Brick City Street Edition.
-

Djs

Bruce Willis??
Chairman Mao
Sneaky Funky Russian Aka SFR
Deep Filth
& ???

The time has come for the next installment of BC and this month we're doing something a bit different... a whole lot different!
-
The plan is that we have asked people within the industry to come out and perform a once off set. This means that guys you already know will be performing different genres of music than what they currently play.
-
Example:

SFR (Sneaky F*&king Russian = Drum & Bass) X
SFR (Sneaky Funky Russian = Jack Beats Electro) ✓

Get the idea?

We also got guys who are involved in other forms of entertainment to come out and play.
-
Example:

Daniel Ting Chong (Graphic Designer / VJ) X
Daniel Ting Chong (Dj Chairman Mao) ✓

We feel this will add a new dimension and an exciting element to the night.
-
This doesn't mean auditions are long gone as we are leaving one space open for whoever we think deserves it.
-
...Demos will still be posted on the blog for you to vote on and we will gather this information on the closing date and work out the winner.
So again, we urge everyone to push and promote whoever they think deserves to win by casting a vote on whatever BC platform.
-
These are the rules::
-
1) Auditions end on the 23th.
2) Votes will be tallied and a final announcement will be made on the 24th.
3) All demos must be submitted with a soundcloud account.
4) Demos performed off software need to be controlled by a MIDI device.
5) Any form of electronica is accepted.
6) You must be 18 or over to enter. We would still like to hear your mix regardless so don't hesitate to send it in if you are under 18.

BC street edition is guaranteed to be nothing short of awesome. Our history of bringing up and helping Cape Towns youth in todays scene is a job worthy of its name. Already a handful of BC found talent are in constant supply in and around Cape Towns night clubs and venues, playing what they feel and gaining success as they move along.

\\First come, first serve//

Ok so we have received two submissions since the announcement of the new BC. Unfortunately only one of them is on a Soundcloud account. We are currently waiting for the other artist to upload his demo so we can share it with you. Until then listen to this and vote if you like.
//
This is a mini mix compiled by a local guy that is turning some heat amongst the Dubstep heads in the mother city. He did the mix for the MTTM comp and has received some great feedback. If your feeling it... you know what to do.
