Join Red Bull at their Red Bull Music Academy Info Session TONIGHT in Jozi and next Wednesday in Durbs. All DJ’s, producers, MC’s, Vocalists and anyone with an interest in finding our more about the yearly Red Bull Music Academy get down there. We were lucky to catch Tumi and Papercutt live on Saturday night at Roka and we have to tell you the man is still rocking – more than eva. GO GO GO! JOHANNESBURG Date : Thursday 26th April Venue: Bassline : 10 Henry Nxumalo Street, Newtown Music Centre, Newtown Time 8 – 10 pm Speakers: Darshan Jesrani, Tumi, Klinikal DURBAN Date: Wednesday 2 May Venue: Mission Control : The BAT Centre : 45 Maritime Place Time 8 – 10 pm Speakers: Nyambz, Klinikal Darshan Jesrani (Metro Area, Environ Records) Darshan Jesrani’s recording project “Metro Area” (with partner Morgan Geist) on their Environ label has left an indelible mark on the dance music landscape. Known for its freestyle recombination of influences which revolve around older production styles and the songwriting focus of disco, new-wave/synth-pop and R&B, Metro Area has injected much needed doses of funk and sensuality, mood and space back into the loop-based and seldom-subtle world of underground dance. Their debut album elicited superlative responses from The New York Times to The Onion, from web-logs to the Wire. Metro Area won a place among Rolling Stone’s “Top 50 Albums of 2002”, a rock and rap-dominated list for which most club/dance projects are not even considered. Further accolades include BBC/Radio 1’s “Dance Album of the Year” and a “Best New Artist” prize at the 2003 DanceStar/American Dance Awards. www.myspace.com/darshanjesrani Tumi featuring Papercutts Tumi’s pen carves rhythmically lyrical dreamscapes out of brutal realities. Each of his pieces unfold like a musical and spiritual journey through imagery as rich as the poets talent. His creativity speaks with dedication to the sincerity that the young artist lives by- this Poet / emcee, philosopher, dreamer, storyteller uses his words to challenge ego and a history of tragedy and the complex identity struggles facing this African man of the Hip-Hop generation in a post-apartheid South Africa. Tumi is the lead vocalist of Tumi and the Volume. The bands live debut album “At the Bassline’ received three South African Music Award nominations. The band has wowed audiences all over the country, impressed fellow musicians Black Eyed Peas (U.S.A), Blackalicious (U.S.A), Positive Black Souls (Senegal), Relax (the Netherlands) and has been frequent invitees to world-class music festivals. Tumi has just released a solo album without the band and alongside Johannesburg’s turntable legend “Papercutts” is re-introducing the traditional idea of a “mc and a dj” to his...
