This set is dope! Sad to have missed it, but happy to have discovered it! ❤️

Shmikey you’re too fricken good at this my dude

wow 🙏🙏🙏 track id please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I had the privilege of performing my first ever live set at the 8th Day of Creation (@8doc_music) at Afrikaburn 2024 between 10-12pm on the Saturday night. The theme of this years Burn was "Creation" and so it felt so fitting to play all original music at this incredible art piece. 

The stage was built by an international team from Berlin and Cape Town, and depicted a pregnant mother with the earth as her belly, a space of renewal, reconnection and rebirth.

I used Ableton Push, Novation Launch Control XL, Akai MPK Mini and Playtronica's touch sensitive midi hardware which I connected to a mushroom to trigger sound.

Thank you to 8Doc for having me as a part of your beautiful stage and thank you to all those who trekked to the far end of the playa to dance with me.

Love and blessings xx

SHMIKESSS (Live Set) - 8th Day of Creation - Afrikaburn 2024

Here is the recording from my set from Bucht der Träumer 2024 from Friday / Saturday morning at Saga Stage. 

It's hard to explain what happened that evening... I felt that all the stars aligned and everyone was on the same groove....

I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to everyone who made this possible and for your trust and hospitality. 

Thanks to all the dancers that welcomed the new day together, I will always remember this moment 💖

I hope you enjoy this set, 

With love,

Adrian

Here comes the recording from an absolutely fantastic morning at the Creatures Corner at Mystic Creatures Festival. Played and recorded Saturday morning 5-6.30 and uploaded from a gas station on the journey home.

Thanks to everyone who was there for making it so special, for the overwhelming amount of love and kind words during and after the set and for dancing through dusk and sunrise with me.
Thanks to my wonderful friends who danced first raw all the way, and to the stunning artists that produced and shared their unreleased gems with me: without your music, I would have nothing to play.

D-Nox returns with a solo release - My Life EP

D-Nox needs little introduction. His extensive back catalogue details a life in dance music from soundtracking festivals, clubs and events in far-flung arenas of sound to producing anthemic hits for seminal labels like Vapour, Balance Music and Bedrock.

Bringing all that experience to bear on his latest double-header, we begin with ‘Inner Peace’, a detailed exploration of his deeper side. Opening with a jangling, percussive beat, bouncy arps, ad hoc vocals and a playful reese bass create a contemplative whole. Diving deeper into the transcendence, the track takes on a meditative quality perfect for those end-of-the-night, eyes closed, hands in the air sonic ephanies.

On the flipside, ‘Your Love’ takes on a darker persona. Heavier bass, more insistent percussion, and soaring melodics, this is squarely aimed at the pre-peak floor and utter sonic destruction.

My Mind

SHMIKESSS is a Cape Town based cinematographer, DJ, live performer and producer that has always been drawn to the immersive narrative of the audio visual experience. It shows in his music taste - guiding listeners through a profound journey of soundscapes. Inspired by a deeper psychological narrative of collective consciousness, he aims to create sounds (and imagery) that celebrate the magnificence of life in all its forms. SHMIKESSS' sound is a dynamic fusion of groovy, racey, bouncy beats and rolling bass lines, shifting effortlessly between ethereal moments and bursts of pure, high-energy euphoria. As well as his individual act, he also performs as one half of @thelostboysza duo.

In a short time, SHMIKESSS has seen rapid evolution and growth in his productions,  first releasing on legendary Berlin label - Katermukke and its sister label MUKKE, then with releases on South African labels Back To Funk and Imprint. He's since co-launched Tomorrow's Monday Records (@tmrwsmdy), fostering community among Cape Town's growing scene and bridging it with a global network. SHMIKESSS is patiently honing his sound, new productions and live sets while looking to align with the right labels. His distinct sound and contagious energy has quickly launched him as a DJ, artist and events co-ordinator around many festivals in South Africa, as well as abroad in Hawaii and Germany.
