To give you some scope on the series we call The Blend, you have to understand that for this we spotlight artists/bands that are slightly off-centre to that of the DJ/producer’s we normally showcase. One could expect to learn about an outfit that experiments with the fusion of electronic and live extensions simultaneously. It is different, but it’s once a week, and in South Africa, the electro/dance/band sound is coming out ‘gunz blazin’ so it’s certainly something we want to keep you updated with. This edition, we spotlight South African Afrikaans band, Die Heuwels Fantasties.
Die Heuwels Fantasties (English: The Hills Fantastic) is an Afrikaans electronic band from Bellville, South Africa, composed of the talents known as Hunter Kennedy (also member of Fokofpolisiekar & formerly of aKING), Pierre Greeff (also member of Lukraaketaar), and Johnny de Ridder (also member of Fokofpolisiekar). The collective have recently released their latest works dubbed ‘Wilder as die Wildtuin’ which you can get from the link below, but also followed it up with a team effort again with 187pictures for their latest music video for ‘Hou aan’. Watch ‘Hou aan’ here below:
