More change, more challenge, more stress, more awareness of our frailty. Also more truth, more focus on priorities. What is life for? What do we choose to do with our precious life time?

“Life’s a Spark” was initially conceived during the first wave of Covid lock-down, then marinated in everything else that has happened since. We all know, but too often forget that life is a spark, and it can dance.

Life's a Spark

Qkumba Zoo straddle as many contradictions as their native South Africa. They have one foot planted in the fertile delta of their continent’s ancient tribal rhythms and the other in the western world’s most progressive, cutting-edge yet melodically shimmering alterna-pop. They are attuned to the mysticism and magic of their homeland as the birthplace of civilazation, yet have their sights firmly set on a multi-media future in post-punk, post-apartheid South Africa, just as the old and new toil away side-by-side in present-day Johannesburg.

Drop beats, not bombs😃

Rave-N8er's been an avid musician for many years. Starting out in the early days of Win3.11 and SoundBlaster AWE cards, he has been writing electronic music that varies from sublime to science fiction. Requiring a more hands-on approach, he introduced the bass guitar to his skillset, and this lead to some rock and accoustic influences on his music. Later, after a yearning for public performance got the better of him, he branched out into DJ'ing, and added mixing and software DJ'ing tools to his repertoire. Now, he spends most of his time weaving multi-layered and unusual electronica tunes on his software looms, and bringing together new combinations of creative sounds in a tapestry of electronic colour that is uniquely Rave-N8er!
