First thing you need to understand is that,
there is music, and there is music!
You have what is picked up and transmitted onto
airwaves amidst model-c accents peppered with
kasi slang then beamed onto T.V screens
one after the other- one looking like the other
and inducing the same seizures underneath strobe lights
and garish T-shirts in nightclubs everywhere.

And then, an ear-to-the ground distance away,
there is Music Atlast ®, a counter culture movement at
odds with the sheep-like, cookie-cutter music scene.
But, make no mistake; it wasn’t hate that spawned the crew,
but the love of all beautiful, hypnotic suppressed beats everywhere.
The crew consists of 4 principal members, Romz Deluxe ,
Symatics, Themba, Captain Schti and Tha Muzik.
and a growing number of guest turntable junkies.
With hip-hop as the starting point, this band of
beat-meisters journey backwards, forwards and sometimes even sideways,
playing an eclectic mix of funk, hip-hop, soul, electro,
big beats and whatever beats your mother approves.
If nothing else, it’s the people who choose
Music Atlast™ as their musical home who deserve praise.
It could have been so easy to let the status quo stand and sink
deeper into they’re fully stocked mp3 players.
Be true to Jozi infamous fickleness when it comes to new gigs.
However the opposite is happening, since its inception
Music Atlast® has grown not only in size and stature,
but also in the music we explore. Let there be music at last!
Performances:
Slum Village, K'naan, Jperiod,
Mos Def (After Party), Dj Jay Cee (Ludacris' Dj),
Pras Of The Fugees, Dj Babu of Dilated Peoples,
BlK JKS, Kwani Experience, Ne-Yo,
People Under The Stairs, John Robinson aka Lil' Sci
and Die Antwoord just to mention a few.
