Hot off the heels of his Kanye-featured single <i>"U Mad"</i> XXL freshman Vic Mensa teased a long-speculated collaboration with none other than Skrillex at a recent show in Los Angeles. Titled <i>"No Chill,"</i> it sees Skrillex's production veering into more grand scale hip hop territory, with the type of blaring orchestral finishes that wouldn't feel out of place on <i>G.O.O.D Music's</i> catalogue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

the talent that is emerging from its towns and boroughs, and this little gem in
the Electronic music scene is no exception! Song-writer and producer, Koo,
who’s personal mentors include Will.I.Am and Dante Santiago, presents her single
‘Sail Away’, the first taken from forthcoming EP ‘Into The Night’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Spring, ‘Sail Away’ opens with a soft, melodic vocal on a bed of sweet keys and
guitar rift, before building in to a surprising drop of a bassy, electronic, dub-step
fused hook. The track breakdown makes it a perfect addition for any DJ set.
Topped with an enchanting visual that captures the soft, sweet beauty in a
contrast from the hard and passionate beat.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We caught up with one of Cape Town's most promising deep house visionaries at A Taste of Sonar Johannesburg this past weekend about the changing landscape of the local house scene and how he got Skrillex onto Gqom music.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">You’ve officially just played A Tase of Sonar here in Johannesburg, how does it feel having this renowned festival come to South Africa? </span></b></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cape Town is loving the idea that Sonar is finally coming to South Africa, but to now see guys like myself  who’ve been bubbling under getting called up to do Sonar in Joburg to represent the Cape Town sound, because that’s essentially what I was doing, playing stuff that I know is working in Cape Town, from the new stuff to the old stuff from the underground Cape Town scene. Joburg responded positively so it was quite cool to actually see that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">So have you been permanently based in Cape Town?</span></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Based in Cape Town, born in the Free State in a small town called Krooonstad. I’ve been based in Cape Town for just over ten or eleven years now, actually ten years because I got there in 2004. I studied there, finished my studies back in 2009. I was DJing in-between my studies and having fun, eventually I was like “cool, I got my degree now, what to do?” On the left I’ve got DJing, right I’ve got being a lawyer full time which would’ve driven me up the wall, so I went into DJing full time. Quite difficult to explain to the parents, but once they started seeing the work being put into it that’s when they warmed up to the idea that there might be a future in this thing. So yeah, ten years in Cape Town and still going strong.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Over that period you’ve obviously played in Johannesburg as well, and with reference to your experiences in the Cape Town scene, what are some of the unique nuances and differences you’ve picked up in each of those cities?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think one thing I’ve noticed is, I know this whole ethos about Joburg and Pretoria specifically as the capital of house music, which is very true, but if you look at it from a more “breakthrough” sound, Cape Town is really holding its own. What it’s allowing is that we’re not just coming through as DJs but also as producers that are making music that wouldn’t necessarily be played on radio and that’s where the distinction comes through, where in Joburg you still have that deep house sound with a vocal element, but what I’ve noticed is that it’s more targeted towards eventually landing on radio. With us, there’s hardly any vocals, big bass or big room sound. The more low frequencies the better, a more minimal sound and if you’re lucky enough to have vocals, cool, otherwise it’s mostly instrumentals, that’s what we’re doing. It’s more of a driving sound that’s cutting edge; it’s got elements from all kinds of music, you’ll hear jazz elements coming into it but still driving that four-to-the-floor sound. I wouldn’t want to say we’re more underground, I mean we all have underground scenes, both Joburg and Cape Town, where people are purists about it but from a musical approach we’re more on the cutting edge than up here where it’s more welcoming with lots of sing-along vocals, for us it’s more raw, dirty, with fat kicks and basslines and it seems to be getting a lot of Capetonians going.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">I can’t say many countries have our particular situation where kids in high school and right down to primary school are listening to house music and because of that early exposure do you feel that it’s time for the music to be maturing along with them? If I can take an example of artists in the UK like Actress and Burial that grew up on the music and club cultures of their time and eventually went on to explore the “photo negative” or inverse of that music in their own productions. Are we missing an equivalent in South Africa where most house music, as you’ve pointed out, is geared towards radio play, is it time for a critique of South African house music? Do we need artists to start taking an introspective look at our musical identity and club culture?