AfrikaBurn 2017 at The 1+0NLY Camp and Play Lounge. Sweltering heat and cold beers to add to the chilled tunes that inspired this set. Having had a non stop week or playing on some of the biggest "stages" at AB it was just so amazing to take time to reflect with this set on the hectic week and its extraordinary highs playing music for all the amazing Burners.

AfrikaBurn 1+0NLY Friday Afternoon

The bliss of a serene sunrise set at The Watering Hole on the Friday morning took the desert musical experience to yet another amazing level.

Lobo has LIFE.... 

When I left AfrikaBurn last year I knew I wanted to play on that Spirit. I was not sure how I was going to do it but the intention was strong and if you are going to learn anything about The Burn, it is that intention is the key to achieving in that magical space. I asked to play and Michael Kennedy said yes! I still reel from that when I write this and I will be forever grateful and in awe for the opportunity given.

As Lobo announced his arrival at Hauptbahnhof Station the atmosphere was electric. People walking in from all directions, the expectation was huge! All I wanted to do was get it going but I was forced to wait and in turn to soak it all in as the crew were plugging in to the sound system at the station. We were going to be playing off a full surround sound setup that was almost certainly going to blow your heart clean into the stratosphere. Eventually what seemed like an eternity my gear was plugged in and I sit here still in disbelief as to if it really happened. 

One of the best experiences of my life. Truly a dream come true to feel the movement of everyone on that perfect Wednesday night.  saw on the desert dance tears, laughter and love.

There is something about the Tankwa that changes the music in some way or form I cannot describe. It sounds better, it feels more, it becomes magic. Is it because we are in place that predates the dinosaurs? This is an old place and whatever it is, it changes what we feel and how sound travels. Fuller, richer, more beautiful... 

My expectations ended up being meaningless because I was living the unimaginable. 
I loved playing alongside that Spirit that is Lobo. 
Thank you.

A birthday set for my friend Hayley. A discerning taste needed to be taken care of here so I went for some old school House and some Deep flavors of my own throw in. Hope you enjoy the set.

When we were young

Perfect summer afternoon on the beach DJ booth, with an amazing crowd and excellent vibes. Summer session perfection!

Veridium Live at Grand Café & Beach 21 Feb 2018 4pm-6pm

Veridium Live at Grand Café & Beach 28 March 2018

Bridging African vocals and essence with deep melodic tunes. A delicate balance between my African roots and the complex layers of music that electronica brings. This is a set for quiet reflection and the occasional urge to get down and boogie, just a little. 

A lot of these tracks I played this summer at Grand Africa on the beach here in South Africa. Perfect venue to reflect and take things all in.

Enjoy the complex Flavors of Sea, Sky and Dust....

When you prepare to go to a place like AfrikaBurn you dream in this music. A place where this set will sound a lot different when played in this ancient and magical place. Sound travels in different ways here. A place that is as old as time without any influences. A place that just is.

Afrikaburn 2019 - Sunset on a Tuesday of immense winds and turmoil. Lupis is Lobo's lover and I got to play alongside her. This set is a spontaneous B2B with one of my favorites, @Bellville. A playful exchange of tracks that eases one into the evening.

My good friend @wulfsohnmusic asked me to play at Javanesia and despite my hectic work schedule at @the-spirit-train I arrived to play at 2pm, I had to at least rock up right? I arrived to a empty dance floor and not a soul in sight. Rewind to that morning...

Tuesday had seen a massive wind storm in Tankwa Town with many people spending most of the morning hanging onto their tents and belongings. We had a moment where we honestly thought we would have to pack up and leave. It truly was a challenging morning with a lot of questions being asked about what we were doing and how!!!  This was the day that would define or break us. Fortunately it defined us and in many ways this set was not about the crowds or the praise but simply about the personal journey that is Afrikaburn. I loved playing this set, and the camp crew that came and shared their good vibes. Thanks to all of you who eventually arrived and filled the dancefloor after such a tumultuous morning <3 
Javanesia, a small camp with a huge heart!

Grand Set 10 October 2020

Veridium’s signature is radical versatility and music that is mercurial and maverick. His genres are primarily Techno, Deep House, Progressive House and Downtempo. 

But above all else, Veridium loves to tell a story. 
“Each set should be a unique musical experience,” he says. 
"Expect to drop in deep at the beginning and fall out at the end with the sense that time has escaped you." 

This journey began at AfrikaBurn 2016 and since then Veridium has played on the biggest stages at AfrikaBurn. In 2019 earning a residency on The Spirit Train and playing alongside Bellville, Dandara, Vander and Offroad. 

An invitation to play in Nuremburg, Germany with NASTY in January 2019 was a brilliant opportunity to showcase his unique sound to an international audience. 

Now firmly established within the Cape Town underground electronic music scene and playing at well-established venues, parties and festivals. These include Wonderland, Make- Believe, and Goldswindler. With a residency for the last three summers at Grand Africa this has allowed for Veridium to hone his downtempo skills.
