Diamond Thug

While the name may cause you to think of three large tattooed men, the band actually only consists of two, rather-small, tattooed men, Danilo Queiros and Adrian Culhane, and a very lovely lead lady: Chantel Van T. An intricate, but seemingly effortless, mix of electronic synths with live instruments. Mesmerizing vocal melodies flirt with dark bass-lines and hip-hop influenced drumbeats.

Momentss

Momentss, short for Motheo Moleko & The Space Section, is a four-piece from Cape Town, South Africa. Influenced by African music, funk, and hip hop, the band believes hip hop music can be as musical as any genre and deserves to be showcased on any stage, regardless of scale. Motheo, who fronts the band, got his start in the SA music industry by helping form the Jeremy Loops project (as seen in one of the videos linked to in this form). With that act established and growing rapidly, Momentss is his latest project alongside drummer Asher Gamedze, guitarist Rob Scott, and bassist Daniel Bruce Gray.