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think that time has arrived. The overall house scene nationally is still quite new and it stems from other inspirations like the Chicago house sound, UK garage and disco so it comes from different corners and it took a while for the sound here to find its identity but you’ve been getting guys that have been pioneering the new South African house sound and because of that I feel that the time will allow for that “b-side” to come out. With a lot of the releases and emerging artists lately I feel that time has arrived, it’s just a question of whether it can sustain itself. We’re still seeking that identity and recognition from the rest of the world. We’ve got guys like Culoe De Song, Black Coffee, Jullian Gomes and I could even go as far as Goldfish and GoodLuck who are touring a lot internationally, representing the South African sound.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’ll make an example about this, in 2008 I attended the Red Bull Music Academy with Culoe De Song, we were the two South African participants to have been selected out of thousands of applicants. The sound that he was making at the time was considered afro/tribal which in its own it was sort of the “rebel” sound and now you’re getting to a point where in 2014 every second song you hear on the radio has a tribal feel to it. So you can imagine that different genres with the music are emerging in their own right and you have catalysts that are like “I’m gonna own this, make it my own.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What i’ve noticed in Cape Town in the electronic/techno scene a lot of guys are pushing the deep tech sound but at the end of the day you’re getting guys who are flipping it so that it’s still considered deep tech but it’s totally different. Some guys that I can think of are Ruegroove, who was a vocalist for Crazy White Boy, who's now doing his own thing and Floyd Lavine who I've admired for a couple of years now. So now it's just a case of getting international recognition rather local recognition because and I can already go to a township in Joburg and play the same set in a club like Era in Cape Town. So we’re still getting there, we just need an international platform to show the world what we’re doing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">I’ve noticed there has been a lot of interest from foreign bloggers in the South African scene but there’s always this barrier in terms of distribution and information. If I can take an example of the emerging Gqom scene in Durban, there is a definite interest but it’s hard to penetrate that market when most songs aren’t tagged  or just have cellphone numbers and BBM pins as song titles. It’s like we’re missing a vital “middle” element between the international market and the kids making these songs.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s actually interesting that you mention it because a couple weeks ago we were speaking about this at a workshop in Cape Town with Heidi and Culoe De Song and the question was posed of whether the Gqom sound is music that can be accepted as the South African sound and honestly I’m a big fan of the music. I don’t necessarily understand it but I believe the kids, and honestly it is kids making the music, and whatever it is that’s inspiring this explosive sound, because that’s exactly what it is, you have a string, drums and these explosive sixteen-count moments with snares layered with cymbals and it really gets in your face and for some reason it just has all this energy and to be honest, we need it, we need it to grow the South African scene. We’ve got the deep house scene, it’s maturing, we’ve got the electronic and hip hop scenes. So we need these sub genres to really start projecting the South African scene but in order for others to take it seriously, these kids need to take it seriously as well, the way they’re making it and whether it’s mastered and sounds good. I’ve collected some of those tracks myself and the most I've collected in terms of quality is 128kbps, I’ve never come across a 320kbps track. If they can start taking this seriously I can guarantee that in two years it will be playing everywhere and massive guys will be playing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For example, I played some of the music at Glastonbury festival recently and I did a back-to-back set with Skrillex and my set was comprised of Gqom music and immediately he was like “dude, I need your flash drive because this music is phenomenal, I’ve never heard anything like this, it’s getting everybody going.” I told him this was Gqom music, he couldn’t pronounce it but he was like “You guys, don’t sleep on this.” So for someone like him to already identify that, it shows we need to start taking it seriously. Once we get all the structures in place, It’s just a matter of time. It will blow up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Another point I wanted to speak about was that you put together one of the <i>Deep House Chronicles</i> compilations and from my experience in my school days those compilations, pirated and shared amongst everyone at school, were always our main source of house music. The youth here hasn’t fully adopted the power of the internet to inform their music knowledge beyond social networking and casual browsing. Are we not taking charge of our musical palette yet? Is there still too much reliance on DJs as the suppliers of house music in South Africa? For example Kaskade’s <i>It’s You It’s Me</i> off the <i>Soul Candi Sessions 4</i> compilation is still so timeless amongst us, yet why do we stop there? Why aren’t we taking the initiative to dig deeper into these artists ourselves if we like their music? </span></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I’ve noticed is that it’s just a lack of interest. The way this information was filtered through to our generation , and I’m talking about when house music here was still emerging through vinyl and CDs and way back to the <i>Fresh House Flava 1</i> compilation when it just came out, the way that music was introduced was never as “I’m listening to a Theo Parrish song” it was “I’m listening to a DJ Fresh song” and