You’re
having an absolute ‘shitter’ of a day, everything that could possibly have gone
wrong has and even the things that couldn’t go wrong, have too! You try your
best to sprinkle any sense of logic left onto your ‘screw the world’ campaign
and just as you are about to delete all your Facebook friends you hear a song.
A song that changes everything. A song that takes you back to a time when playing
outside did not mean going to Splashy Fen and poppers were crackers. A
song that not only pulls at your heart strings, but actually yanks them right
out. A song that is directly connected to the muscles that make you smile,
because for some reason you cannot remember and will never remember this song
means something to you. Why is it as humans, we feel such a strong bond to
music? Well, if you think about it, music is the first part of the world we are
exposed to before WE are even exposed to it! From the security of our mother’s
womb we listen to her heartbeat and synchronize our own to that of the
repetitive rhythm created.
So
keeping all this in mind, don’t you think your selection of music is just
as important as the bite sized emotions attached to them? If you agree, then
you need to spoil yourself to some Kwaicore. What exactly is Kwaicore? Online in the
blogosphere you will find it being described as a break through genre. A mixing
pot of both Kwaito and Hardcore Punk, that leaves the audience frothing for
more…but Kwaicore is so much more than just music. Kwaicore is journey that one
can only travel barefoot. It is a sense of identity. It is freedom! Okay, so maybe I'm getting a bit carried away...let me rather describe the feeling that you get when allowing your speakers to vibrate to his mix. It's the same feeling you get when you find money in your jean pockets, you know that feeling that trumps world peace? Kwaicore is loud! It pulls you into its sound and keeps you there just long enough to allow your troubles to fall to the ground like petals doing a suicide plunge off a dying plant. It leaves you finding beats in footsteps, rhyme in the rain and sound in traffic. Think of Kwaicore as the urban heartbeat of Africa!
