2oceansvibe Radio recently launched our Melrose Arch Studio to much fanfare in Johannesburg. The launch of the studio was our way of answering the desperate cries of our many thousands of Johannesburg listeners who, since being liberated from Morkels ads, “hump days” and “no repeat workday” radio were craving a stronger taste of the Vibe.

Well, would you just look at that. The Hosh Tokoloshe, and his lovely stekkie, Jenna Pietersen, immortalised in black and white, kaalgat. Look at his face. Look at his moustache. So serene. So beautiful. How’s the serenity? You might remember that a large proportion of the 2oceansvibe staffers got their kit off for last year’s […]
Somewhat controversial, is old Jack Parow’s latest single entitled ‘Eksie Ou’ off his new album. It seems our boy is at it again, having a go at a number Cape Town institutions and people. From gym bunnies and hipsters to Kauai and Ice Models, nobody is safe from the sharp tongue of Parow’s favourite son. […]
So Jack Parow appeared out of nowhere at the 2oceansvibe Media compound last week, sporting a new afro. I can’t be absolutely certain, but I have a feeling his new look could be defined as “zef.” We flew radio control helicopters around The Compound for a while, during which time he explained to me that […]
As I stood there, mouth slightly ajar, listening to Bittereinder spew out lyrics of defiance and love at Oppikoppi, it suddenly hit me that what I truly loved about this eccentric band was its fearsome Afrikaans-ness. This was an unapologetic and proud Afrikaans band. What’s more, Bittereinder aren’t idiotic about it. They’re angry without being bitter, and they are proud without being supremacist about it. You don’t get that very often. And it got me thinking about the “roots” of the band that followed.
Enjoy this early-release version of a track by local muso, JR (of “Make The Circle Beega”) fame. The track, titled “Show Goes On” will launch officially this coming Friday. Die Heuwels Fantasties and Jack Parow make an appearance on the track. Nicely.
What’s in my bag? Free songs by new Cape Town band Holiday Murray, some fierce guitar sounds courtesy of The Pretty Blue Guns, and a remix of Jack Parrow’s “Cooler As Ekke” that will make you want to bust a move. Yes kids, Easter is here.
Yo yo yo, Captain Jack Parow has just released his newest video called “Byellville”. The video, directed by Duvand Durand and Thomas Ferreira, portrays the world of “Belville Cultue”, as seen through the lens of the somewhat strange musician.

Someone made a very good point today (following our coverage of Die Antwoord), stating that although I have mention Jack Parow and his song “Cooler As Ekke,” and even featured the TaxiJam version, I am yet to show the original music video on 2oceansvibe. Surely not? I had a little look around and, my God, […]
For those of you who don’t know about Jack Parow, this is the afrikaans rapper taking SA by storm. The guys is crafty and, what’s more, hilarious! He gives Carl Gorgens a run for his money and he is in full effect on Taxi Jam. Jack Parow’s phenomenal rise to fame was fueled by the […]
