Songs of historical relevance make up the bulk of the show, with an interview and guest mix from 2Lani The Warrior (https://soundcloud.com/user-51443703) , one of South Africa's busiest DJ's and entrepreneurs and a rare gem of a selector.

This month Sub Sahara returns with producer, multi-instrumentalist and DJ @raresoftware. In a relatively short career span, Alex aka Gonubie but best known as Raresoftware has emerged from the Cape Town talent pool as very much one to watch. Using DJ sets as vanvasses, Alex takes broad strokes to her musical approach both in studio and on stage. Her Sub Sahara set exhibits this beautifully

We're back with another mind-bending mix coming from the Belgian scene, courtesy of Loto Retina. In the second mix in a series of two mixes curated by Mika Oki, Loto delivers a tough, bass-heavy journey full of distorted low ends and a punk edge.

Mika Oki: "When you step into Loto’s music world, there is no going back. Loto is one of the most talented aliens I’ve had the pleasure to meet. If they had enough hands, they would play drums, bagpipes, tabla, guitar and keys at the same time. Their performances are not just music, it’s a full-on experience with generous, colourful, percussive sounds. A vibe that only Loto can dish out with pure authenticity, no half  measures."

For the first time since we started, we have handed the entire show to an artist—one who is perhaps South Africa’s most treasured electronic music virtuoso.
To celebrate the announcement of the first Felix Laband European tour since 2018, he has constructed a set composed entirely of original music, exclusively for this show. Some of it you will know—a lot of it you won’t. As always, the show will be shared on the OpenLab archives next week.
With five studio albums to his name and an anthology of singles, EPs, and albums to come—it is here that we look into Felix’s past while contemplating his ever-evolving future as an electronic musician.
With shows across Europe, the centerpiece is taking place in London on 2 August 2025 at 17 Little Portland Street, The Tent at the End of the Universe, where OpenLab, in conjunction with Sub Sahara, will present Felix Laband live in London for the first time ever.
This set is a reflective and forward-thinking journey through 25 years of musical output for Felix Laband—and an unusual gift for fans of electronic music the world over.
