Thrumcast 017 – Ofuren

Posted by The High Plains Drifter on Posted in Mix, Mix, Mix Tagged

We are delighted to kick 2015 off with a mix from an exciting young talent hailing from Witbank a.k.a. “place of coal”, situated near Johannesburg.

Siyabonga “Ofuren” Ngwenya first caught our attention via a guest mix which was broadcast on a community radio station early in 2014. An unexpected and unashamedly deep set that revealed a strongly-individualistic ear, we immediately reached out and connected with this kindred spirit.

Ofuren is a producer first and foremost – and has been releasing music since he was 19. He also curates for Roots Go Deep, which boasts a healthy discography featuring a host of like-minded local artists. Last year saw the labels first vinyl offering, a superb collaboration EP by Ofuren and Fred Buddah, and this was followed up with an outing on the revered Deep Explorer imprint.

Tracklist

01. Newworldaquarium – Shine Eyed
02. Zizz – Mind Expansion
03. Herbie Hancock – Rain Dance
04. Jan Jelinek – Moire (Strings)
05. Carl Craig – Experimento

My set for Rocking the Daisies on 4 October 2014. I was booked to open the Beach Bar floor with a downtempo set. I don’t get booked for chill out sets often, so I was more than excited to do it.

I’ve included all my favourite types of downtempo, including ambient, chill dub techno, trip hop and ends off with some super chilled deep house.

The set was compiled and recording as an Ableton Live DJ set.

“It was with absolute pleasure that I accepted to do this mix for Thrum Room. The selection process got me to dig in my old collection to pull out some timeless tracks such as the first EP on Trapez. I have tried to tell a story through the musical landscape, mixing genres that probably should not be
mixed together. Thank you Thrum Room.”

Tony Montana aka Tiger Phong, has been an integral part in the early house days of his adoptive second home, Cape Town, where his residencies and events played reads like a wish list for any local DJ. He also founded the Reset nights and co-founded the Francophunk parties. At present he resides in Mauritius where he juggles a day job alongside his beloved craft which he has been honing since 1998.

We approached Tony because the genre was out of his comfort zone, but knew that in his vast library of records he’d find what we were looking for, and he did.

Our second Thrumcast for 2014 , compiled and mixed entirely on vinyl, is brought to us by Thrum Room co-founder Helmut J. 

“What started as a simple listen/mix session, turned out to be the selection I’m happy with to showcase my own understanding of the foggy & warm sound known as dub techno and dub infused house.” 

Originating from Johannesburg, Helmut J is known mostly for his versatile flowing journeys into ambient & deeper Tech House, and more so for his darker penchant for Minimal & Dub Techno. Helmut is now based in Cape Town where he has been drawing on his creative energy in the form of production.
