@Rudikastic is an up-and-coming producer from Limpopo, South Africa.  He has been producing house music for the last two years and combines elements from old school house, jazz, soul, disco and hip pop.  Influenced by groovy bass lines and soulful melodies, he has moulded his style to create a unique, blissful and sublime sound of his own.  

With successful releases on well-respected record labels such as Smashing Trax Records, Rogue Decibels, 4th Set Records, Velvet Bassment Records, Moulton Music and Oh So Coy Recordings, he is a fast-growing and versatile producer to watch out for!  He has also just released his first track under this own label, ‘Let It Play Records.’

Since discovering his music, late last year, I have been supporting him heavily ... his music speaks to me and I feel it completely ... so I’m really happy and excited to share with you, my Rudi’Kastic Retrospective … ❤️

Rudi'Kastic Retrospective

Whats shakin funky people?!  We are back with Volume 198 of the series, and we head to South Africa to welcome the deep house maestros, Exotic Duo to SRS!!

Exotic_Duo (Kgopotso Shongwe) & (Mxova_dj)
Duo based in South Africa who grew up together, deeply in love with house music from an early age. Mostly inspired by deep house, soulful house, funk/disco and electronic music. They decided to work together since they are both inspired by the same sound. Exotic Duo was formed mid-2007 when they saw a gap in the industry of making music, they started playing at Parties, weddings and events. Their inspiration came from both local and international DJ’s.
In 2009 they decided to move to music production and have managed to work with a few artists. In 2014 they released their first EP called "Rooted In Me" on Podomatic which was appreciated by a lot of people.
In 2017 they signed with The Hiive Media, a multimedia company based in Johannesburg (South Africa) and have been busy on a couple of projects in different fields apart from music. In 2018 they worked on a podcast 45BEEHIIVECAST under The Hiive Media which is available on Podomatic, Spotify and iTunes. They have managed to play live sets which are available on YouTube in different venues and giving people
that different sound and vibe.
In 2019 they realized their second EP "The Other Side" under Lisztomania Records from Russia.

As always, available for FREE DOWNLOAD!!

Originally from Bristol England, Ben Jacobs aka Crackazat is a multi-Instrumentalist and electronic producer. Since his emergence on the international scene, he has quickly become recognised for his unique fusion of Jazz and House music.

Crackazats first experience with dance music was an early one. He grew up tap dancing to jazz with his mother, developing an innate sense of swing and rhythm.
It was later in to his teenage years, that he picked up guitar, bass and started producing, emulating any music of his interest, be it the underground hip hop of Madlib, or the Jazz-funk of Jamiroquai.

In 2012 he released the “Explanation” EP on Astrodynamics, showcasing his skill for downtempo beats and synthfunk, However it was his first exploration in to club music with the “Tunnel” EP on Futureboogie Records the same year, which brought him to the attention of DJs worldwide. His relocation to Sweden the same year kick-started an alliance with Swedish house label Local Talk. 
In 2015 he released his debut album ‘Crescendo’ to critical acclaim. Two singles from the album, ‘Eye Light’ and ‘Somewhere Else’ have established themselves as future classics.
2017 saw the release of his second album, ‘Rainbow Fantasia’, an Eloquent and intelligent jazz house masterpiece. 
2019 saw the release of his 3rd Album, a reworks album of Local Talks finest tracks.

Over the last couple of years Crackazat has had an explosion of global popularity, with Remixes for the likes of Joey Negro, Moulinex, and Tom Misch. Not to mention the japanese vinyl sensation ‘Coffee Time’. A euphoric house track built around a sample from a Acapella group in his city of Uppsala.

When it comes to Live Sets, crackazat sets the bar high, having started out with supporting sets for Bonobo and Floating points. His glorious keyboard solos, funky bass guitar, and general infectious grooviness are winning him crowds across the planet.
