Beyonce- Partition (explicit video)

I'm not sure if having a baby reignited Beyonce's sexuality but she just can't stop. 

This explicit video is possibly the most arousing 4 minutes you will ever watch. 

Also THAT ASS THOUGH.

Blood Orange- Cupid Deluxe

Everyone must know by now that Fani is seriously in love with Devonte Hynes of Blood Orange and his insanely good-looking girlfriend Samantha Urbani. Not only are they a spectacular couple aesthetically speaking, but they make amazing music together too. 

Dev released his second album under Blood Orange at the end of last year, and it is the fucking hottest thing we've heard to date. Not many people can go even bigger and better with their second album, but our boy Dev has managed to do just that.

Here are the first two videos off the album, for the singles "Chamakay" and "Time will tell". All dancing and styling is by Dev himself. What a man...

So we suggest you go change your boring lives right fucking now and get a hold of this album. Trust us.

Chelsea Blakemore- Beatenberg

Beatenberg is the most loveable band in Cape Town composed of Ross Dorkin, Matthew Field and Robin Brink. Today, we-are-awesome released the video for their new single Chelsea Blakemore and it does not disappoint. The song's been doing well already but this video should make it. It screams Kope/Figgins in the best possible way, making the boys look slick as fuck. 

Here are our favourite moments of the video

The initial awkward dance moves

Rob being sensual

Ross being distressed about mowing the lawn at night

There are

no

words!

When the dancing gets less awkward and more crazy

When we get up close and personal with Matt's armpit (and mole) in the background

Whatever this is, it's great.

And the final act of LOVE.

Here is the actual video. You'll love it

Directed by: Kope/Figgins

Things promise to be fun, loud, silver, space, slutty, drunk, wet, dry, rave, foreign, local, cracky, holographic, lazer, bass, white, smoke, body rock, 90's into 2000's, unisex, multisex, sweat sweat SWEAT.

This video probably describes it best

RAVE from Martin Magner on Vimeo.

If this hasn't convinced you then this should.

THERE WILL BE RAVE BURGERS, RAVE LATTES AND RAVE CAPPUCCINOS AT THE CLUB.

That's right for once in your life when you order a cup of coffee at the bar, you won't be laughed at (thanks alot Assembly). And there's no need to starve yourself and end your night in the Mcdonalds line of shame.
Treat yourself to a burger on the dancefloor.

Tyra best illustrates our feelings about one of our biggest dreams coming true

Snow Wite

There is a man who lives in Los Angeles with beautiful hair and who makes the best psychedelic pop-rock I've ever heard. His name is Andy Rock 'n' Roll and his band is called Snow Wite. This is them. 

Perfection, amiright?

They released a video yesterday for their single "Luv U Like Limeade" and I am so stupidly excited about it. It is 100% my Summer anthem (because Summer is almost here and it's time for a new "anthem" guys!"). Watch and fall in love instantly. (Oh, and it features an appearance by everyone's favourite child star Amanda Bynes...)

Listen to more of Snow Wite here and follow Andy Rock 'n' Roll on Twitter here...

Dark Arrow- Cave Swoon ft Push Push & Comfy Hammocks

By now you should all know this guy (Marc)

And if not for the fact that he once tried to pour Jagermeister down your throat, then maybe cause he raps under 30 different names/groups but has recently launched what promises to be some of the most interesting music coming out of Cape Town:
oh!dark arrow

seriously just go listen to his shit here

Last week he finally collaborated with BMK's First Lady Nicci St Bruce (just stare at this picture for awhile till your eyes water)

Nicci has been writing raps since she was 9 (early bloomer in rapping, late bloomer in other things) and then procrastinated 100000 years but is now finally ready to be heard as Push Push.

And trust me when it comes to her, you want to keep track of what she releases cause judging by the private performances I've gotten this promises to be GOOD. And not white girl who;s into hip-hop good, I mean actually good.

And because no party is a party without Cape Town's favourite Jew we have Jake Lipman featuring as Comfy Hammocks

Listen to Cave Swoon here and be converted.

Untamed Youth: Gateway Drugs

Oh look it's Tuesday again and the week-end already feels so far away that the fact that you got drunk Saturday is now a distant memory which crappy Monday overshadowed because all your stress is back and the urge to drink is once again overwhelming (it's not a problem till you're 30)

Thankfully there is something to do on a Tuesday so you're not sitting in Bob's/Kimberley getting picked up by alcoholics your father's age who seem appealing due to the lack of excitement and the petrol you're drinking

UNTAMED YOUTH: GATEWAY DRUGS

Gateway Drugs has quickly become one of those bands which truly don't need an introduction but just in case you haven't heard of them (which you really should have, even 5FM has caught on) here are some of their songs

I'm gona stop loving you

Pop song 3

You're probably really into them right now so you might as well donwload their album here

Now that you've heard it you probably wana see what these guys look like so do yourself a favour and watch this

HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH YET?! LOOK AT THEM BEING ADORABLE

Cool you're convinced, so get out of bed and come to fiction to fall in love in da club or whatever it is people do these days. 

There's also about 50 birthdays being celebrated tonight so chances are someone will think you're part of one of the parties and you'll drink for free.

CAPE TOWN- MEET WERNIE

I'm not going to lie to you, I watched this back to back last night in hysterics, awe and wonder. Werner is one of those people who moved out of Cape Town, but when he is here on holiday you know. Even if you're like "Werner who?", you know when he's around. He has a gang of some of the coolest bitches loyally in love with him, he's been spotted cooking out at parties with his face painted red, and his wardrobe belongs in an art gallery for your veiwing pleasure. And he made this video. I'm assuming Werner has mad love for Madge, and that's more than okay with us. This is my favourite video of 2013 so far. Thank you Wernie!!

(STARS) LEMONADE MOTHER FUCKERS

Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Sacrilege

I'm not 16 anymore but I have to admit that Karen O's voice still does things to me.

 The Yeah Yeah Yeahs released a video for their new song "Sacrilege". Sex and revenge seem to be the trend. 

Nothing will ever compare to this (still makes me feel like a hormonal mess and dying to start a rock band)

But this ain't half bad
