Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might really be like. The future is going to be weird, so let's get ready for it together.

The Kiffness makes jazzy, groovy & uplifting house music and are one of South Africa’s favourite live electronic acts. Since the beginning of 2013 they’ve had great success on local radio stations with 6 songs already playlisted nationwide & all songs reaching top 10 status in the top 40 charts. Following the success on radio, their 3rd studio album KIFF (1st album through major label Sony) has been nominated for 2 South African Music Awards (SAMAs) in 2014, and debuted at #3 on the iTunes pop album charts. The 2017 album Soul Safari debuted at #2 on the iTunes pop charts & the music video for popular single from the album "You Say You Love Me" was nominated for "Best Video" in the 2017 SAMAs. 

Dave Scott founded the project in early 2010 when he arrived in Cape Town to pursue a career in music. During his studies at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, Dave played a handful of instruments in multiple bands whilst holding down DJ residencies at two of Grahamstown's most popular nightclubs. Upon arriving in Cape Town he was well seasoned in both the live & electronic music realms and ready to use his experience in both forms of music to form a live electronic project - The Kiffness.

From it’s relatively humble beginnings, Dave managed to make his way from bedroom producer to building his own professional studio & earning a reputation as one of South Africa's leading dance music producers. He has collaborated with some of South Africa’s favourite artists including Shortstraw, Samuel Miller & Mathew Gold. 

Following The Kiffness' success on radio the band has had the opportunity of playing headlining slots at some of South Africa's most reputable festivals such as OppiKoppi, Rocking the Daisies, Splashy Fen & Park Acoustics to name a few. whilst playing a handful of shows abroad. 

Saxophone & synth extraordinaire Raiven Hansmann joined The Kiffness beginning of 2017. Before joining forces with Dave on stage, Raiven had played a major role behind the scenes in co-writing two of The Kiffness’ most successful singles to date – ‘Where Are You Going?’ & ‘Find A Way’. 

The Kiffness' unique ability to effortlessly blend live instrumentation with electronic house beats brings electronic shows to a new level. From jamming out deep, hard hitting bass lines live on analogue synthesizers to playing soaring jazzy trumpet and saxophone melody lines, both Raiven and Dave's instrumental talent is tangible. What's more is that they are great performers, so crowds can expect nothing short of a huge vibe.
