The Sound (artist page) is a remixer, producer and DJ from Cape Town who has been remixed the likes of kidofdoom and Haezer and worked along side other 021 artists, such as CoDeC. With a possible EP to be released in 2010 and more remixes to follow The Sound is definitely one to watch.

Access Violation is an instrumental track which features heavy distortion along side sweeping synths. It is never overpowering or ‘too heavy’, but instead is great to listen to and it might even get a few bodies moving!

The Sound - Access Violation

The Sound does it again on this remix, combining distortion and synths in a way that is dirty, but never too much. Very rad remix!

Haezer feat. Jax Panik - Sirens In The Night (The Sound Remix)

And why don’t you give a listen to the latest bootleg to come out of the Biscope beat shed. It’s smooth and sexy and I like it!

My old friend Paul Gala got in touch with me the other day and dropped this one off just in time for Halloween! Some of you may remember Paul as one of the members of South African electro band “Black Rabbit“. Black Rabbit are (sadly ) no more but Paul and Mia (the stunning vocalist from Black Rabbit) are now married and kicking it in the U.K.

Paul assures me that we will be hearing a lot more from him in the future, which is awesome as he is one very talented individual.

The track – as the name suggests – is all about Freddy Krueger, features Mia on vocals and will make you wanna dance in your Halloween costume for the whole weekend! Oh yeah!

Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Thou Shalt Always Kill (Sibot Remix)

This track is an awesome glitchy track with filthy, kickin’ bass line that just begs you to freak out on the dancefloor. Not sure if this is released as a DJ Fuck remix or Sibot, either way it’s a bangin’ tune worth checkin’ out!

MC Spoek, the other half of Playdoe does the vocals on this twichy, fidget track. It’s bound to get a few asses shakin’. Get it while it’s hot!
