Rhythm Heritage

Rhythm Heritage is a musical gathering hosted by Lirubishi & Simbad bringing local & international DJ's to the heart of Cape Town. This instalment features Dj Bubbles from Pretoria, founder of Urban Touch Recordings in 2012 with the aim of providing an alternative for the South African musical landscape and the world at large by bringing underground sounds to light through the release of a string of compilation albums of various styles and genres, including hip hop, soul, funk, dub, jazz and house. The label has since expanded its range, and now includes afrobeat, nu jazz, dub, electronica and everything in between.

Bubbles gained his reputation as "the go to guy when you want that heat" as a sales consultant at Flipside Records (which he later managed) in the late 90's. During his time as Flipside he mixed and compiled the critically acclaimed Flipside House Vol.2 and oversaw the release of the follow up mixed by DJ Koti. Soon after, he churned out a steady stream of compelling compilations for the now defunct USM Records and was an instrumental part of the budding Deep House movement of the early 2000's. DJ Bubbles intent pursuit of a unique, individual sound spanning a period of over 20 years now has seen this champion of the underground making guest appearances in and around South Africa's reputable establishments and music festivals.

Friday 21st April - 8pm to 2am at Selective Live (189 Buitengracht St - Cape Town) - Entrance R80 via Quicket, R100 at the door.
