* '''DJ Richard tha IIrd'''
  
For some time now he has been interested in creating home-grown mashups. A mashup is a combination of two or more tracks of different genres and/or moods mixed together to create something new. While many mashups are noisy and irritating, artists such as Danger Mouse, Too Many DJs and DJ Prince have recieved much respect for their clever incongruant mixes. So far Rich has made a few mashups, taking alternative South African tracks and mixing them with more commercial international music. An example would be his combination of Felix La Band's 'Donkey Rattle' mixed with Michael Jackson's 'Startin Something' - two completely different tunes that actually work brillianty together. Richard will be discussing, demonstrating and playing his own brand of South African mashup.
