DJ CLEO'S PROTEGE, DJ WHAT WHAT IS A LOT BIGGER THAN HOUSE MUSIC AND ONLY A BIT SMALLER THAN A GOD. HIS ALBUM *WHAT FOR?* HAS KEPT ME DANCING IN MY SOCKS FOR THE LAST WEEK...I AM NOT EVEN SKIPPING THOSE VOCAL HOUSE TUNES I HATED SO MUCH ON FIRST LISTEN. YOU CAN CATCH ME SINGING *COME TOGETHER* AT THE TOP OF MY VOICE.

DRY ASS BIOGRAPHY FROM WILL OF STEEL WEBSITE:
DJ What What hails from Bloemfontein, where, due to his status in the South African DJ scene, he gets accorded superstar status. He studied at the same school in Johannesburg as DJ Cleo, who would later become his mentor, completing a diploma in sound engineering.

Having aced the course, and with time to kill (musicians do not get 8 to 5 type of jobs), DJ What What started messing around with some beats in his home studio, putting into practice what he had learnt in school. It was during this creative process that DJ What What began drawing attention from more established DJs and producers countrywide.

In 2005, DJ What What received a call from his idol, DJ Cleo, who had already released a hit album entitled Eskhaleni and was working on his second project. As luck would have it, DJ What What was offered the privilege, and grabbed it with both hands, of working with DJ Cleo on what was certainly the biggest song of 2005, called ‘Goodbye’, which remains one of the most recognizable tunes in the South African dance scene today.
DJ What What
But when you want to achieve greater things in life, you need patience, and it was not until 2007 that the young lad form Bloemfontein would see the his hard work and two year long learning process, culminate into his debut album, ‘What If’, which was released in August. The album is progressive, yet easy on the ear, allowing the listener to mellow into it, sampling such songs as “I’m yours’, ‘Feel the DJ’, ‘Bloemfontein’ which he dedicates to his hometown and the massive dance floor filler, ‘Can we try’.

Judging by the ever-increasing number of bookings and accolades coming his way, DJ What What has certainly earned the respect of the industry, is garnering a lot of fans, and is headed to the top.

Talent, determination, hard work and sober habits intact, DJ What What is here to stay for a longest while…**

A KINDA BOOTLEG CASSETE...AND HERE IS KIND OF THE OPPOSITE...A SNIPPET FROM THEIR BIOGRAPHY:

*Mtkidu is a live beat construct and visual manipulation team, comprised of Murray Turpin (M18J92T), Nicholas Nesbitt (Kidu) and Hayley Junkin (chinxxx(VJ). Mtkidu was formed 3 years ago in the pursuit of a sound and visual language that was both relevant, authentic and experimental. For all intents and purposes, we concentrate on the creation and innovation of a new, dynamic sound/vision in South Africa and as the art galleries and clubs stagnate in white and grey cube commercialism, we will not forget the original purpose and potential of these spaces, for invention and exploration…*

CITINITE SAYS: Stakker

**The Evil Acid Baron Show released in 1988 was the first acid house video, created by Stakker, with music by Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk, Tyree, Baby Ford, Royal House and S’Express. The first video that I saw was actually the more accomplished Eurotechno (video still above), which came out the following year. Eurotechno blew me away when I first saw it at a house night in Cornwall and I went to Woolworths to buy a copy on VHS, which thankfully I still have. The pulsing, ever-changing graphics go perfectly with the futuristic acid soundtrack and is just as fresh as it was then .

Stakker were video artists Mark McClean and Colin Scott. After using other people’s music for their first video, they decided they wanted their follow-up to feature music they had commissioned themselves so that the music could more closely match the visuals. **

**McClean and Scott used a Fairlight CVI graphics machine, which was the video “sister” to the Fairlight CMI digital sampling synthesizer made famous by the likes of Herbie Hancock and Art Of Noise.**

CITINITE SAYS: Earl "Snake Hips" Tucker

**Often called the "Human Boa Constrictor" and the "Gelatinous Dancer". Originated and made famous the dance called the "Snakehips" in the early 1920's. A dance that is a wriggling, hip type dance that is descriptive of its name.

Tucker came to New York in the mid 1920's via the May Kemp show from Baltimore. Snakehips got his first dance Show at Connie's Inn shortly after arriving into town and became a fixture for many years there. As time passed he would work for many
Night Clubs and theatres namely The Lafayette and Cotton Club.

His costume was designed to show off his movements; it consisted of a loose fitting silk shirt with puffy sleeves, form fitting black bell bottom pants with a sequined cumberbun with a sparkling buckle in the center from which hung a large tassle. Sometimes he would replace the cumberbun and tassle with a sash wrapped around his waist a few times, tied, and hung down at the side. His aura was coarse, deep suggestive and menacing all at the same time, like a cobra stalking its prey.**

ELEPHANT SHOES

I just got married!! I am a married man!! Besides the thrills of getting my back patted raw and seeing reels of young hopefuls' hopes dashed, I am beeming in love.

The soundtrack to my buzz has mostly been (gasp!), dancehall and uk funky...I have been in Sweden for the last while and that has meant no township tech (and for some crazy reason unbeknownst to me, my wife refuses to pop the new DJ Cleo CDs out of their clingwrap packs).

I am not sad about this, in fact, this bubbly Carrabean Rave has only but added more pep to my step (which was already sufficiently pepped).

The favourite things have been:
