This weekend sees SA shores get a double dose of international headlining awesomeness. Both in Cape Town and Jozi respectively.
Press Release:
HINT (Ninja Tune | Tru Thoughts)

Hint became a household name for any downtempo / Trip Hop fan when his remarkable debut album ‘Portakabin Fever’, was released by Legendary Label NINJA TUNE in May 2003. Its style being dubbed ‘rural beat’, is a testament to the subtlety and depth within Hint’s musical ability and his deep understanding of rhythms both regular and broken.
He has had a multitude of acclaimed releases since then mostly through Tru Thoughts, a label that is renowned for its high standard of exceptional quality music releases.
An excellent jazzy DJ with down tempo beats and grooves contrasted against future-dance floor bombs. This is idyllic electronica. Expect Hint’s ever evolving style to keep you guessing and wanting more.
"Really fat and super funky. Full club support from me" – Laurent Garnier
"Filled to the brim with genius, forward thinking awkward dance music" - Mr Scruff
"this man’s DJ sets are joy, and the dance-floor-orientated tracks on Driven From Distraction demonstrate a practiced understanding of what makes a floor bounce.... Hint's knack of combining the uncombinable shines." - iDJ Magazine

BOOM MONK BEN (Ninja Tune / Solid Steel)

Benny The Boom is a mixtape magician. His list of top notch mixes is ongoing... He has laid down some of the most seminal mixes ever heard on Solid Steel (Ninja Tune). In no small feat, Ben beat off competition from Mr Scruff, Kid Koala, Cut Chemist, DJ Format, MANDY, James Holden and many, many more to finish runner up in the Best Of 2006′ Solid Steel guest mix competition.
A frenzied fanatic of all things bass, the Boom Monk leaves no stone unturned and no sound unheard in his quest for dance-floor devastation. From hip hop, dancehall, funk and break beats to house, electro, dubstep and drum and bass, as long as it makes him, us and you move on the floor then it will get put the through the blender in his inimitable style.
"One of Glasgow's finest DJs, he's so cheeky we nabbed him for our own purposes on Solid Steel - surely never a better recommendation? The man knows bass and he will give it to you with both tables (or three sometimes!)" - DJ Food
