Spekta & Enough Weapons @ Mystics!

2010, Fri 19th Mar from 21:00 till Sat 20th Mar 03:00am

SPEKTA

Spekta has been fabricating his head-spinning flavour for the past 12 years, monitoring and mixing the evolution of Cape Town’s electronic music scene. He has played alongside international breakbeat DJ and Fabric resident, Ali B, and you can catch him week to week – playing his eclectic set at The Waiting Room. He was part of the much talked about African Dope tour to the Grahamstown festival last year. For the Maties massive, Spekta has a regular booking with the African Dope Nite at the Mystic Boer in Stellenbosch. Of course, he also organizes and co-ordinates the acts and music for the Technodubfest Stage at the scintillating Rezonance New Year’s Eve Party.

Using two turntables and Stanton Final Scratch, Spekta has sunk his teeth into just about every kind of crowd, club and party that you could suck out of your thumb. In the past few years the man has been booked for prime sets at a number of outdoor music festivals – Alien Safari, Earthdance, Oppikoppi, Rezonance/Technodubfest NYE, Origin, Rocking the Daisies and the Lake Of Stars Music Festival in Malawi, and is a regular on the other stages at most of Cape Town’s outdoor party scene.

From the big beat head boppers to breakbeat floor-breakers to late night techno heads, no crowd goes home wondering what might have been as Spekta’s arsenal of beats is as explosive as it is comprehensive. Kit yourself for chaos.

ENOUGH WEAPONS

If seeing a dance floor rage in awe and getting down to world class music sets off your radar, then tilt your ears and have a listen to this. Enough Weapons are a Cape Town based underground beat production duo. They have a knack for crafting dirty breaks and nuskool tech, topped off with their trademark recipe of twistedly-kinky-rhythms and beefy-ground-basslines. As a duo the two beat lovers have reaped about 13 years of DJ-ing and music Production skills and exude sinister, filthy and funky music. 2008 Saw them breaking onto the South African and European dance scenes, appearing at local gigs and releasing their first singles globally. Being picked up almost instantly by Fracture records [Holland], they released singles ‘Dirty Typist’ and ‘Senseless’ in 2008. Locally they released a remix [‘Smut’] by MPI Project for Kloraform records and ‘Warning Label’ as intro track for a compilation on Disasterpeace records. In 2009 they’ve shown their worth in new track releases [a total of 7], distributing through record labels based in the United States, Britain, Italy and South Africa. Flexing their strictly Enough Weapons Live sets, one half of the duo [six-six-one] plays a mixed box DJ set ranging between dub, electro and break beats. Going on 2010 they’re entering their third year with a new Live performance act, featuring 20 fingers tickling grand gadgets that will boost your bass addiction [..includes Kaos pads, Nordlead 3 and secret weapons]. The first two months of 2010 already hold 5 global single releases and live performances. Expect to hear them breaking out some more epic sounds through-out the New Year
