It is not thought that music existed on Earth until early Man developed, aside from the natural rhythms and melodies made by the workings of the cosmos, of course. And although the Earth-shaking growls of some of the dinosaurs were quite bassy, such sounds could not really be considered music in any traditional sense. Then humans came along and started warbling, tapping hollow logs and drumming on their spouse's heads, and with this, intentional music was born. However, prehistoric man was not quite intelligent enough to grasp the complex subtleties of the bass, so it was not something they paid much in mind. In fact, their music didn't really get past the "hitting things with sticks" stage for several thousand years, when the first ancient civilisations started to develop. Although historians believe some of the fatter people they beat may have made sounds that could be approximated to bass. These days the sweet sound of bass has found a home in the Cape Town House scene and with Events such as TouchBass around the bass will continue to grow through the ages!
This time round the event will feature 2 Dance floors, each showcasing different generations of Djing and Sound. I remember attending a winter edition of this event last year and it served up some good and bad memories but mostly all good. It was probably the last time I really partied with good ol'
Lallo so it would definitely go down as a fond time.
This year I'm seriously looking forward to the vinyl floor addition, which should serve up a delightful sound of raw crackling of which the likes of the digital sound just cannot match (
my own opinion), don't get me wrong I love the new school sound but like they say, "There's no school like old school".
In saying that you can find me frequenting both dance floors on the evening as I cannot be selfish and deprive my ears to the pleasure of all things HOUSE MUSIC!
It's all going down at
The Imperial this weekend July 4th.
