Killer Robot welcomes their upcountry disco ball toting cousins down to the mother city for a long awaited night of mayhem. Can the Robots stand up to the triple tag team of Fabio, Dogstarr and Graeme G Force?
DIGITAL ROCKIT
Digital Rockit, a DJ collective comprising Dogstarr, Fabio and JHB legend Graeme G-Force came into being 4 years ago through a common vision and interest in quality cutting edge music and events. In that time, the trio have distinguished themselves on every major platform for underground dance music in South Africa, as well as several abroad, with their unique approach to the art of djing, performing together simultaneously off three digital consoles. There is also a visual element to Digital Rockit performances, driven by the highly experienced G-Force, that adds a unique dimension to the act.
The 3 DJ’s involved have taken their sets to the next level by embracing advanced music technology. Live mixing of visuals, digital formats of music, EFX and live music edits are all on the cards for their performances. The music is eclectic yet dance floor friendly with each Dj’s personal style creeping in to a mix of the highest order. To classify the music as electro or tech house or electronica would not do it justice, it is all that and more!
DiGiTAL ROCKiT recently launched their new residency, ToyToy at Loaded in Joburg, and played host to DFA’s Tim Sweeney as well as Killer Robot at two successful parties. In addition to this, they found time time to complete their second free covermount mix CD for the SA youth culture magazine SL called Deviant Disco, the first being Dirty Dancing in July 2006.
Digital Rockit’s website www.digitalrockit.com contains more info on the individual members and Toy-Toy as well as a podcast/downloads that features recordings of performances and custom made mixes.

Parisian DJ Jef K revisits Jozi for a once-off return of Who’s in the House, the popular parties that made us all fall in love with house music.
A prolific traveler and veteran behind the decks, Jef has rocked clubs from Auckland to Atlanta, Shanghai to Chicago and Moscow to Madrid, winning over fans with a fresh, vibrant, sexy style that packs floors and cracks smiles. Expect a sound similar to that found on his incredibly successful My House compilations on French label Distance: low-slung, soulful, deep and dirty. In 1999 Jef started Silver Network with brother DJ Tony Silver, creating a platform for luminaries like Pepe Bradock, Charles Webster, Dixon, Iz & Diz, Kemetic Just, Freaks, Spirit Catcher and Alex Kid. Sub-label Crack&Speed introduced dance floors to the electro-minimal sounds of Freestyle Man, Chloé, Tim Paris, Volga Select, Abe Duque and Naughty.
Jef K is one of house music’s finest, a master DJ with a wealth of experience and an ear that’s always looking out for the new.
Joining him are two local legends: Vinny da Vinci and G-Force. Vinny needs no introduction, the undisputed doyen of deep house and veteran of the scene, and G-Force is the man who’s always pushing the envelope with his passionate commitment to underground beats. It’s a night not to be missed, a sexy celebration of solid grooves and silken sounds.
