Fremen Production was actively involved in the underground music scene in Cape Town, South Africa between 1993 - 2000. His first live performances were at the age of 16 as vocalist for an industrial metal band, Eraserhead. In 1996 he founded the electronica group Mo-Fi Tuesday with whom he would perform at various venues in Cape Town between 1997-1998. In 1999 Carl and Mo-Fi member Eaton Crous started collaborating under a new alias, "Fremen", specifically concentrating on Drum ´n Bass production and live performances. At the beginning of 2000, Carl relocated to Berlin, Germany where after seven years he compiled "Detach", an 11 track LP of IDM tracks that marked the first release on his label, Desert Planet Recordings. In 2013 he released "Random Mutations" a 10 track LP of previously unreleased music. A video for the opening track, "Jumper" can be seen here: https://vimeo.com/73276634

Having been at the heart of the Drum & Bass uprising in our fine Republic of South Africa, Hyphen has been dosing the South African D&B congregation for years. Every strain of venomous beat that tickles his fancy is slotted into the sets that he spins at more parties and festivals than your blackouts would allow you to remember.

The D&B faithful have grown to know and trust Hyphen who has been hosting The Sublime Drum & Bass Show on Bush Radio since 2002, which continues to be the benchmark for Drum & Bass culture on the airwaves in SA today. He is also co-founder of successful dnb event Pressure and continues to push the music he loves in any way he can.

Over the last 7 years, SFR has built up a solid reputation as the “go to guy” for
quality South African Bass Music. A testament to this is his extensive
discography of 12” vinyl releases on international labels including the massive
UK-based imprints, Trouble On Vinyl and Zombie Recordings.

In 2008, the signature SFR sound began to evolve and he took on the dance
music behemoth that is Dubstep. He has since focused on developing a
unique style within the genre by adding a unique South African influence to a
heavy bass-led sound, with emphasis aimed squarely at the dance floor. This
has proven successful and again saw SFR line up a string of vinyl releases on
UK and US based labels including Guinea Pig, Grid Recordings, Hollow Point
and W10 Recordings.

Last year saw SFR work closely with a few renowned South African artists
including Jack Parow and Van Coke Kartel, amongst others. Heʼs the
producer behind Jack Parowʼs smash hit “Byellville” and officially remixed Van
Coke Kartelʼs single “Ondier Kom” off their “Skop, Skiet en Donder” album.

Aside from being a studio wunderkind, SFR has also made a name for himself
in the world of performance. Heʼs played electrifying sets across South Africa
and has toured Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden, Holland, Switzerland
and the UK on numerous occasions since 2007.

Having just released a new single on N-typeʼs Wheel & Deal Records, things
can only get bigger for this South African talent.

Originally known as APEX

Born in Cape Town and been into music writing since the age of 9 yrs old when I picked up my first Gretsch guitar which I found in the house cause my dad was a musician...>> 
Got into music production at the age of 23 yrs old and haven't stopped
even when life throws me curve balls, I just keep pushing forward

"Heavily influenced by the more dark and experimental climbs of techno, HEKE has taken ‘Blouson Noir’ and expertly industrialised it. The use of floor tongs and timpanis create a hypnotic, 
almost tribal soundscape whilst his attention-to-detail production, the heaviness of the beats, and the already moody nature of the track do nothing but compliment one another. Dark, undiluted and packing a serious punch, Blouson Noir has been reconstructed into something entirely dancefloor ready. " THE PLAYGROUND

"a moody blend of industrial and tribal sonics."
