“Chantel Van T’s vocals are like smooth honey to your ear drums…a joy to listen to” – Indie Shuffle


In 2016 the South African band, Diamond Thug, recorded their debut EP with the help of Dave Minehan (The Replacements) and released it to waves of support, Indie Shuffle calling it ‘…a joy to listen to’. After significant support at Spotify in their home country, where they have now had several million plays, and with the wind in their sails, Diamond Thug introduce their music internationally with their single ‘Eclipsed’, an evocative track that takes influence from the likes of Warpaint, Tame Impala and more.

Since their formation, Diamond Thug have continually evolved, always striving to create a unique sound that’s stay true to their perspective. Their music glides through dream-pop, skittish, off-kilter electronica & psychedelic-rock, creating cosmic-influenced ethereal soundscapes, which swirl below Chantel’s haunting, yet beautiful melodies. The pursuit of an authentic & honest sound has earned the band various honours in international competitions such as Culture Collide’s pick to perform at SXSW 2017, as well as Converse’s Music Global Takeover and the attention of Grammy Award winner Darryl Torr, who had this to say about the band: "When listening to Diamond Thug, you are taken on a journey. It’s the effortless vocals, supported by a solid band, that tips you over the edge & pulls you through into their world. It’s rare to find a voice that can execute such interesting melodies so effortlessly as well as a band that leaves space for the vocals to shine, yet are able to maintain musical integrity."

Their new single ‘Cosmic Dreamer’ is out Aug 4th 2017

I am a mother & transdisciplinary artist, whose practice scopes across
ecological sonic systems, landscape memory, earth body/spirit work and
transmutation. Which aims to heal the creative wounding, by
dismantling colonial weights that distort afrocentric art modalities, while
critiquing anthropocentrism from a decolonial lens, highlighting
interconnectivity, indigenous technology & environmental caretaking.
An invitation for nature to intervene, reminding us that our bodies are
scared. The body's inherent ability to heal itself is nature's sophisticated
intelligence at play. This mirror is a reminder that our anthropocentric
belief that we are exempt from nature, is in fact a condition that hinders
self-replenitive efforts extending beyond the physical surface. The spirit
itself intuitively guides us to still places which speak of the living earth, its
history and our birth right of transcending beyond suffering. Healing is an
invitation to remember the nature within our own bodies - this is where
we begin. The intersection of human rights and environmental issues,
intrinsically intertwined and entangled with colonial residues.
