TUMZOISM

...The era of vinyl left us like a hoe leaving a kid at an orphanage. CDs came in hard and heavy, new jock tech upgrades were rapid like BMW facelifts. Kwaito slowed down, HipHop seemed to have taken a break and let International Hiphop take over - in all that, there was House Music. Local producers started releasing better projects that saw a decrease with compilations. This is the Club era...

...The birth of commercial hiphop in SA came at a rapid pace and very few Djs were confident enough to play hiphop at parties...this is the story of a few memories...

...at every single event back then, some slower jams(RnB,Pop,Soul, NeoSoul, Jazz etc) were played early in order for people to be able to settle in and get comfortable. Some of those jams added to my interest in mixing multiple genres. this is the story of a few memories...

...more and more Kwaito came out in SA. Different kinds of artists came with hits and more styles of the street life inspired music. This is some of the memories.

...as House music evolved, more and more styles of the genre came and got us dancing all night at events...these are some of the jams the filled my vinyl bag in my early days of Djying...

'92-'98-2000 were years where Hiphop crossed boarders and took over the world, with some of the most iconic artists and pioneers of what today is a full commercial industry...these are some of the jams that caught my ear...

...HipHop was born in the late 70s and by 90s had made a huge mark within the music industry. These are some memories from my childhood...

...some 90s to early 2K House tunes that took over SA... 

...While House music was taking over the waves and dance floors. Locally, a new genre was born with a fusion of the sounds from previous dance genres. A fresh new South African, banging, street and vibey genre - we call it KWAITO...

What was Disco was then evolved into House music. First called Garage music, influenced by the USA scenes and the UK called it speed garage because of their uptempo style. Locally it was common at street bashes and used for routine dances by amaPantsula...

what got me to be a DJ...Some of the 90s hot jams mashes together in a tasty way. "I am an alien and a stranger among you."
