Justin Slack embodies the word “connoisseur” in a number of ways…

Firstly, there is his sophisticated, impeccable and intelligent taste in music, ranging from rare groove to liquid drum ‘n bass to deep house. Secondly, his dedication to vinyl as a medium, religiously collecting records since before the early years of the underground dance scene in Cape Town (still doing so to this day), and inspiring many of the city’s current taste-makers. Thirdly, as all of his previous recordings and club sets attest (www.urbanrenewal.co.za/category/audio/), is his ability to weave a sonic tapestry filled with the deftness, nuance and emotion that bears the mark of someone truly devoted to the art form.

We could continue to wax lyrical about the man, but clocking in at just under 2 hours, we’d prefer to let Thrumcast 006 do the talking.
