Fans of the pioneering African Dope sound get set to feast their ears on the latest subsonic riddims as crafted by some of the Mother City's finest groove cultivators - think high-ranking hip-hop, deeply delicious dubs(tep) and dirty dancehall, wilful wobble, sexy swing jazz and fabulous funk, cute cutz and itchy scratches, and don'tcha just know it - even a sprinkling of finely filthy techlektro!
Back by popular demand, African Dope Records presents a fresh harvest of fine sounds from the Cape of Good Dope. All of it 100% organic, home grown in Cape Town with love ‘n respec for the world's aural pleasure.
Dope brings the goodness to Gauteng!
The Cape Town massive have seen ‘n been part of African Dope all for over a decade, so now it's truly time for Gauteng to step up! Inner city fans will get the rare opportunity to witness their favourite Dope grooves created live and in effect right before their very eyes, ears and dancing feet.
Catch African Dope artists performing all livein Gauteng for two shows only on 27 and 28 February, 2009.
Fletcher - the original dopester, originator of Krushed and Sorted. Fletcher will be dropping brand new tracks off the Cape of Good Dope 2 as well as performing a fresh set of original tracks with the infamous Cape city gangsta Neon Don.
Neon Don - rappers' delight vannie Kaap af, ex-Moodphase5ive front lyricist, dropping right rhymes over Fletcher's original beats.
Mix n' Blend - freshest new trio of beat freaks who rocked the socks off Oppikoppi last year, they play live off samplers and Korg Kaos pads - expect the glitch, the wobble, the dubstep, the breaks - and the WOWowowow.
Farrell Adams - frontman and vocalist from legendary SA bands Nine and then Golliwog - the funk-soul brother drops lyrics with Mix n' Blend.
Dank - head bob-wobble bass-glitch-nuSwing-eclectic-down-tempo and hip-hop … quite frankly, like no other.
P.H.Fat - mental asylum escapees on the run who people are willing to pay good money to see. With some of the ffffphattest production in the Western Cape, if not Southern Africa, and some crazy voodoo rhymes - these three chaps make music worth living.
