Koldproduk - Club DJ - Johannesburg
They called themselves ‘Koldproduks’ because they
were not offered recording contracts and no one was
supporting them when they started their music
career.
It took them 16 months to produce their first album,
“All under heaven” because they wanted to take their
time. The album was a great success and its singles
Hush and Cape 2 Cairo became hits. The video for
Hush is seen as one of the best African music videos
in awhile.
They are part of Uproot Records. It was established
with purpose of empowering people through music,
stimulating creative arts, and celebrating our
diverse culture, cultivating off the streets of a
free nation.
Some of their songs include Roll up on it, When you
on top, This is how we ride, What's the message,
Hard hitter, Sweat, Smile once more, Watching you,
Espirit, Eyes Open All Under Heaven, etc |

DJ Koldproduk
Simba Bako was born 18
September 1981 in Buluwayo, Zimbabwe. At the tender
age of 9, this talented
young man was performing for friends and family.
Music was always an important part of his life
and he had a burning desire to leave his mark in
this challenging industry.
In 2000 he
moved from Zimbabwe to South Africa and started his
undergraduate degree at the University
of Natal, it was during these years that his love
for hip hop was rekindled. He completed
his degree and then moved to Johannesburg for his
postgraduate qualification, it was at this
juncture that he met Wayne Berger and Mic Mann and
the dream of Koldproduk was born.
Armed with a common goal of
producing international quality music for the South
African market these
idealistic individuals set out to conquer an
industry that they had no experience in, they were the
underdogs. The name Koldproduk thus perfectly
encompassed their foundation, and would help to
keep them grounded when they steadily built on their
successes. The first building block was the
release of their record breaking debut album ‘All
Under Heaven’. The album took two years to
produce and when it was finally released in 2007
caused a stir in the local hip hop industry. The
group of mavericks continued to amaze the industry
by daring to do things differently
and produced their debut music video ‘Hush’ before
the album hit the local market. The music video was an instant
success and was recognised both nationally and
abroad |

Since its
inception the group has undergone some changes, most
notably the addition of two talented
artists, T*Spark and DJ Soosh. The dynamic trio
offer a hip hop experience that is fueled by a genuine belief in
bringing about a positive change in those around
them. |

With a passion
for music and love for the craft of DJ’ing, DJ Soosh
started DJ’ing in 1997.He is heavily
involved in the art of turntablism (using the
turntable as a musical instrument) and this makes him more
than just a DJ who plays music but also a musician
in his own right. Not genre specific in
his approach to DJ’ing, he is influenced by many
styles of music such as hip-hop, funk, R&B, Neo
Soul, Motown as well as Drum n bass. With over 10
years of experience perfecting his
skills, DJ Soosh has undeniably earned massive
respect amongst those who have seen him perform as well as
those he has worked with. |
