When we first saw this man at a joint effort by B-side (a project where he is also a part of), Mechatronica and Galactic Funk we instantly recognised why Intergalatic FM picked him up to do a monthly episode for their show Onderwereld; the drive of his acid filled landscape layered by some stomping 808 bassdrums makes this a thrilling blend to lose your night to. 
Go check his skills at Spielraum x Herrensauna next to the likes of OR:LA, KI/KI and Afra.    

Let his music do the talking.

Dj Okapi at Jaeger Oslo
live recording 04/09/2019

I have to tune the car radio manually to get to the place I want to be on Cape Town’s FM bandwidth. The seek button scans over the desired channel even though I’m just a few blocks away from the broadcasting headquarters. Immediately, the old, but familiar hiss of white noise transports me back to my youth and then it pops into life as I get to 89.5. A two-step punchy snare and a syllabic yelping in Zulu greets me on the other side, this sounds more like home.

“You have to listen to Bush Radio” a friend told me the night before, “if you want to hear South African music”. For the past week I’ve been driving around my hometown listening to the ubiquitous sounds of popular music from Europe and USA proliferated by the nationally syndicated stations like 5FM. This has always been the case in South Africa and notwithstanding the community focussed programming from small, inconspicuous stations like Bush Radio, this has remained the broadcasting practise for the most part of my adult life too.

Every time I return to South Africa I’m always astounded and dismayed how very little has changed in that regard, even when in Europe, South African music is being proliferated by DJs and radio everywhere. The sound of GQOM, the band BCUC, a revival of seventies era Fusion, and the newfound interest in the eighties bubblegum sound had all been largely instigated and promoted through European labels and record stores in recent years.

Limited by constricts like the lack of vinyl presses to re-issue music and the fact that most of the original records are harboured in European record collections, it’s obvious why this has happened, but it doesn’t look set to remain this way for much longer. In recent years a DJ, a blog, a label and a record store has come along, all dedicated to changing this, bringing South African music back home and making availeable on the vinyl format again. It all funnels down to one man, Dave Durbach, better known by his DJ alias Okapi, who is tirelessly and selflessly, collecting and re-distributing this music through Afro-Synth, a blog, store and record label dedicated to new and forgotten South African music.

Hailing from Cape Town, where he cut his teeth around the bars and clubs in the small scene around Long Street, playing everything from Hip Hop to Jazz, Dave had always been known as something of a “vinyl junkie” by the locals. At a time when the format was largely forgotten for the more accessible digital formats, Dave would haunt the used record shops in and around Cape Town for obscure records from the eighties. The records largely disregarded as disposable “bubblegum” music by a predominantly white music media, became an obsession for the latent digger in his teens and laid the foundations for what would later become Afro Synth; a blog dedicated to shedding new light on a lost era in South Africa’s rich music history.

Afro Synth garnered attention for its unique and largely untapped source of records from from an apartheid-era South Africa with considered reviews and articles about the artists and the records sound tracking the end of white-minority rule and the first exciting years of post-apartheid South Africa. These were the talented, mostly black artists that remained obscure for the longest time, pressing limited runs of their records on independent labels that were quickly assigned to bargain bins all over SA. He established the blog to highlight these finds and through his words, many South Africans (this writer included) were lead on an extensive journey of discovery through a very niche, and almost forgotten corner of music history.

RLR AMS SHOP - Sekan for Waves September 19th 2019

CC&PT with Steven van Hulle #013

"[Started DJing] sometime around 2011-2012. I'd made hiphop beats for a long time before that and then stopped for a few years. When I started making music again, I was focused on dance music and DJing seemed like a good outlet for that." - @reverenddollars

For our 6th episode, we had invited over B-side's @tarsdj to give us a glimpse of what we can expect in our second area during Strangelove on the 5th of October. He's known for his vicious blend of electro and acid weaved together with hypnotic bass-lines, so gird your loins before you tune in and enjoy the ride.

We hope everyone enjoyed ADE and is fully recovered to get back on the party train as this week's artist represents our event special on the 60th episode in our series. 
We're pretty sure you know everything about this man already from our previous posts and he shows exactly why we asked him back for this episode and our event on the 2nd of Nov: Percussive synth lines, an insane intro/outro and a propper dose of acid all pitched down from the original make this a really interesting journey.

We can only encourage you to all come to the event next week to see this man in action and join the journey that we are on.

Let his music do the talking.
