Michael "SHMIKESSS" Veltman is a Cape Town–based cinematographer, DJ, live performer, and producer whose sophisticated sound creates immersive narratives. Drawing from themes of collective consciousness, his sound blends dub, melodic, atmospheric, and psychedelic textures with progressive house, minimal, and deep techno.

As co-founder of Tomorrow's Monday Records (@tmrwsmdy), one half of @thelostboysza duo and creative director and curator of @pandorafestival , SHMIKESSS is building a community that bridges Cape Town’s underground with a global network - hosting transformative events and fusing music with cinema, photography, and visual art.

His rapid rise has already seen releases labels such as Berlin’s Katermukke and its sister label MUKKE, South African imprints Back To Funk and Imprint, Musumeci and Phunkadelica's Something Nu, Iorie's Deep Filth, as well as his own Tomorrow’s Monday. With a growing catalogue of unreleased tracks tested exclusively in his live sets, SHMIKESSS is gearing up for multiple EPs and an album on the horizon.

Known for boundary-pushing performances, SHMIKESSS weaves storytelling, deep emotional resonance, and unconventional methods into his sets - including his innovative use of mushrooms to trigger sound through wired biofeedback frequency.

Based out of Linz, north Austria, Martin Schober is a singular protagonist at the forefront of this beguiling game we call drum & bass. He likes hip-hop, skateboarding, schnitzel, Leibniz biscuits and long walks in the sunset, but he’s most respected for how he traipses across electronic music’s wildest terrains with total boundary abandonment… And is regarded as a leading influential new-gen figure in the genre. 

From his agenda-setting halftime twist of ‘Sunday Crunk’ to his rolling, emotional collabo cameo on Camo & Krooked’s acclaimed album ‘Mosaik’. From his entrance into the Fabriclive mix hall of fame with a mix album comprising entirely of his own productions (‘Fabriclive 95’) to his Drum&BassArena Award-winning debut album ‘Emulation’, Mefjus’s signature sound has been felt across the furthest expanses of the genre since he emerged in the early 2010s. 

Now working closely with Vision - the label run by kindred studio spirits Noisia - Mefjus continues to fine-tune his musical syntax, technical dexterity, eye for detail and deft groove sensibilities. The latest chapter to savour this on-going flux of development is his second album ‘Manifest’.

Released April 2018, ‘Manifest’ is the sound of Mefjus 2.0. After several years in the studio wilderness, exploring the dark science of song structure, musicality and textural contrasts, ‘Manifest’ captures a new mindset for Mefjus. Raw, energetic, playful and subversive, ‘Manifest’ is the most personal, diverse and daring body of work to date. Not so much as reminder of why he occupies such a unique position in drum & bass but a straight-up statement of intent.

So now you know. And knowledge is power. Thanks for reading.

Singular Mind is a duo of producers consisting of Alexander Polyakov (Dubai, UAE) and Igor Ryabukh (Moscow, Russia).

Science Frikshun started out with one mission in mind, to promote the underground music culture in South Africa showcasing and promoting the top artists South Africa and the World has to offer.

Drum & Bass is the true driving force behind Science Frikshun and with a rapidly growing scene as in South Africa; we have come up with a unique concept enabling us to push our sound out to the masses.

Science Frikshun has reinvented the way Drum & Bass events are done in South Africa, moving away from typical small dark spaces to larger exclusive venues focusing on top quality Production, Lighting, Equipment and Sound. This enabling us to give the artists a platform where they can do what they do best, while still maintaining the whole Underground feel that goes with Drum & Bass Culture.

Whether we do indoor events, outdoor festivals or Exclusive Street Parties in the middle of the City, we ensure that each event is truly unique and that it stays the topic of discussion among our fans for months to come.

Recognized as one of the top underground movements in Africa, Science Frikshun will continue to entice audiences by taking over stages and promoting the sound we love so much, the sound we live for - Drum & Bass…

Debuting at Rubricate in 2021, Lolo has steadily built a reputation for delivering carefully curated sets that showcase her love of melodic liquid and deep-rolling Drum & Bass. Co-founder of the underground DnB collective - Liminil, she’s solidified her commitment to sharing the underground minimal sound with fellow enthusiasts.
