Who Killed JR? remix Die Heuwels Fantasties’ song ‘Our Heritage’
“I think the our Heritage remix is probably one of the most banging things I’ve ever heard coming out of SA!” – Hunter Kennedy [Die Heuwels Fantasties]
Who Killed JR? is the remix project of David Anderson, composer and law student, who predominantly produces under the alias Next Of Kin with wingman James Smith. Who Killed JR? was born during the preparation of Next Of Kin’s live set for the 2009 Vice Magazine launch in Johannesburg where the duo decided to remix Daft Punk’s Robot Rock and Dire Straight’s Money for Nothing … it was a crowd pleaser – and so a monster was created.
Our Heritage Remix
‘Our Heritage’ by Die Heuwels Fantasties ft. The Soweto Gospel Choir, HHP & JR was composed for the Braai4Heritage Foundation to serve as the anthem for National Braai Day falling on the 24th of September annually. To enable a broader demographic to enjoy this anthem Who Killed JR? remixed Our Heritage for the Braai4Heritage Foundation in a style which can only be described as “french crossover” popularised by french record label Ed Banger Records. The reaction far exceeded expectation.
“The remix to me is something really special and kind of makes me feel the way I felt when I heard Justice for the first time. Otherwise i love the idea of a mashup like this being pushed into a totally new direction by Who Killed JR..luvit!” – Pierre Greeff [Die Heuwels Fantasties]

Introducing the Captain Stuvuzela
Cape Town band Captain Stu have come up with a genius invention, the Stuvuzela, a vuvuzela that you can also drink beer out of. Wild! This what it says on their blog:
You know when you’re blowing away on your vuvuzela in an attempt to brutally shred the eardrums of all the innocent tourists who we aren’t allowed to sell football paraphernalia to and you think to yourself, ” Man, I wish that instead of blowing a vuvuzela right now I was sipping on an ice cold beer!”? Well here’s the solution. The official Captain Stuvuzela is a sturdy, plastic, B-flat horn that converts within seconds to a 500ml beer mug. They are available in 6 freaking sweet colours, are dishwasher safe and are the official vuvuzela of the Fifa 2010 World Cup. We’ll be selling them at all of our shows and if we sell enough we might be able to pay the bail when we get arrested for writing Fifa 2010 World Cup without their permission…
Visit their site, www.captainstu.co.za, to see when their next gig is so you can get your very own stuvuzela.
