PRESS RELEASE:Schlachthofbronx [Germany] are the pioneers of Munich Bass; a dirty hybrid of modern styles like Ghettotech, Electro, Dubstep & Hip Hop which also references the authentic sounds of Dancehall, African Kuduro, German folk music, Coupé-Décalé and Roots Reggae. Their one and only aim is: GHETTO-BASS IN YO FACE!
Playdoe, the self styled "Neolectro, Afrobotic, Ethnotechno mama's boys", have developed their own take on Hip Hop and modern club Electro by also including sounds of their own heritage to create a melting pot of musical flavours that sounds unlike anything else.
Schlachtofbronx and Playdoe will also join forces for a short collaboration set that will bring together their diverse musical styles into a modern club sound, free from genres , stereotypes and borders.
Twelv & Thesis are Jozi's own destructive live break-beat duo whose sets are an eclectic high octane blend of Electro, BreakBeat, Drum & Bass and booty shaking ghetto techtonic beats.
It's also the official debut of Jozi's new boombot, DJ Danger Ingozi. He'll be flexing his electroactive polymers with a high voltage selection of Tropic House, Afro-tech, Kwaistep & Dub.
Yo booty wants to come. Bring it.
Line-up:

So, Munich club bangers, Schlachthofbronx, are hitting Jozi with their dirty ghetto booty bass rave this weekend. As their name suggests, it's sure to be some kind of slaughterhouse on that dancefloor. We caught up with them while on tour in anticipation of the party.
So guys, your new debut album is finally out, you are on tour and it
seems well received by everyone from Diplo to Edu K and Sinden to
Switch. How’s life treating you?
We're glad to have the chance to get around a little and meet so many interesting people.
The album sounds way more consistent than most dance albums. Did you
try to bridge the gap between a conventional club record and something you could
listen to more often and elsewhere?
Its probably not the best soundtrack for a lazy hangover Sunday.
But when you're into club music it works pretty good.
We arranged it more in a way we'd play a set when we DJ. Having different styles and building up vibe with every track....
Your influences are massively eclectic – electro, b-more, kuduro,
baile, soca, dancehall, funana, Balkan, Bavarian, dubstep - but they
all have one thing in common – Bass!
Is this a conscious effort to keep crowds interested in the club and
on the dancefloors, or it just what you find yourselves making in the
studio and then try out in the clubs?
We were kinda bored by the way some club music developed the last years. We don't want to hear the same style of music the whole night when we go out. There's so much cool music around. Lets try some of that stuff in the club.
The press has been having a field day with your genre. Possibly or
probably because you have been instigating it from the start hahaha. So one
more time, in your own words and on the record, how would you describe
your music?
Carnival techno, caribian bounce, worldschranz, Bavarian bounce, polkafunk and everyhing very danceable.
For anyone curious about the type of music you guys make and are into
and whomever else is part of the extended family of your scene… Who
would you recommend checking out?
There are sooooooo many. Start with Mad Decent stuff, Man Recordings stuff, Bersa Discos stuff, check out Generation Bass, etc...
And any upcoming producers you would like to hype and give some loving
attention?
Beataucue, Tim Turbo, Sweet Sweat Soundsystem
What music were you into growing up?
Gabba, reggae, Guns n Roses
If you could work with any musician/producer, alive or dead, who would
it be?
Busta Rhymes, Busy Signal
"Ghettosuperstar" has some of the dirtiest lyrics we’ve heard… I dare say more so than Spoek’s. What does your momma’s have to say about it? And do you hear people in the crowd know them off by heart?
DIRTY? I'LL SHOW YOU DIRTY STUFF!!!!!
no...our mothers don't know so they don't care. It's not that dirty anyway...
And yes people sing that stuff along in some places. The dirtier it gets the more.
Spoek (Sweat-X and Playdoe) has been a frequent collaborator, how did
your working together happen?
We played with Sweat-X last year and played some stuff to him. He'll also be on our next EP on Man Recordings that comes end of the year.
And in one simple gasp, describe how it is to tour with him.
Red hot strawberry water (he just bought that at the airport)... a lot of fun.
I’ve heard his native tongue rubbing off on you guys. Are there any
words or sayings you have been dropping overseas for catchphrases?
Ayoba!
All the music he gets involved in seems really well received overseas,
it’s surely generating some curiosity for what’s going on in South
Africa, am I right?
The best representative you can imagine. Soccer does the rest....
What do you guys expect from your shows here in South Africa?
We're really curious about what will happen because you never know how it works with the people. Best would be getting the people who go to the show to party hard. And if they bring vuvuzelas!
You are 3 guys in the studio, but only 2 when you play live. Is the other guy shy or does his best bassface just not cut it?
gone a jail!
What does your live setup consist of and how do you perform your material live?
As the DJ team we come with 3 CDJs, an MPC 2000Xl, some dubsirens and delays and of course a Spoekman5000. We're planning a real live show next year
What can South Africans expect from your show?
Hornblowing, ragwavin, bassheavy carnival techno.
