The Baascast

'Neandertal' was SNG se eerste album in 1995. 'Hoe Gaan Dit?' is Arno Carstens se nuutste vrystelling in 2024. Hoeveel het verander, hoeveel het gebly? Hoeveel sekondes vat dit om die Onse Vader op te sê? Hoeveel dignity verloor 'n podcast host as Arno Carstens hom forseer om te rap? Antwoorde op al die vrae en nog meer in hierdie Baascast. Lees iemand ooit hierdie beskrywings?...

Take a moment and just appreciate the honesty and - I dare say - pureness with which Rumkat! approaches their music, the industry and the future. It's a worthy reminder to focus on making music that makes YOU happy, and doing so in a manner that shares that joy with your audience. -------------- Stalk Baas de Beer properly: ⁠⁠ https://linktr.ee/ChristoDeBeer Guests: https://linktr.ee/rumkatban...

Albert Frost is celebrating 30 years in the SA music industry, and I caught up with him before a recent show at Café Barcelona to see what we can learn from him. Spoiler: The answer is a LOT.

I talk to the music making machine that fills the void next to Karen Zoid, AND get to see his very own, custom made pedal in action! Enjoy my chat with Henry Steel Jr about his role in the Zoid-ensemble, making "it" as a full time guitarist, and his takes on the SA pedal-making industry. Stick around till the end, where you can hear/see the STOKER Pedal in action! -------------- Stalk Ba...

Karen Zoid het gegaan van Drama Dame tot Moderne Musikale Matriarg... en ons gesels daaroor op die Baascast. Ons chat verder oor haar nuwe orkes, goeie mans, persoonlike groei, terapie, komedie en geld-in-musiek. Ek speel ook 'n baie awkward parodie van 'Toe Vind Ek Jou' vir haar. Geniet dit! (En dankie dat jy die storie deel met jou vriende) KOOP 'n hemp soos myne: http://www.dolo...

Ok, let's have that chat about God and face tats... or I called a giant a f_ckboi and lived to tell the tale or Monstrously muscular men talk about manly things, mental health &brotherhood. Whichever clickbaity title will get you to check out this episode of the Baascast is fine by me, as long as you get to listen in on the chat I had with Simon Phillips and Jované "AK" Scholtz,...

Oh my, what an honour to talk to one of the young musicians that are actively playing a role in shaping the future of Music in Southern Africa! Jean-Claude Myburgh is much more than just a musicale gifted mop of ginger hair... he is a passionate driver of the scene, pushing limits and breaking boundaries where he goes! We talk about his extraordinary journey so far, as well as dive into sponsorshi...

BRAND NEW THINGS! It's the Baascast Briefs... basically a shorter-form podcast of about 10-15min, which I will intermittently feature between the main Baascast episodes. We kick it off with Gideon Swart, owner of the Wild Cactus Café - a spot where I record many of my podcast episodes. This man serves more than coffee, he serves love to a community, and especially to those rescued from human t...

NGL, we rate toes from best to worst in this episode. I mean sure, we talk about art and loss and music and delve deep into journaling... but most people will probably refer to this podcast as "that one where Kyle rated toes and punted his new book"Kyle Ludwick is the man behind the Kyle High Club, which is so much more than just a (now former) podcast (on which I was a guest a while ago...

How can a band avoid a shitty producer? Is there still a place in the world for proper studios? How do leaves win a SAMA, and how do you record The Universe... with a choir? I chat to Ludwig Bouwer, owner of One Big Room Studios. Whether you're an establishing muso, aspiring producer, experienced entertainer or a person that's passionate about (live) music... this one's for you! ------...

We talk music, management, marketing, mishaps, mayhem and East Rand etiquette. Steve East is a muso, entertainment manager, booking agent, business owner and overall nice guy, with a heart beating passionately for the South African music scene.

When I met Lungelo Moyo in 2016, I knew he was special. Fast forward to 2023, and trust me when I say - I had no idea just HOW special he would he turn out to be. Join me as I chat to this legend in the making - from falling asleep with a soldering iron to singing songs about how we treat women... and calling it We Fall Asleep. Thanks for listening/watching! -------------- Stalk Baas de Beer prope...

