Four days ago, the only sound you could hear throughout South Africa was the sound of the Vuvuzela. As the countdown reached 0 and Fifa World Cup kick off was screened world-wide… it was a moment of pride and chaos. And it seems that June will be remembered as milestone month for those also off the field, where the piercing sounds of Vuvuzelas are instead the heart, soul and mind bending beats of filthy drum n bass. June 3 2010 was the night that Cape Town celebrated four years of drum n bass pandemonium – it was the fourth birthday of It Came From The Jungle – an weekly party driven by the prolific DJ Niskerone – Mark Stevens – who started these now legendary nights back in 2006 at Fiction night club on Long Street.
With the 2010 FIFA World Cup kick-off only 27 days away, things are heating up in Cape Town and our streets are already beginning to fill up with overseas fans eager to swipe some plastic and hand over notes all in a united love for the South Africa’s generous exchange rate. Diversity is waiting to be discovered, each corner promising new smells, sounds and tastes in abundance.
Working in a shop in Camden provides no end of entertainment. From street punch-ups, cross dressers and eccentric homeless people, to the crazy man who sits outside my shop every Thursday afternoon blaring out reggae from a ghetto blaster on his shoulder, there is never a dull moment.