once DJ Fresh stops making those compilations we’ll lose interest. The psyche has been aligned in that manner. But you have the new age kids who are getting interested in it where they’re asking about who these artists are, where their sound comes from and why it’s blowing up in Germany. It’s just a matter of being patient with everybody else because that’s how we’ve been structured to think. The introduction of house music in South Africa was through DJs and not necessarily through producers and that’s where the interest fell off, the DJs were the pioneers. If you had a Kerri Chandler that was born in Pretoria then it would’ve been a different story, back then when he was making classics, even if Frankie Knuckles was from here we’d have a different story right now. Because the DJ was the pioneer, we’d follow the DJ and not the producers. That’s why through my compilations it was more of my introduction into the scene stating “this is who I am” but also letting listeners know that now that they have discovered who this person is, don’t necessarily focus on him but focus on the structure and sound I’m trying to portray. That’s why I’m mostly just dropping EPs right now, now that they’ve discovered the artist, now that they’ve discovered the individual outside of the Soul Candi compilations. Now it’s just about patience and the right form of communication.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Europe’s largest and most exciting snow and music festival, Snowbombing, has announced its first wave of outstanding dance acts for 2015. World-renowned quartet Rudimental (live), Dubstep extraordinaire Skrillex, the legendary Basement Jaxx, House legend Carl Cox and the globally renowned Fatboy Slim have all been confirmed for 2015.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now in its outstanding sixteenth year, Snowbombing will take place on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_276821890" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">6th</span></span>-<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_276821891" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">11th April 2015</span></span> in the chocolate box town of Mayrhofen, Austria. The first wave of brilliant acts are just the tip of the iceberg and a taster of what to expect next year, as Snowbombing is yet to reveal some more exciting new headliners along with some extra special surprises including some fantastic new venues.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the world’s hottest dance acts Rudimental will be gracing the stage for a third year. Since their debut in 2013, they have played in the laser engulfed alpine forest and sent the arctic disco, an igloo made entirely from snow into meltdown. This year they are lined-up to return to the forest for a performance like no other.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rudimental said: “Really hyped to be at Snowbombing 2015, it’s always a sick time! The crowd and the location is great. Wicked vibes!!”</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Joining them will be groundbreaking music producer and DJ, Skrillex, whose album ‘Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites’ identified him as a forced to be reckoned with. Skrillex’s remix of “Cinema” by Benny Bennassi taken from that album, launched his global success and made him one of the most respected electronic music acts in the UK.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Snowbombing favorite, House legend Carl Cox, is making a welcomed return to Mayrhofen. Having hailed Snowbombing as his “highlight of 2013”, he couldn’t wait to return in 2014 and now he just can’t keep away. He brings with him the best House beats from the past twenty years, as he plays out a DJ set that will remind revelers why Carl Cox is one of the leading and long-standing House DJ’s. His Funk & Soul set at the Arctic Disco was one of the most memorable moments of 2014 and next year’s set in the Racket Club looks set raise the bar even higher. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The legend that is Fatboy Slim will also make a triumphant return for his third year at Snowbombing, having previously awoken the sleepy Alpine town twice before with his eclectic mix of instantly recognizable beats. With iconic songs such as “Right Here, Right Now” and “ Praise You” under his belt, this set in the mighty Racket Club, will definitely not disappoint.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Meanwhile dymanic duo Basement Jaxx will make their debut with an exciting live set that is set to make Snowbombing history. With seven studio albums including dancefloor smashers “Romeo” and “Where’s Your Head At?” to pick from, this feel good set is not to be missed!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The electronic music offering doesn’t end there, Drum ‘n’ Bass duo Sigma have also been added to the line-up, following their recent chart topping success with their remix of “Nobody To Love.” Gorgon City and Wilkinson also join the line-up.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thet will be joined by Innervisons favourites Âme, the mighty Anja Schneider, Henrik Schwax and Modeselektor.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">David Rodigan MBE a Snowbombing favourite, has been added to the bill and will be joined by the man with the huge musical appetite, Eats Everything.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Joining these acts are: Joining these acts are: Joining these acts are: A-Skills, Benjamin Damage, Breakage, Cadenza, Cassy, Cristoph, Damian Lazarus, Danny Byrd, Doorly, Dubfire, Etherwood, Ewan Pearson, Friction, Hannah Wants, Heidi, Huxley, Jack Beats, James Zabiela, Jennifer Cardini, Konstantini Sibold, Krafty Kuts, Loadstar, London Elektricity, Marc Roberts, Mefjus, Metrik, North Base, Nu:Tone, Oliver Dollar, Re.

