Capetonian group Mix n Blend centers around the core of Jonathan Arnold and Kevin Ribbans, who have been mixing and blending since 2001. When deejaying they mash up different musical styles – but for their live sets, they lay down an hour of their own tracks off samplers with effects units, usually joined by various guest musicians. Local glitch producer Dank joined in 2008, culminating in the Look Mom No Hands debut album in November 2009, but has since left to pursue other projects.

With multiple releases on both local and international labels, including African Dope and Muti Music, today the group are two-time SAMA nominated musicians, still working through an eclectic palette of electronic styles. The two man DJ crew has also expanded for live performances, incorporating a three-piece horn section, guitar, keyboards, VJ, and MC EJ Von Lyrik. All in all Mix n Blend are about pushing boundries and sound, whilst making sure that people don’t lose sight of just having some good fun on the dancefloor.
