House Saladcast 857 | Vicmari
Blur Records / Closer to Truth
Cape Town, South Africa

Producer and live performer, Vicmari is undoubtedly one of South Africa’s most unique electronic music acts. His tracks which often contain hypnotic melodies and groovy bass lines are complemented by his affinity for acoustic, ambient sounds as well a good dose of classic House grooves.

Vicmari’s musical journey really began back in 2011 when he connected with Daniel Paul Behemann, founder of Slope Music, Eclipser Chaser and Cabinet Records in Germany. Daniel became somewhat of a mentor to the young artist guiding him through the early stages of his music career and encouraging him to develop his sound. As time passed their friendship grew stronger and Vicmari ended up becoming part of the Slope Music family with his debut album ‘Audiodidact’ being released on the label in 2016. The album received support from the likes of Brendon Moeller, Cab Drivers, DaRand Land, Pierre Estiene and before long all vinyl pressings of the album had sold out.

Following the relative success of the album, Vicmari began working on his live sets, bringing his productions to life by taking the dance floor on journeys of hypnotic grooves and transcendent melodies that quickly bloomed into the distinct sound he can now call his own. His live show has seen him grace the stages of events such as Rocking The Daisies, Afrika Burn, Cape Town’s Light House Festival, Ultra Festival and many more. His sets are a healthy mix of melody and mood all held down by warm and inviting grooves that would keep the energy simmering on any dancefloor.

Vicmari recently launched his radio show for the German-based radio station ‘Radio Electronica’. Here he interviews some of his favourite artists from the South African scene while showcasing his recent selections and upcoming releases.

"Good thoughts bring forth good fruit" (George Clinton, 1974)
Surprising connections between different selections, ear-pleasing explorations crossing global borders, timeless decades and different foundations.
------------
"I recorded this mix on a cozy evening with my favourite bottle of red & some nice mood lighting after a lovely trip back from Vinly-Vanguard in east London. A record shop run by 2 jazz enthusiasts with a fine taste for wax. Funnily enough 90% of tracks in this mix I discovered there over the years. Hope ya enjoy these spaced-out Jazzadelic flutey dub mellow grooves in good fruit style!  Peace x" - Kyle Toole

Spinning Grounds w/ Vicmari

The monthly show hosted by @katharina-davids is returning with guest @vicmarick

Vicmari is one of South Africa’s most distinctive electronic music artists, blending hypnotic melodies, groovy bass lines, and acoustic, ambient sounds with classic House grooves.
His journey began in 2011 when he connected with Daniel Paul Behemann, founder of @slopemusic and @cabinet-records in Germany, who became a mentor and helped shape Vicmari’s sound. In 2016, Vicmari released his debut album Audiodidact on @slopemusic, which garnered support from artists like @brendonmoeller and @cabdrivers, quickly selling out all vinyl pressings.

Building on his success, Vicmari refined his live sets, creating immersive experiences that blend hypnotic grooves and transcendent melodies. He’s performed at major events such as Rocking The Daisies, Afrika Burn, Cape Town’s Light House Festival, and Ultra Festival, known for his signature mix of melody, mood, and warm grooves that energize any dancefloor.

'Spinning Grounds' is all about opening grounds - for both newcomers and experienced selectors alike - to spin music outside of club spaces to explore a wide range of genres from house, Detroit, deep house, dub house, ambient, breaks, UK garage, minimal, dub techno to ........

Nice Music 001 – Sunny Crypt

In the first in a new mix + interview series delving into the minds behind the labels we love, we dive deep into the fantastical world of Gabriele and Paolo, the duo behind esoteric label Sunny Crypt.

"Being very honest, not every release has a charming story about being an exotic find or hearing it somewhere on a special occasion. Most of the time, the whole reissue process starts late at night on the Discogs explore page, with a difficult-to-explain feeling in the gut... There’s always a mixture of different feelings that come with sliding into someone’s life and asking about a record they made 30-something years ago."

Secretsundaze co-founder turned leading force James Priestley delivers the goods for DIM239. A four-decade-long dalliance with dance music has seen James wear many hats over the years — producing music and running parties, labels, venues, and booking agencies, to name a few.

DJing has been a constant throughout, with James becoming well-versed in an impressive array of genres — from the various derivatives of house and techno through to jazz, ambient, and plenty more. Strap in for a ride through ambient techno, progressive house, breaks, and trance, all glued together with Secretsundaze's signature timeless feel. 

Catch him spinning at Dimensions for the first time this year at Olive Grove.

South Africa has always show a lot of support for DR during all these years, so thanks for that. With that said, It's my pleasure to have Vicmari (@vicmarick) as my next guest DJ! with deeper than deep SA UG vibes in the mix There's an excellent story behind his career start involving Deeprhythms and a certain mr Daniel Paul (@danielpaul), read on,..

FULL interview: http://www.deeprhythms.com/guest_mixes/75_vicmari_for_deeprhythms.php

// Hey Vicmari! Let’s start of with a quick introduction - tell us a little about yourself?
// Hey Timo, firstly I would like to thank you for the opportunity to share music on your amazing platform. My real name is Sanele Chiliza, born and raised in a small township called *Kwadabeka/Clermont* Durban, South Africa. I've always been a huge fan of music.
//
// You’re both a producer and a DJ - there’s a nice story about DR & Daniel Paul guest mix, can you give us a little context for this?
// So, at this point in the early 2000s, my tastes have grown quite a bit. I get lost exploring music on different mediums (radio/cds/vinyl) and I eventually saved up some cash to afford a modest CPU... I think it was running a Pentium 1 or 2 at the time? Anyway, it really gave me the ability to access the Internet and somewhere to dig around and collect meaningful music.

Fast forward sometime later, I wish I could remember who sent me the mix but it was Daniel Paul's mix for Deeprhythms. I'll never forget my reaction to it.

At the moment it felt like this was the best music I've ever heard in my life man! "Who is this guy?" - I didn't waste time and I just went off searching for him. When I finally found him, I reached out to make sure it was the right guy sure enough he was.

Since then we've exchanged countless messages and in an interesting and weird way, he kind of became my mentor.
