Dj Zhao

DJ Zhao, a Chinese DJ based in Germany who brings the best contemporary and classic dance music together from wildly different times and places with focus on Africa, has set his sights on South Africa embarking on a four-day Joburg tour from the 27^th till 30^th September 2012 to share his love for music with individuals across the nation, therefore the activation will be around the youth and brand awareness initiative, as we celebrate spring, with the help of top SA DJs and Artists who will be part of the whole experience.

Informed of up-to-the-minute global street styles such as Afro-Electro, Kwaito, Durban-based House, Angolan-House, Kuduro, Coupe Decale, Naija, Rai, and Cumbia, as well as drawing upon the wealth of sonic traditions worldwide such as Juju, Gwo Ka, Rumba, Taraab, and Persian Classical, DJ Zhao fuses ancestral rhythms and urban bass pressure.  

With Mashup and Re-Edit work directly connecting "East" and "West", acoustic and electronic, traditional and hyper-modern, DJ Zhao creates hybrid genres such as Gamelan-Step, Sufi-Bass, or Acid-Zouk, making "Ancient-Futurist" musical collages at once mind expanding and floor smashing. 

Amateur ethno-musicologist and professional booty shaker, DJ Zhao is an International Sound Ambassador not only talking about, but demonstrating through raw sound experience, the underlying unity of all earth cultures. 

Performing solo and with NGOMA Soundsystem which includes German Percussionist Marcel, Multi-Instrumentalist Matchume from Mozambique, Cuban Trumpeter El Congo, and various other musicians, DJ Zhao brings unique vision and energy to every event, and has performed or shared bills with artists such as Shangaan Electro (South Africa), Konono No. 1 (Congo), Rhythm and Sound (DE), Cooly G (UK), Appietus (Ghana), Shackleton (UK), Pan Sonic (Finland).

Keagan wins Big Brother StarGame

Keagan wins Big Brother StarGame

 

Keagan, Kyle, Lady May, Prezzo, Talia and Wati were all in the running during the final week but the man from Cape Town won Africa’s hearts and votes. Wati was the first housemate to be evicted on the night, followed by Kyle, Talia, Lady May and, finally, Prezzo. Keagan and Prezzo entered the game on two different sides – Downville and Upville, respectively – on 6 May and kept Africa entertained for 91 day

Stars of Big Brother seasons past were keen onlookers in the live studio audience, alongside VIP’s like Zinzi Mandela. African music superstars also took to the Big Brother stage to take the finale to the next level. Nigerian hip-hop star D’Banj, Ugandan hip-hop powerhouse Navio, South African emcee Khuli Chana, award-winning Ghanaian hip-life king Sarkodie and Nigeria’s Afro-pop star Naeto C all rocked the stage, giving viewers a night they’ll never forget. 

Big Brother StarGame dominated TV screens – but also rocked the online space. The show generated over 2 million messages to TV, over 2 million unique online browsers, 128 000 000 page views, over 250 000 Twitter followers and nearly 900 000 Facebook likes.

 Congrats to Keagan , he is the first South African to win Big Brother , you have made us proud .

Russel Simmons heading to SA

Hip-hop mogul and entrepreneur Russell Simmons is heading to South Africa.

Mr Simmons will visit the country in September as a speaker for the next Destiny Forum event.

Khanyi Dhlomo, CEO of Ndalo Media and founding editor of Ndalo’s Destiny and Destiny Man magazines, says her group is honoured to be hosting the prominent international businessperson.

Russell Simmons .

As co-founder of the pioneering record label Def Jam in the 1980s, he helped launch the careers of several artists, including Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys. His empire includes the Phat Farm clothing line and an energy drink, but it’s his social activism that’s caused some to speculate that he’d make an ideal Mayor of New York City.

Simmons will be presenting on Friday, 21 September 2012 at Johannesburg’s Hilton Sandton Hotel and is brought to you in association with M-Net and City Press. 
Tickets cost R850 (including VAT) per person, which includes cocktail dinner and an after-party with Tumi and The Volume.

The Wild Canned

 MNET soapie The Wild to be canned, final show in March 2013

 

 
M-Net has decided not to commission a third season of The Wild, which means the soap will come to an end on the M-Net channel in March 2013.

“This difficult decision was made based on two interrelated factors,” says Theo Erasmus, M-Net Director: General Entertainment Channels. “Firstly, M-Net ascertained that the monies allocated to The Wild, which is a high-cost production due to the fact that it’s a location-based soap, could be spent on other productions that could possibly produce better ratings in a shorter period of time. Soaps take many months to build an audience, whilst other genres may produce higher ratings quicker.

Since its launch, The Wild has been showered with industry accolades, including four SAFTA awards. Recently, it also received the You Spectacular Award for Most Popular Soap, with actors Ty Keogh and Shona Ferguson also nabbing the awards for Sexiest Male and Best Actor respectively. It even received international recognition with a Rockie Award nomination in a category previously won by soaps such as Days of our Lives.

Yizo Yizo makes it's way back to our tv screens

Yes Yizo Yizo is back as of next week thursday on SABC 1

The popular 13-part local drama series looks at problems faced by pupils in South Africa's education system as a result of a breakdown in the culture of learning and teaching leading to a sense of helplessness among parents, students and teachers.

Issues of drug abuse, gangsterism and rape are tackled. Focusing on Supatsela High School, the story revolves around an autocratic cane-wielding principal who is forced to leave after he assaults a pupil. His successor is weak and corrupt and the situation in the school deteriorates with gangsters and criminal elements filtering

I hope most of your parents allow you to watch this , seeing that back then it was a huge issue due to some of the scenes .

Yizo Yizo airs on the 09th of August at 22h00 .

Papa action is back hehe ........
