It took us quite a long time to get the Fogshow on the closer and man was it worth the wait! The further down the festival road we go the more we realise that playing the last set on a Saturday requires artists at their best, with a touch of finesse. People are there to party, and it's the best when there's zest for the zets

For the third edition of Wolfcast, Richard sits down with Secret Garden Party founder and eccentric DJ extraordinaire Freddie Fellowes. The half hour long chat covers a lot of history, as does the five hour set from Fellowes that follows. Recorded live from the Sunday night boma at Lilo River Flow on 16/01/2022. Enjoy x

There are debuts and then there are debuts... and then there are debuts that quite literally bring the house down, and then make our inboxes burn to the ground afterwards with public demand for sharing! That's all we can really say about this mix, and well f***ing done to you Roz. That's how you make a splash on our river x

Roz - Lilo River Flow 2022

The undisputed queen of the Joburg deep house scene making her first splash on the river. A DJ at the height of her game.

DJ Buhle - Islands On The River 2021

Some of the most euphoric moments ever created by a musician on the river. The hybrid live/DJ set from Zakes with his instantly recognisable sound sent the throngs into mania!

Zakes Bantwini - Islands On The River 2021

Two of the Weekender's favourite denizens of all things deep and dubby in a four hour back to back masterclass on Sunday morning. Auditory excellence guaranteed!

Cody Losper & Irshaad Samai - Islands on the River 2021

The most experienced river DJ of them all taking the weekend home at Islands on the River in late October 2021. Adept at playing pretty much any slot, it's when Bruno sees us home that his ability to make us smile really shines

Bruno Morphet - Islands on the River 2021

A spin around the continuum with the king of Multi Culti. A masterclass in the philosophy of DJing, and a window into the fringe-lunatic commitment it takes to be truly one of the stand out greats in an ever diluting electronic music landscape.

And despite the un-edited hullabaloo at the end of the interview, the mix is in fact the exact set from that quarry. Unedited.

Couples who slay together stay together! The long awaited poolside recording of Contact High at Power Flower Picnic last year is finally here, and it's been well worth the wait. Sink your ears into this spring poolside jam session from a standout Wolfkop Debut

Contact High - Power Flower Picnic 2022

The funk-fuelled shenanigans of Kendal's debut set with us at Wolfkop in all their mountain-top glory! Listen carefully kids, as this is the kind of first impression that results in repeat bookings. Already a firm Wolfkop favourite.

Housewife - Power Flower Picnic 2022

Ahead of the 2023 edition of Islands on the River, Richard sits down with two esteemed guests from last year's landmark event: Nick Warren and Shane Johnson. An easy going conversation unfurls as does the story behind two of the most prolific DJs and producers to visit South African shores in recent times. 

This is followed by Nick's recording form the river. Shane's back to back with Charles Webster will follow soon.

Enjoy!

Taking up the midnight slot on a Saturday night, resident DJ and long-time collaborator @Bruno-Morphet delivers what is yet another masterclass in how to rile up the river.

Some Sunny Sunday that was 🌞
After what was a knock out weekend, it was always going to take something extraordinary to close out Islands 2022 - and who would ever have imagined that these two titans of deep house would grace our stage? With more hits between them than a Tyson fight, these two went toe-to-toe for four hours and conjured such mayhem, that had their been a roof it surely would have come off the place. Shane Johnson & Charles Webster - live from the river last year x

Charles Webster & Fish Go Deep - Islands on the River 2022

We love a good debut, a few have been more fierce than Stashe

Taking the stage like it had belonged to her all along, we were treated to one of those rare things: an early weekend set that gives you just the right amount of give and take. You can get lost in it, but not so lost you forget that it's Friday and the whole weekend sprawls out in front of you.

Thank you @sarah-van-niekerk, and enjoy!

Stashe - Islands On The River 2022

Another blinding debut from October 2022, this time in the form of a long overdue collaboration between us and Cornelius SA. One of South Africa's greatest electronic music exports, putting this man on before the legendary Nick Warren resulted in alchemy that made is one of the best sunset sessions we have ever had on the river. Man. In. The. Pocket. Right here. Enjoy!

Cornelius SA - Islands On The River 2022

The long overdue debut of the legendary Dean Fuel on the river, and it didn't disappoint. And the securing of Nick Warren for the Saturday night ensured that the perfect opportunity to debut the Dean had finally arrived.

With just under a month until we unleash the final Lilo Flow beast, we thought what better time than now to treat you all to a three hour masterclasss from Mr Flugel himself. Recorded on the second weekend, this is an invaluable insight into why it is that we do what we do. One of the world's greats, on unstoppable form in the heat and hedonism of a Cape Town summer on the river.

Roman Flügel - Lilo River Flow 2023

An all too rare recording of co-founder and owner Richard Marshall kicking off the after party in the Boma on Sunday night. 

This is very much an exhibition of a DJ in his happy place, in his happy time (the heavy lifting is over). Seamlessly weaving between deep house, disco and white label obscurities, the set is also a clear homage to the music of the last ten years. 

All of the headliners who played this ten year celebration got a tip of the hat too -  the set features music from Frivolous, The Drifter, Charles Webster and Freudenthal - all of whom were on the dance floor. 

It was a night to remember that ended in an emotional and extended round of applause at the end. If you weren't there, then here we are.

The man who travels the world hunting the world's rarest music played his Wolfkop debut you like he had been there since the beginning. Which he kind of has.

Never before has an act suited a theme the way the Fogshow suited The Hitchhikers Guide to Matjiesfontein. Tinfoil hat anyone? Three hours of the boys at their best.

No one got the river quite as right as The Drifter, the aptly named artist took no prisoners and took us on possibly our most epic odyssey to date. Thank you Mark!

Recorded live on 21 September 2019. Citrusdal, SA

The Drifter - Power Flower Picnic 2019

The Johannesburg debutant we had been waiting for, the vast and spacious sounds of Avi Subban on a Sunday session at Wolfkop was all sorts of musical lovemaking.

Avi Subban - Power Flower Picnic 2019

Sunday afternoon sublime by one of South Africa's most highly regarded selectors.

Cody Losper - Power Flower Picnic 2019

Our secret Sunday afternoon guests came in the flattering form of these two Ibiza residents, who had all the right things for seeing out a weekend as epic as this one was.
