1 – Jack Parow – Cooler As Ekke (AM Stereo and The O-Men Remix)

“Check out Cape Town’s latest GEVAARLIKE Tech Hop beats, The O-men!–  Pic by M&N.

Cooler as ekke remix is a track about people who think they are cooler than Jack Parow. It was done by The O-Men and is basically “just a gevaarlike high energy party version of the track…its heavy fancy and next-level.”

2 – The Pretty Blue Guns – Stability

“The song is about how you gotta be pretty thick-skinned to live in a place like Cape Town. People often put up a front to avoid getting hurt, but often end up hurting others along the way. It’s a very strange mentality and I try to avoid those situations, but often their front is so good you don’t see it coming and then, bam! You’re left scrounging in the dirt for what’s left of your dignity. It’s a reminder to myself to be weary of those motherfuckers and also to be careful to not become one of those motherfuckers! More feel, less think. Also, it was a fitting title for how we feel about the album. It’s us doing exactly what we want. It represents growth in the form of doing something fresh that excites and stimulates you.–  Pic by Flyinghorse Photography.
