Thandi Draai - Afro-House

[Grant]

i feel like i've been living under a rock - heard some of her stuff for the 1st time earlier this evening.

interesting back story tho.
a guy nearby broadcasts music from his house via fm transmission.
for him it started as a little home project fiddling around with an old apple itrip (connects to i pod and broadcasts the music to your car radio via fm).
he got some more powerful equipment and his music was reaching about 5 houses from his own - he had let his direct neighbors know about his project and gave them the frequency. soon enough a few others were listening, including a friend of mine.
i was a my friend's house some time back and music was playing, a really interesting and nice mix, so asked him what it was - "radio", he said, and gave me the frequency. i got the signal but it was weak and breaking.
by chance i bumped into the guy when with another friend of mine walking her dog - told him i had really enjoyed what i heard, but the signal was too weak.
about a month later i get a message: "tune in".
he had got hold of more powerful equipment, now pushing out a strong broadcast quality signal to about a 500m radius from his house.
i'm tuned in 24hrs now.
recently gave him a flash drive with music copied from one of my laptops - about 3000 tracks / albums, with a play time of two weeks:




so this evening music is playing - something comes on i've never heard before - and it's really good, really really good.

**preferably download, then play on good speakers or earphones to really get to enjoy.

Not bad, but neither the best. There is some safeness to it, keeping it familiar. The potential is certainly there.

It's difficult to read paragraphs if proper capitalisation is not used.

Nooit, that'll only sound good after you chowed your disco biscuits.

I think Grant got himself a new typewriter.

This is illegal use of the FM spectrum. Has ICASA come knocking yet?
