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 🐉🐉

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 on Berlin’s iconic Katermukke and its sister label MUKKE, alongside South African imprints Back To Funk and Imprint, 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.
