ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!! Rock It Real really appreciates all of you for supporting REAL South African music (whether from present day or the 1920's!). Thank you for supporting us over the past year (OK... many more years as Rock It Real has been running off and on since early 2000's!). Without our listeners and fans (and most importantly, the bands who provide us with the cool tunes!) we wouldn't have the platform that we have!!!! We have an absolute passion for South African music and love the stories behind the stories!!! DJ Squeek AKA Aidan Harper has been involved in the South African music industry since the 80's! Rock It Real brings you not only the coolest SA music but gives you a perspective based on personal experience and an innate knowledge of all things musically South African!!!!! 2026 promises to bring more insight and more "behind the scenes" info on your favourite bands.... In the words of the late Shaye Leith (Owner and designer of many amazing SA clubs from the 70's and forward) - "We will play you the music your forgot to remember"....
