When Fu Dog isn’t spooning his cat, he’s cooking up an experimental blend of electronic music in his home studio.

Rooted in house and jazz, he believes true creativity surprises even the artist, prompting him to write music with an open mind, often welcoming mistakes that inspire an entire track or EP.

When behind the decks, Fu plays honestly and intuitively, mixing by energy rather than BPM. You can expect anything from the above mentioned house and jazz, to dub or breaks or acid-infused techno - perhaps even some Icelandic flute music. It really depends where he's playing.

OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.

Voted in the Top 25 Artists under 25 in South Africa by MyCityByNight, SecondNature is a project started by music producers Sebastian Kühne & Emil de Beer. The SecondNature sound is accustomed to a combination of aggressive basslines and driving drum work in their genre of club focused, Avant-Garde Electronic music. 

The new kids on the block have enveloped themselves in underground electronic music production and have perfected their craft as a high-energy act. The true focus is to incorporate their personalities in their work, ranging from content to music. 

Constantly exploring, curating and creating new sounds comes naturally to SecondNature. In fact, positioning themselves right in the middle of the more Avant-Garde soundscapes could be almost habitual. 

Electronic music for the Avant Garde.

Locked Illusions is a Cape Town based duo that started in 2015, with two best friends brought together by music. Both taking an interest into music from a young age, the duo’s taste has been moulded by two wildly different backgrounds into a complex array of sounds. Siphumle, better known as Sip brings an African approach to the duo finding an interest in genres such as Afro-Tech, Afro-Beats and Techno. Lucas brings to the table a complex mix of House, Minimal and Acid Tech with their first original track being an acid track, Sytrus, released in early 2020. Together the duo brings a new kind of Electronic music that sets the energy of the audience on a cloud-nine journey, with intimate vibrations and consistent grooving. Locked Illusions’s will be sure to keep high pressure on the dance floor at all times.
