The MashUp is a music based podcast which focuses on the appreciation of music, particularly from South Africa. Hosted by Shakirah_Sky, recorded by Hiperdelic, the podcast aims to represent the unheard voice of artists by researching issues within the South African music industry, interviewing professionals and having an open flow of communication between artists, listeners and The MashUp. All while playing some dope local tracks.

Our goal is to create exposure for local music and to one day open up spaces where music can be appreciated by consumers and artists alike. The podcast is not genre specific, and encourages feedback. “I just started collecting music by local musicians and wanted to find a way to share it, I felt that there wasn’t a big enough platform for local artists so I took my love for music and now I’m trying to create a platform” says host, Shakirah Sky.

This week’s episode is all about the beat head, The MashUp talks about Cape Town’s latest and hottest beat showcase at Fiction, Audio Input, and also feature music by many local producers and MCs.