</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With mountains as a perimeter fence, Snowbombing provides some of the most awe inspiring festival venues in the world; including a sky-high igloo perfect for a snowy rave, 6,000 feet above sea level, enchanted forest clearings complete with lasers, cosy alpine lodges and medieval barns posing as Austria’s answer to Fabric. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So if dancing the night away to a picturesque alpine backdrop, listening to some of the world’s most groundbreaking music acts, relaxing in a luxury spa or just skiing on the fresh white snow appeals, then join Snowbombing for what’s set to be the most incredible year yet. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;" trbidi="on">
<div class="MsoNormal"><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">Not only is she a singer and songwriter, but she is also a DJ, producer and a mum. Heavily influenced by her fans, Tasha Baxter is no stranger to the electronic world of music. She is one of South Africa’s most forward-thinking dance, trip-hop and drum ‘n’ bass innovators.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">Over the past few years, she has developed a reputation as a multi-talented artist who has lent her songwriting and vocal skills to many high-profile projects, albums and songs. She has made a substantial impact on the Cape Town and Johannesburg music scenes, working with the likes of drum ‘n’ bass producers Counterstrike, various house producers, and featuring on Soulsista’s album.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">Her debut album, Colour of Me, was released in 2007 and was produced by Dutch trio Noisia. She has also been featured on a number of Feed Me’s tracks, which were signed to Mau5trap, the official label of electronic dance music artist deadmau5.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">Over and above this, she has worked with Spor, Chasing Shadows, Indivision, The Upbeats, Playma, Brookes Brothers, DJ Friction, Counterstrike and many more. Her music has toured internationally and she has played alongside industry greats.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">It's no wonder Tasha Baxter is admired and looked up to by so many. We think it's easy to see why she is our featured female artist for this week. She is proof that women are strong enough to overcome anything; all it takes is hard work and dedication.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Lato;"><span>

</span><br />
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Lato;"><b>Hello, Tasha a very warm welcome to you from the Think In Electronic team. Finally, we get the chance to chat with you. Thank you for giving us this opportunity</b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;">How are you doing and what’s your favorite
drink for winter? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">I'm doing okay thanks! Coffee, always coffee :)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" dir="ltr" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;">Tell us a little more about who you are and
how you found yourself in music?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Lato;">Well first and foremost I'm a mother of
two, my daughter Gina is 13 and my son Luca is 12, born in Cape Town, left
there at 21 to pursue a life in Joburg, I love cats and animals in general, my
mother was born in Egypt and I have always been involved in music really...I
had my first band at 12 with Lance from flypaper Jet and Paul from Lark, we
were called Dry Water :)</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;">How easy was it for you to break into a
male-dominated field. Did you feel you had to work much harder to gain any form
of recognition because of being a female?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">To be honest, I don't think I have broken into it, I don't really get booked much as I don't really push myself as a DJ, it kind of happened by chance. It was never really my first love. It was a secondary option after performing live with a band. But it's definitely less labour intensive and way easier, you don't have to rely on 4 other band members, book rehearsal space, rehearse, etc. It seemed like a natural progression as I was working with most of the artists I was playing and its super fun. I don't see it being male-dominated as much as it is ego dominated.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;">Do you feel electronic music as a genre
generally values the talents of most women artists beyond merely lending their vocals?</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">Yeah, I do, I can say that for myself, I
don't just merely lend my vocals, when writing lyrics I am often involved in
more than just the vocal process, sometimes structurally and musically, to
