a variety of international producers TBC.
