Helter skelter- dj craze w mc foxy, fatman d, skibadee, and det

Helmed by Stanza (core crew of True Tiger), Stripes has proved itself a strong force in London's underground circuit for the last three years. There's a lot he has to thank the cast of artists he's pulled in from around the UK for this, in producing such a compelling sound for the imprint. The formative releases came from Stanza's inner circle calling on the likes of Chimpo, True Tiger and Kinzy to contribute the label's formative releases before widening his scope of talent and reaching out to Bristol based duo Monkey Wrench. The pair hooked up while studying in Bristol and have been growing a healthy rep of their own in recent years for tactfully blending elements from the spheres of bass, garage and house. 

With their Farringdon debut slated for our joint venture with Red Bull Studios London next Friday (July 1st) the duo also got together to put together a promo mix to properly demonstrate their sound and features tracks from themselves Near, Caski, Sly-One, Hypho, Dread MC and many more. We should also add their date with us also neatly ties in with their next EP release No Signals which drops on the same day and we wholly recommend you take some time out to check, right after you've got through this mix.

RONI SIZE + DYNAMITE @ Jungle Quake '95 : Malcolm X Bristol

Om Unit has forged his own path in light and is now truly a pioneer of his own, it's been amazing for us at The Operatives to be part of this journey and humbly he has graced us with a mix prior to his mini tour  and appearance at our 14th birthday: WE ARE 14

'Frameworks'

"I've been thinking a lot lately about the journey myself and some peers have been on, travelling around the Earth as DJ's and what I feel we have contributed in some small way to the world of beats/bass/dnb etc.. It's been such an amazing ride so far, but speaking for myself, I think somehow some years ago I got a little lost amongst the 'career' aspect, and in a way let the external forces that come with a relative degree of success in a sense dictate some of my relationship with myself as an artist. Over the past year or  so, i've been enjoying getting back to basics, and re-focusing on the real essence of what it is I set out to do in music, having for-filled my 'teenage dreams' of working within the dnb community, I have in a sense been enjoying to returning to being a fan 1st, and with my own creativity, exploring new avenues, which will become more evident in 2019 via my own releases but also the output of Cosmic Bridge (thinking as it's curator). 

This mix is something of a diagram of the landscape of current music that is important to me both as a DJ and artist, but also a heads up to anyone looking for inspiration, I feel there are nuggets of inspiration in here for potential futures that might be autonomous from any given scene. It is also a showcase of what is to come in 2019 from both myself and the label, in a way a set of 'frameworks' for inspiring and forward thinking producers." - Om Unit

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.

"[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