choosing the title. But for me, I do tend to try to do more than just sing on a
track. I try to speak to whoever is listening and edify that person in whatever
way I can. I find it hard to sing about menial stuff. I wish I could...it might
make me more money :)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;">Having travelled all over the world and having been exposed to the different music scenes in various countries, how does the local electronic scene, here in South Africa, measure up and what makes ours unique?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">Haha! Travel all over the world, I
wish...my music has, but not I! I have performed with </span><b style="font-family: Lato;">Feed Me </b><span style="font-family: Lato;">and </span><b style="font-family: Lato;">Skrillex </b><span style="font-family: Lato;">at
Bestival in the UK, Holland, where I went to record with </span><b style="font-family: Lato;">Noisia </b><span style="font-family: Lato;">and Paris and I
have been to Norway. That's about it. But from what I have seen, which is not
much as I have been knee-deep in my kids, I think we have a healthy scene and
its growing. People might have some blinkers to take off, but the only way
that's gonna happen is through the promoters and possibly mainstream radio.
They only know what they are being fed. So you can't blame them. But thank God
for the internet. It sure as hell helped me!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;">You have worked with many international big
names Nosia, Feed Me, etc. Did you find it easier to break out internationally
especially in a period where electronic music is becoming very much a global
phenomenon? Are our local talents seizing the opportunity?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">Well, I'm not sure, the thing is the
relationships with Spor/Feed Me was made well over 7 years ago as was the one
with Noisia. And when my album was released it seems the local market wasn't
quite ready for it at the time when we could have perhaps pioneered a sound
straight out of SA with topnotch European producers. I think we have always
been concerned about following suit. Or the majors have at least. We have all
we need here, we sure as hell have the talent, we just don't have the platform
half the time. It's frustrating. All these bass genres that are now huge, were
about to explode a couple years back and I know guys here that have been doing
it for years, only now are they getting the recognition they deserve. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;">Are there any women in the industry you look up to or respect? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">Well</span><span style="font-family: Lato;">, </span><a href="http://www.thinkinelectronic.com/2014/09/spreading-emika-love.html" style="font-family: Lato;" target="_blank">Emika</a><span style="font-family: Lato;"> is great! Imogen
is amazing. Bjork. All of these woman pioneers, produce, push the envelope. Beth
Gibbons obviously!</span></div></div>

<span style="font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;">Do you think there's equality between men
and women in the music industry?</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">I do, I just don't know if there are enough
women! But there is always that thing, "yoh, so good, AND she's a
chick!" Haha...:/ </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;">What has been the biggest challenge that you have faced in the industry and how did you overcome it to get to where you are today? Any lessons learned you can share? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="font-family: Lato;">I</b><span style="font-family: Lato;"> think I'm facing that challenge now, where basically for the last two years I
have been admitted to Tara hospital twice for 6 months at a time for Bipolar 1.
I lost everything, my house, kids moved in with their dad, my boyfriend, my
studio in Juta street, my career. Totally off the map for two years trying to
build myself up again. Had two severe manic episodes and people saw me in some
really serious states, I had to apologize to people and explain what happened.
Ask forgiveness and forgive myself. Pick myself up and carry on. Knowing that I
can only move forward and write powerful music from this!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Lato;">How important is women empowerment not only in music but also in every career?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Lato;">Hugely, I don't think there is much of it,
but I'm not much of a socialite and people can take that the wrong way.
Empowerment in general and respect is vital. Knowing that everyone has their
own shit they are dealing with, but that music is a beautiful language that
bridges all gaps and is the glue that holds us together it is what keeps me
going!</span></div>
