“The influence of the Beat Bangaz as a collective and individually cannot be measured across the African hip hop landscape.

ies – UCT. The pioneering African DJ collective has it’s roots within the Cape Town hip hop culture that emerged in the early 80’s and the group has officially formed in 1999 after Ready D’s successful career as a battle DJ competing in the prestigious Technics DMC’s locally and abroad in the US, London and France. Beat Bangaz are a multi genre DJ crew with individual music tastes and deck wrecking skills. Combining these qualities are the ingredients for a longstanding collective career which spans almost three decades. Seeing the three mix, scratch and work together as a unit gives the live audience a unique visual and audio experience
Deeply rooted in Hip Hop culture gives the crew the opportunity to easily cross music genres during sets – taking the audience on a non stop music journey. As respective members of iconic South African bands like Prophets of the City and Brasse Vannie Kaap their collective and individual experiences afforded them the opportunity to exhibit their skills on international and national stages like Cape Town International Jazz Festival, KKNK, Pukkelpop Festival & more with numerous club performances. With a track record consolidated in international tours, radio, television, seminars and workshops - makes Beat Bangaz a unique South African DJ collective.

Dutch-Canadian Mcgyver performed in Amsterdam, Holland and Antwerp, Belgium and Jaz Kahina was kicking things off in London's Royal Albert Hall. Both of these artists tell us about the experience in our PEPR series Voice Notes from Around the World. Mcgyver's song is produced by the legendary Pete Rock and it is called "89". Jaz Kahina gave us a worldwide exclusive first time spin for a song called "SOS" from her forthcoming album.
