With a musical career spanning almost 20 years, originally as a studio engineer from 1993 and then under a number of aliases, the masterful drum & bass craftsman SURVIVAL has expertly shaped his personal sound. Building up a formidable back catalogue, with regular releases on Dispatch, Symmetry, Critical, Exit, Shogun, DNAudio & Quarantine, Survival has also generated a spate of brilliant solo and collaborative releases with Silent Witness, Alix Perez & Octane & DLR for his own label, Audio Tactics. 
Alongside further work with dBridge, Fierce, Sabre & Ant TC1, and Break both his solo work and collaborations have become increasingly sought after, whilst productions with Silent Witness have continued to mature, forming a remarkably diverse joint sound; it’s a partnership of the highest calibre.  Dispatch Recordings are set to release an album from the duo, in early 2013 ‘In From The Wild’ that showcases the pair’s exceptional talents, working alongside artists such as Klute, Cern, Sara Mitra & Submotion Orchestra lead, singer Ruby Wood. 
When combining the new album with an exceptional release history dating back to the mid 90's and an exciting new venture into deeper bass music under the alias of both South Soul Project, and Basenji you can understand why Survival is so highly regarded within the scene; a true architect of the genre.

Pioneer Unit is an independent Cape Town-based Hip Hop record label.

As the name suggests, our focus is on developing Hip Hop artists who push boundaries, break moulds, and blaze trails. ‘Unique’ is an adjective that’s thrown about very easily these days. However, it’s an adjective we feel very comfortable with.

There’s a wide variety of influences in our music, everything from Roots, Dub and Dancehall, to Electro, Detroit Techno, Dubstep, Grime and of course, the sounds of Africa.

Africa is the birthplace of rhythm. That rhythm found its way to the Caribbean through the music of the slaves where it eventually became Reggae and Dancehall. From there it travelled to the US where it evolved into Hip Hop. Soon after, it spread out around the world, and back to Africa.

We represent one completed circle in Hip Hop’s journey. Our mission is to keep that journey alive by making innovative African Hip Hop that is at home anywhere in the world.

“Pioneer Unit - home to Ben Sharpa and KONFAB, two of the most inspired and agile lyricists in the world today… spitting raw truth in their dungeon-dutty Cape Town-prophets voices…”

Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC Radio 1.
