Alfa / Binary

Come on, get in the car, let's cruise to LA and hang out with the Binary crew. They're throwing a mad party downtown with LexiconDon, Keenhouse and Alfa playing slam jams.

Let's focus on Alfa right now cause he's got a new release called Sky Patrol and it's actually Alfa's first original release since his songs that were on Binary's compilation, LA Lights.

Word on the street is he's been working with various singers, guitarists, and session players for his upcoming release so we can expect even more exciting things from LA's most exciting dreamwave crew...

Braai 4 Heritage

It's the 24th of September and the spring is alive in Southern Africa... It's Braai Day, a national celebration where everyone gets round the fire and fries their meats, eats and celebrates the upcoming summer!

Playmaker has been following this unique and rising scene in South Africa for while and we are proud to make this blog entree on the 24th of September. To find out more about this rising musical culture go check out Wat Kyk Jy en Woelang, homes of awesome South African vibes.

Now go drink some brandewyn and fry some meat by the campfire while blasting this jam, poes!
