So you know how I like to keep things fresh, yes?
Of course. Well over at naas they pretty much like to do the same which is why I champion their endeavours every now and again.
And so with this in mind, I’m very proud to announce that from today onwards I will be part of the naasMUSIC electronic media team.
Yes bitches, electronic.
If you’re not familiar with naasMUSIC and what they do, I’ve taken the liberty of introducing you to them below.
naasMUSIC is a facet of naas (a creative collaborative agency based in Cape Town) focused on music and performing artists of all genres with 2 divisions of naasMUSIC existing – namely electronic and live.
naasMUSIC is also more of a platform than a traditional record label:
- No artists will be signed to the naasMUSIC network, but instead, will sign individual project contracts if that particular project calls for such paper work.
- If an artist/band decides to join the naasMUSIC family they will have preferential access to all of naas’ facets and resources: FILM, MUSIC, PHOTOGRAPHY, DESIGN, COLLABORATIONS, FASHION, EVENTS.
- They, as a facet, offer management of artists, publicity (Public Relations) on their networks, and referrals of projects that naas receive as a whole.
- They will offer bookings on shows and tours and slots on naasEVENTS for artists that they feel will suit that particular show.
- They also encourage all artists who are a part of naasMUSIC to collaborate and work with other artists in the naasMUSIC family/network which will in turn lead to more diverse music and wider exposure.
- All music released will be posted onto each artist’s Soundcloud account respectively and will be reposted by naasMUSIC’s Soundcloud account.
- If an artist becomes a part of naasMUSIC they ask that the artist release either a single track or 2 or 3 track EP release to announce their place in the naas family.
So from this profile you’re probably thinking naas is a MAFIA. You’re not far off. Why do you think I joined them?
Enjoy this teaser track from Throwing Shade (musician/producer/dj who hails from London, currently working in SA) one of naasMUSIC’s premier acquisitions. naasMUSIC will be launching the full track on the 1st of April so be sure to check back here for more sonic goodness.
