Published: 13 January 2017

Christian Gospel Band DungeFam releases their new music video for the debut hit single “Let Go”. The debut single is taken from their highly anticipated Debut Album due for release soon via Touch One Music Group.

“Let Go” was produced by Zee Chiliza who is a member of the band DungeFam. The song came to life while Zee was busy in studio making an instrumental for another song that is yet to be released. Let Go came like a flood as he was busy with the other song which he had to put on hold and write Let Go which flowed like a strong waterfall.

The song has touched many peoples lives and some have openly testified how the song has positively ministered to them. “Let Go” music video features the band in beautiful black and white mode.

This song is about letting go of all the things that weigh you down, the fears, the hurts, the disappointments, the pain and putting all your trust in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who will give you love, joy and peace.

Breatheasy with Econorisk: A fundraising concert with Watershed

Published: 09 November 2016

Econorisk and Watershed have teamed up once again, this time to raise money for the Breatheasy Tracheostomy and Ventilation Homecare Programme and the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital.  

On 24 November at 19h00 South African music sensation, Watershed, will take to the stage at the Rockwell Hotel theatre to perform for this life-changing charitable initiative made possible by Econorisk, a leading short-term insurance brokerage.  

Developed by Sister Jane Booth, the Breatheasy Programme provides parents of children reliant on tracheostomy or artificial ventilation for breathing, with the tools and skills needed to enable their children to enjoy life at home, surrounded by their families, rather than in hospital.  

Steven Hall, who brought the Breatheasy Programme to the attention of Brett Schultz, Director at Econorisk, explains how the event came about: "As a way of saying thank you for the care my mother received in hospital before she passed away, I wanted to find a cause which I could support - paying it forward, by raising awareness for an organisation helping the community and those in need. That is when I came across the Breatheasy Programme for children in South Africa whose lives are affected by breathing complications.  

"I decided to take part in half and full ironman events to create an even greater awareness of the Breatheasy Programme and their challenges and to raise funding for them. When I approached Brett he was immediately on board.  He shares a passion for sport, and wanting to make a difference for those in need. Econorisk sponsored my entry fees for the 70.3 season, but Brett also wanted to get other companies involved. His vision was to create an event in which we could platform the Breatheasy Programme to create more awareness, as well as establish additional fundraising opportunities. That is how the concert with Watershed came about."  

Not only is the Breatheasy Programme supporting the community and changing lives, but it is also a good fit with Econorisk’s brand values, as Brett explains:   

“At Econorisk, we pride ourselves on providing holistic insurance solutions to clients, giving them peace of mind and the reassurance that they are covered in case of any unwelcome future events ... thereby helping them breathe a little easier. I therefore knew immediately that the Breatheasy Programme was the right initiative for Econorisk to back.  

“I have known Craig Hinds for many years and, having worked with Watershed on a previous Econorisk fundraiser event in 2014 in support of up and coming South African Paralympic hopeful, Nicole Sanders, I approached him with the idea of another concert, which he wholeheartedly supported. And so the planning began.”  

The Breatheasy with Econorisk fundraiser concert with Watershed takes place on 24 November 2016 at 18.30 for 19h00 at the Rockwell Hotel theatre in Greenpoint, Cape Town. Proceeds raised will be used to purchase vital medical equipment such as ventilators, suction machines and humidifiers for the Programme that has been caring for children with a wide range of respiratory disorders for over two decades.    

“I believe that many South Africans have the desire to make a positive difference in others lives, but don’t always know how to,” says Steven. “Through this platform, we are giving people the opportunity to make this difference – and to have a good time whilst doing so.”  

Brett concludes: “Whilst it may come naturally to many of us, for some the simple act of breathing is sadly difficult or even impossible. Econorisk is incredibly proud to support the Breatheasy Programme and we invite companies and individuals to enjoy the sounds of Watershed for this life-changing cause.”

Tyga and SchoolboyQ Live in South Africa at #AXECESSJozi

Published: 22 January 2015

AXECESS presents Tyga and SchoolboyQ live in South Africa at #AXECESSJozi on the 7th of March 2015. Be sure not to miss this epic event!

Johannesburg, South Africa –On the7th of March 2015, #AXECESSJozi will welcome two mega Hip Hop artists, Tyga and SchoolboyQ, who will be performing in Johannesburg for the first time together, brought to you by Axe.

This is the first announcement phase of the international artist line up for Axecess Jozi 2015. Additional international and local artists will be announced in January 2015, so keep it locked on www.axecess.com for more information. Let’s get the Twitter-sphere rocking by using the hash tag #whoisjozibound?

