In the interplay of light and shadow, consciousness and creation, you find yourself both witness and participant, entwined in the grand tapestry of existence—a world where the boundaries between the real and the unreal dissolve, and the nature of reality itself remains tantalizingly elusive.

The Frequency

Growing up in South Africa, surrounded by nature's beauty and its hidden dangers, Poizon Ivy emerged. She is known for her dark, groovy, and hypnotic sound that blends tribal/oriental, psychedelic, and minimal beats. Her green signature style is a mirror to her sound; both earthy and electric. With playful transitions and a knack for storytelling through music, Poizon Ivy takes listeners on a journey that feels as mysterious as it is captivating 🐉🐉

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.
