More Justin, Less Tonic... still 100% The Only One <3

The IMPROV_e series is a platform for myself to coach myself. A place where I purposefully put myself in a tough position and mix with tracks I don't know very well... or at all.

With very little to NO pre listening/mixing/beat matching

And of course, my absolute favourite sounds!

Get me, get me to play at Coachella... I AM HIM.

Enjoy the second instalment.

Ep.11 feat. CharWray (TUS Guest)

Introducing CharWray.

Born in Kempton Park, Johannesburg, South Africa. Char was brought up in a musical family. Being surrounded by the musical instruments, sounds, and emotion from a very young age. She felt this is how she expresses through music and dance.
She started getting noticed in 2018. When then she decided to come out of her shell and express that part of her that itches to touch others in a miraculous way. To educate and take people on a journey with emotion, sound, and movement.
Char is a lover of many types of music, and adapts to the genres and she learns to understand the sounds and emotions that come with it. Her ears have matured after embracing the deeper & darker side of Johannesburg's underground dance music scene.
Char's passion carries her personality, her emotion, and some filthiness. Her sound is dynamic, and she plays Dark Disco, Minimal, Break-beat, Techno, Tribal, Melodic & Dub. Char has a side to her that loves slow melodic/tribal Down-tempo as well. 
Char says, "it's soulful food to the heart.  And always needed." CharWray has a deep love for Dark Disco that will never leave her firey soul. As Char states, "I love and live for the groove. "

Ep. 12 feat. Iamlixandru (TUS Guest)

More about the artist from the man himself:

From early on, I always felt that I can express my inner thoughts through music, and also that people understand me better when I explain myself through my mixes.

Music is something that I feel I have to do; not for the praise, not as a job, but as a way of communicating with others and making people feel better and coming together.

One of my talents is reading people. Why not reading a crowd and play something to make them feel good, enjoy themselves, all that with music being the binder for a better state of mind.
