As most folks know, Jack Daniel’s has always had a special relationship with music. Some have even called it a love affair. Frank, Keith, Jimmy, Guns… the list of legends that have a special place in their heart for Jack is long and distinguished. Since day one, the Tennessee Whiskey has been back stage, on stage and at the after party, as much a part of music folklore as a Fender guitar or a Marshall amp. It’s in this spirit that the Jack Daniel’s Music Reporter is made. Every month the reporter goes behind the music to find out what makes some of South Africa’s hottest bands tick, as well as unearthing some new talent along the way; those young acts that have a fresh new slant on things, boldly going where no muso has gone before.
This month’s band: Niskerone
Niskerone is a world class drum n’ bass DJ that Cape Town can be proud of. Known for his infectious energy and technical prowess, Niskerone is a seasoned pro when it comes to getting a crowd into a dance frenzy, which is probably why he’s in demand all over the world, playing on the same bill as legends like Wu-Tang Clan and The Prodigy. If there’s a lesson to be learned from Niskerone, it’s that you should never stop improving and love what you do. Check out for the way he doesn’t stop dancing behind the decks!
