Bittereinder's video for "Die Dinkdansmasjien" was released this morning. It's a wonderful live video, which kind of looks like it has an Instagram filter on it. Here's what the electronic rap trio had to say about it:

Bittereinder lovingly dedicate this video to TUKS FM 107.2, Pretoria's finest radio station, who made this song #1 in February 2013 before anybody else even had it on a chart. All 3 of us grew up listening to TUKS FM: respect to Elvis Hitler, The Preacher, Stav, Jaco Smit amongst many others. Pretoria in ons hart.

No, Bittereinder in ons hart.

Jet Black Camaro have finally released another music video, and this time it's for "Pass it on John". It's a rather odd one that follows the day of car mechanics. Take a look!

Tony Bennet and Lady Gaga do "The Lady Is a Tramp"

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga have done a rendition of "The Lady Is a Tramp", a popular show tune from musical Babes in Arms. I love that it reveals another side to Gaga and showcases her beautiful voice that doesn't always come through in her pop-laden songs.

Haezer ft. Tumi Molekane- Troublemaker (Official video)

Hundreds of sweaty electroheads crammed into Arcade Empire for the release of Haezer's 'Troublemaker' video on Friday night. Tumi Molekane lends his distinctive rhymes to the track, which tells the story of four badass kids from Khayelitsha with superpowers that they use to wreak havoc in the township. Good news is that the video was officially released today for everyone to see. Have a look, it really is impeccable.

Beast release debut album


Beast, the self-described "four-nippled rock and roll aberration" released their debut album, Smoke Swig Swear today. I've been looking forward to this baby since the band's electrifying set at Oppikoppi last year. For all you naysayers that said two basses is a simply crazy idea, this should prove you wrong.

Moving House- Tongue in Cheek (Official Video)


Andre Gideon Montgomery Pienaar (Ashtray Electric) and Rob Davidson (ex Zebra & Giraffe and Blind Watchmen) of Moving House released both their album and their debut music video today. 

According to the band's Facebook page, "The two overcame the barriers of staying on opposite sides of the country by constantly having to buy more bandwidth to fuel the process of writing over the internet, and by using every open minute on tour to construct and record all the parts."