UITEINDELIK kon ek 'n uur van vriend Tian Nienaber se tyd kry vir 'n Baascast episode! Ons chat oor sy onlangse musikale rigting-aanpassing na Afrikaans toe, asook sy ervaring met verslawing - en die dinge wat daarmee gepaard gaan. -------------- Stalk Baas de Beer properly: ⁠⁠www.facebook⁠.com/baasdebeer⁠ www.instagram⁠.com/baasdebeer⁠ www.tiktok⁠.com/@christobaasdebeer www.threads.com/ba...

A few weeks ago our country lost a legend, Kobus de Kock Jnr. In dealing with this, Basson Laubscher shared a brutally honest post about the reality of being a rocker in South Africa. In this week's Baascast, I talk to the OG Zinkplaat axe slinger about his post, and how this reality impacts not only him and his SAMA-nominated band (Basson Laubscher and the Violent Free Peace), but the entire...

Ever since the first time I booked him, I was convinced that DJ Izzit was destined for greatness. This was made even more evident in this chat we had, just in the way he approaches life, and the mindset he has about his DJ career. Enjoy the bushveld-vibe with us as we parked under a tree in Hoedspruit. Remember, new Baascast episode every Monday. Roughly. Click things and share stuff. ------------...

Werner Olckers has been more instrumental in the shaping of music and entertainment in Pretoria (and in fact South Africa), than you might realise. Whether he came into your peripheral as the gentle giant in Wrestlerish, or any of his many other musical masterpieces like SHU and Art Snakes... or by buying some tekkies from him, this Baascast episode is a must for you! For music business and Afrika...

I've had the most amazing opportunity to talk to Andrew Jed about his musical journey, especially since hitting SA shores in 2013. We ask some real questions, like "how can SA musos get into the States". I also might have accidently insulted him, his music and his entire heritage. Sorry for that. Remember, new Baascast episode every Monday. Click things and share stuff. -------------...

I like Floris Groenewald. He is an inspiring, multi talented individual... He also deserves to find love. Join us on an adventure through music, movies, and the life lessons learnt by this interesting introverted entertainer. Then, go on a date with him. Possibly. (If you're keen to partake in the date experiment, send Baas de Beer a DM on any platform) -------------- Stalk Baas de Beer proper...

Comedy, music, and the current state of our nation... Baas de Beer and King Nqoba dives into a dangerously deep discussion involving Park Acoustics, Politics, Poverty, People and Other Words Beginning With P. -------------- Stalk Baas de Beer properly: ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠ ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ Guest links: Nqoba Ngcobo Facebook @_KingNqoba on Instagram -------------- Camera gea...

Usually I would have a nice little intro, a catchy phrase or quirky comment to shape a segue into a creative introduction of my guest. With Pedro it is different. How does one even introduce him without feeling like you're missing something important. I suppose you'll just have to listen/watch, and get to know Pedro Barbosa a bit better for yourself. Then you can do the introduction. It wa...

BraaiBoy and I take the plunge and discuss money, success, failure, and the future. We also gloriously cock up our FRIENDS-fan credentials. South Africa's favourite spandex-clad, braaing super hero gets deep and personal... In fact, I can guarantee you have never seen him like this in any other interview! -------------- Stalk Baas de Beer properly: ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Twit...

Siphe knocks it out of the park with an exclusive media-first, and Wim shares his emotional take on emotions. Also, ridiculous stories, insane moments, and a blatant hint at an endorsement deal made in heaven. Or Cape Town. For this one, I suggest you pour yourself an adult beverage, and enjoy a good kuier with our guests, Siphe Mashigo and Wim van Deventer of the band Zebra. -------------- Stalk...

How much is a musician worth? Does a master's degree in music mean anything? Conversations about cultural appropriation conversations. And a chicken. Steve Umculo made his first appearance as my guest on the show... and I say "first", because there will definitely have to be more! -------------- Stalk Baas de Beer properly: ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠ ⁠⁠TikTok⁠...

Talking to Andries Bruyns, the owner of Klitsgras Drumming, is like getting a new lease on life. In this episode of the #Baascast, he shares his pains, passion and pleasures with us... and I make fart noises! Also, learning how to play the didgeridoo is harder than it looks. Look at my spoon! -------------- Stalk Baas de Beer properly: ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Twitter⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠ Guest link...

It's woman's month, so spoke to a woman! Specifically one working in the social media/pr/brand management/entertainment side of things, aka Ginger Zaayman from Ginger Rock. Joining her we had Riaan Augestyn, social media influencer, brand ambassador and marketer with shoulders and eyes. We shot this on location at Piza ē Vino , Lynwood, Pretoria. Btw, if you think the sound is weird, forgi...
