Episode 2: SHMIKESSS @ Llundudno Beach (Cape Town)

Welcome to the set I played at one of my favourite stages at Afrikaburn 2024 - Insight.

What an honour it was to be able to share some of my selections at the inaugural year of the Insight Art Car. The production and sound of this aluminium beast was simply incredible.

This was a 1,5 hour journey on Saturday night from 23:00 - 00:30.

@pangeafrequencies has always held a deep place in my heart—a truly sacred space. Being there as part of the build team of the Canyon was an unforgettable experience, and it was an honor to open the floor with my set.

When I first heard the theme Brave New World, it resonated deeply. I felt compelled to craft an entire journey of tracks inspired by what it means to carry oneself through and embody a brave new world. For me, music has always been a portal for expression—a way to communicate what words often can’t. 

This was only my second live setup ever, and pushing myself to play a full two-hour set of all-original music was an intimidating leap. But every moment of magic shared in that incredible atmosphere with that crowd made it more than worth it. For those asking about the mushrooms—yes, they were an integral part of the set! I used playtronica to connect my synth to the mushrooms, producing some unique spacey, and psychedelic sounds. You can check out my instagram for more details on this.

Everyone - the response to this set has been overwhelming, and I’m so grateful for everyone’s kind words and energy. This has been my most meaningful and ambitious creative project to date, and I’m humbled to have shared it with such an open-hearted audience.
