Record collector / DJ / Broadcaster / Producer / Brownswood Recordings boss / occasional remixer

From the smouldering ashes of the 80’s rises a phoenix. A DJ so prolific someone was once overheard saying “that dude is not half bad”. With that, DJ Fuego Heat has taken it upon himself to lead you through the musical wasteland that had befallen us and transport you back to another place. Another time. A time when girls just wanted to have fun and people still thought George Michaels was straight. So let the Erik Estrada of vinyl make you feel like every day is a musical montage from a John Hughes movie.

Lead Me To The Water EP

The brainchild of Cape Town based jazz musician Shane Cooper, Card On Spokes is a live electronic music project that might best be described by one of his lyrics: “the dance of things to come”. 
Taking influence from hip hop to house music, and subtle colours from his jazz roots, he has crafted a unique style that is constantly evolving. 

CoS has seen rapid success in the last few years, reaching a #1 on YFM, getting airplay on BBC Radio 3 and Radio 6, as well as support from Gilles Peterson, and Boiler Room debuts.  
His live performance on the Cape Town Allstars edition of Boiler Room in 2016 set the tone for his latest EP 'As We Surface' which dropped in September 2016 to critical acclaim.  

As a live electronic act, CoS incorporates keys, electric bass, and controllers, often flexing out into psychedelic bass solo frontiers, atop a bed of heaving dancefloor-centric beats.  
He has performed all over South Africa and abroad, and has shared the stage with  Little Dragon, Daedelus, Young Fathers, Clap! Clap! and more. 

Shane Cooper is known as one of the most progressive young jazz artists and double bassists in South Africa, having won the SAMA (South African MusicAward) in 2014 for Best Jazz Album, and performing and/or recording with artists like Lionel Loueke (Herbie Hancock, Robert Glasper), Nils Berg (The Stoner), Soweto Kinch, The Kyle Shepherd Trio, Skyjack, Talvin Singh (Bjork), Malcolm Braff (Blue Note), and more.  

His willingness to explore multiple musical landscapes within his recordings as  Card On Spokes has become his very identity, drawing from his experiences as a double bassist and pulling them into a music made for the dancefloor.

DJ Bob bought his first records in 1984 and since then he has played and promoted good music whenever he gets the opportunity. Armed with a cosmic knowledge of Jazz, Funk and African music and brandishing a ubiquitous smile, this DJ packs a hefty bag of finely pickled Jazz and Funk vinyl and rare grooves for your pleasure. 
He was behind the legendary live venues Mojo’s (1993-4) and then 206 Live (1995-2001) in Johannesburg and spent 12 years producing his own stage at the OppiKoppi festival, where he has been playing records for 23 years now. He has practised as an artist manager, booking agent, event producer and tour manager amongst many other titles.  
His sets, largely influenced by an early teenage Jazz education in the Free State, range from 70’s Funk and Soul through Acid Jazz to Reggae, Afrobeat, Samba and South African Jazz, Rock and Pop. Big Beat, Breakbeat and Hip Hop make regular guest appearances.  
This well-seasoned timer of the South African music industry continues to surprise dance floors with his eclectic mix of Jazz and Funky tunes.
