Our host, DJ Black Coffee, who is Frisco's ambassador for its Wide Awake Shake campaign
On Saturday evening (from 5pm till about midnight) we were in Parktown, where DJ Black Coffee was celebrating the success of his partnership with Frisco, on the Wide Awake Shake campaign. He’s been going around the country (videos here: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvcgcqja1xcV8btP0-_jWWw?feature=watch) mugging celebs and schlebs in order to give them a “wide awake shake”, as we’re told.
We had a great time. SPHEctacular was also on decks at some stage, and he stole the show. We loved the lamb curry and the cute cupcakes, scones and cakes too! We won’t mention the bar!

How do you have a party without this trio these days?
They given the nod as last year’s Best Hospitality Facility at the Durban July, and with MTV Base releasing the list of performers set to rock their marquee on July 6 and 7, it’s hard to see them not winning it again.
Very few people that go to the race event go to put bets on their favourite horses- that’s why hospitality matters more than the goings-on on the course. So securing the biggest stars and catering for your marquee puts you ahead of the pack.
The now indie Pro Kid will let us in on his new material
Without trying to great controversy, it is disappointing that no female artists are on the bill. But MTV Base can still be forgiven, because Donald, Mi Casa, Zakes Bantwini, Teargas, Pro Kid, JR, Lulo Cafe, Black Coffee, Dimplez and DJ Vigilante will be on hand to entertain invitees. The MTV Base Lifestyle Oasis Village will be located in the Ascot Village.
Before all the glitz of the main day, a pre-party will be held at De La Sol at 10pm, and will feature DJs Vinny Da Vinci, Sphectacula & Naves, and again Lulo Cafe.
Partaaaaay!
Tickets are R650 per person at Computicket or for VVIP bookings, people are to email admin@blackincevents.co.za or nick@delasol.co.za
Alternatively call 031 312 9435. MTV Base on DStv channel 322 will also acrry furtehr details.
Zaki Ibrahim performs at her album launch at Great Dane in Braamfontein
This may be a little late, but we captured some pictures from different gigs in the past couple of weeks that we wanted to share. Enjoy!
Zaki was launching her album Every Opposite
Mam’ Sibongile Khumalo brought along with her a popping voice and new songs. She performed indoors, and unlike the dancing going on outside, where HHP and Lira (she sampled electronic sounds and even did a short cover of Rihanna’s We Found Love) performed, Khumalo had her crowd seated and in silence. That voice is still magic after all these years.

One can never not dance when this man is on stage. This time he performed alongside a choir
All this and more in the flagship store to open at the Maboneng Precinct
We’d like to congratulate Anisa Mpungwe on, what is surely every designer’s dream, opening her Loin Cloth & Ashes flagship store in the Maboneng Precinct in Jozi.
It was announced earlier that the store is opening on July 1, and she couldn’t have chosen a better spot too.
The 28-year-old Tanzanian-born designer said of the exciting news: “This is a big step for me and a daring move for my label. I’m thrilled to have found just the perfect spot for people to come shop and try on our clothes. We’ve been working so hard towards this and I’m glad it has finally come. It’s been a divine journey.”
Just last year she left Pretoria to come and open her studio in the Main Street Life building.
Mpungwe picked Anele Mdoda to be the ambassador of the label
A year since the release of their self-titled debut album The Soil was released, and the talented acapella trio (Ntsika Ngxanga, Luphindo Ngxanga, and Buhlebendalo Mda), have announced they will be hitting four universities nationwide in support of their offering. We like the unofficial competition for the young ears between these guys and The Muffinz. Both have been gathering quite a bit of momentum, and especially in the case of The Soil, through word-of-mouth.
THE DATES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
20 July 2012 – THE SOIL CAMPUS TOUR – Wits Theatre [starts: 18h00 – tickets: R80 at the door]
10 August 2012 – THE SOIL CAMPUS TOUR – Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, PE [starts: 18h00 – tickets R 70 at the door]
17 August 2012 – THE SOIL CAMPUS TOUR – Cape Town Intervarsity Special, CTICC, Marimba Restaurant [starts: 18h00 - tickets R50 at the door]
31 August 2012 – THE SOIL CAMPUS TOUR – UJ Arts & Culture Theatre, Kingsway [starts: 18h00 - tickets R 70 at the door]
On Friday they will be playing on Metro FM with Glen and Unathi, before playing teh UGU Festival in Port Shepstone on June 23.
