Released today, Boss is the latest single from Richard The Third. We really loved the track when he first released the teaser.

The track “Boss” is straight up dancefloor bizniss [...]

Today we are bringing you six remixes of The National by The Frown. It’s hard to pick a favourite. The remixes are a showcase of the talent that South Africa has to offer, while also reflecting the varied styles that are popular today.

Control is one of my favourite tracks off of Spoek Mathambo’s album Mshini Wam. The bass is deep, as are the vocals, which gives it a feeling of good 90s deep house.

A million thanks, really. All the letters make fine reading, but I was particularly struck by your complaint (letter 2, page [...]

I honestly do not know where Richard finds the time to produce such ill bootlegs. Taking a cut n paste approach, he reduces and changes samples and rearranges slices in a way that creates a new sound. A good bootleg is both familiar and yet strange, and Sin n Juice does that perfectly! Technorati Tags: [...]

Richard the Third has been a busy man of late. What with DJ’ing in the 011 and the 021, making tracks with his brother for Biscope along with his work over at MIO! We’re glad then that when he had a moment to himself, rather than vegging out on the couch watching the latest episode [...]
