TSJS 03 April 2011

The Thesis Social Jam Sessions keep growing strong and are not about to stop anytime soon. The line up keeps growing better and more diverse. We will keep introducing acts to the youth of Soweto and Johannesburg at large.

This instalment is filled with diversity thanks to the DJ's and Live acts. Ill skills will be gracing the TSJS stage for the first time after their return from London where they were doing their 24hr mixtape ...project. This dynamic duo of Uno July and Jimmy Flexx will turn the stage into their home and make the crowd their guests. The Layders are back to showcase what they have for the masses from their forthcoming album on Soulcandi records. It must go into saying that this is the platform that got them to be signed and it’s good to have them grace us with their grown sound.

DJ Okapi's sound is that of African vibes and bubble gum all mixed with Vinyl. He is slowly making a name for himself in the Johannesburg scene and has already played at Dirty Secret and the 70 Juta opening. His selection is sure to school people and get them all nostalgic. Zakes is the hip hop/downtempo DJ that has been in the scene from long. Those that know him will tell you that he was there when DJ Mbuso was still starting out. He will be bringing along his “A” game for the TSJS crowd. Paledi and Kid Fonque don't need that much introduction. Both their selections are eclectic and will keep the crowd happy.

Comedy will be provided by Mpho "Popps" the second season runner up of so you think you funny. This young lad has been blowing up the scene... ask David Kau. As the one of few comedians to get a standing ovation at the Black Only comedy, we are proud to have him grace our stage. Opening for him will be Donovan.

Simbad

This Friday, Kitchener's Carvery Bar in association with Kid Fonque and TSJS present:

SIMBAD.
Straight outta the UK.

Multi-instrumentalist, dj & producer Simbad is very well respected amongst his peers in the world of good music. His incredible range as a producer spans from big band jazz to heavy Jamaican dancehall reggae, bouncy hip-hop to sick broken-beat & techno. Having worked & played with the likes of Tony Allen, Marque Gilmore, Keziah Jones, Julien Lourau, Ron Trent, Talvin Singh, Bugz in the Attic, Jimpster, Robert Owens (to name a few) he’s releasing music as Simbad (other projects & aka's being Heal, Twitch, Beatkeepers, Dreadpoet, Loose Ensemble, Marathon Men, Mowgly & Les Barons) and his tracks are always highly playlisted worldwide (from Gilles Peterson to Laurent Garnier to many radios & dj’s on the planet).

Simbad travels internationally as an accomplished dj, spinning his blend of HipHop, Deep House, Broken Beats, Dubstep, Disco & more... As this man puts it himself "it's just quality booty music... I love to spread the vibes & feel the crowd... And a good dancefloor needs always ladies,right ?..."

Simbad’s solo album Supersonic Revelation on Raw Fusion (featuring various talented singers), has being already praised as a modern soul classic by various dj’s & magazines. As if he wasn’t busy enough he’s also working with Karizma as Izmabad & finishing’ various projects from Japan to Puerto Rico, as well as hosting his radio show on Déjà vu Fm Radio in London.

Thesis Social Jam Session March 2011

The home of uncensored entrainment, Thesis Concept store is back with the Thesis Social Jam Session. These monthly sessions happening every first Sunday of the month, bring together like minded people that enjoy the creative world and being inspired by people.

This installment brings Soweto a semi Pretoria (PTA) invasion with DJ Bubbles at the helm of it. Mr House Tunes has switched up his style for and plays more rare soul, fun...k, downtempo and bring with him a world class selection. Shadowing him is the band, Travellin' Blak who flow with some hip hop rhythms fused with poetry all played to the sound of a live band. Our continued partnership with the Comedy society of PTA brings out Vusi and The Hit man. They will keep us in stitch's as they ease down the volume.

Bilal will be opening for the masses with some laid back grooves of trip hop, soul and lounge. Chuck D (Deep Soweto) will be representing the ghetto youth with some new track and a hyped performance. He is our answer to all the cluttered hip hop acts of these days. DJ Kenzhero makes a welcome back with a set that will be legendary and not what people always hear from him. This is going to be a musical journey of note... Expect the best from this musical master.