Spend one night with these lyrical geniuses at the Mary Fitzgerald Square, in the heart of the Johannesburg CBD, where there will be an array of both international and local celebrities, as well as VIP A-listers.

AXE is exceptionally excited to be the pioneers who are bringing these multi-award winning artists into the country after successfully hosting the Big Sean concert in 2014. This one-night affair guarantees to bring out the essence of what it means for music and lifestyle to intersect.

“AXE and Music are integrally linked,” says Sphe Mjadu, Public Relations Manager for Personal Care, Unilever. Music is central to youth culture; hosting Axecess Jozi for the second year proves that this is a great way to connect with our consumers.”

Hip Hop superstar, Tyga, needs very little introduction. With over 5 million followers on both Twitter and Instagram, his celebrity status is undisputed. From his early days of releasing mixtapes, his debut mixtape ‘Young on Probation’ garnered enough hype that culminated in him landing his first record deal with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment label. Needless to say, this began the tidal wave of hits ranging from the track "Deuces" which was released as the debut single of the mixtape and, as of August 26 2010,  reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. More recently, on September 12 2014, Tyga announced via Instagram that his new single titled "40 Mill", which will be produced by Kanye West, Mike Dean, Dupri and his own producer Jess Jackson, is set to launch.. The upcoming album is also set to have features from Justin Bieber, Young Thug, Kanye West, Chris Brown and Drake.

Whether you are talking about SchoolboyQ’s independent albums “Setbacks” and “Habits and Contradictions”, or his contributions to Hip Hop group Black Hippy together with Jay Rock and Ab-soul, he has undoubtedly been in the rap game for a long time. His most contemporary album “Oxymoron” which has hits like “Studio” and “Man of the year” have made the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Upon its release, Oxymoron debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 139,000 copies in the United States.  In April this year, SchoolboyQ also made his solo magazine cover debut with the April/May issue of the long-standing Hip Hop magazine The Source, which hit newsstands on April 10 2014.

Jalibird Productions, the company behind the spectacular production of the Axecess Jozi featuring Big Sean earlier in 2014, will be the team behind the production in 2015 in partnership with Glen21.

#AXECESSJozi will be staged on the 7th of March 2015 at Mary Fitzgerald Square, Newtown.

Tribute to South African Music Heroes Concert 2014 - Moretele Park Tribute Concert

Published: 11 August 2014

Moretele Park Tribute Concert to toast 20 years of Freedom with all-star line-up  

Come and celebrate spring and the country’s 20 years of Democracy with a star-studded procession of South African music royalty at the annual Tribute Concert, taking place at Moretele Park on Saturday, 30 August 2014, Mamelodi in Pretoria.  

The City of Tshwane once again plays Proud Host to this ever-popular concert, now in its 17th year, which is renowned as one of the premier events on the country’s music calendar.  

The line-up for this year’s special-edition Moretele Park Tribute Concert, which pays homage to our Democracy and its musical Heroes and Icons, reads like a who’s who of the local music industry. Organisers Drakensberg Promotions have assembled a parade of exceptional artists that will head to Mamelodi for a daylong party pulsing with jazz, pop, traditional and dance music.  

Headlining the 2014 event are Afro-pop duo Mafikizolo, the comeback kids who recently collected two MTV Africa Music Awards to add to the eight South African Music Awards they won at this year’s ceremony.  

Plus, sensational dance maestros Mi Casa will be getting the crowd up on their feet with their essential and uplifting house grooves.   The one and only Johnny Clegg – our very own Le Zulu Blanc, a true living legend who has been fêted as a French Knight of Arts and Letters and who received the Order of Ikhamanga back home – will also be performing on the day.  

He will be joined by fellow music veterans Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Letta Mbulu, Jonas Gwangwa, Thomas Chauke and Ringo. The younger generation of dazzling musicians is well represented by Lira, Bhudaza, Musa (last year’s Idols winner) and Zonke – all adding up to an unmissable music encounter par excellence.  

Emerging jazz artists and groups will also perform on the day, which pays homage to South Africa’s music luminaries while showcasing the next generation of bubbling-under talent.  

“We are immensely proud that the Moretele Park Tribute Concert is now widely regarded as being the hottest springtime party in the country,” says Leonard Sithole of Drakensberg Promotions.  

“This year’s event is a particularly special occasion for us, because it gives us the opportunity to reflect on how far we have come as a country in the two decades since the dawn of democracy – but also to celebrate our musical riches, from our evergreen stalwarts right through to our talented young upstarts.”  

Join the thousands of revelers at Moretele Park Tribute Concert in Mamelodi, at one of the year’s most festive parties! The entertainment starts at 11am, and continues into the night. Tickets cost R300 and are available at Computicket.
