Finally, we ready to roll... somewhat.



Here we are.

Webslinger Deejays goes online officially, if you consider that I had/have a few other website trying to promote it like www.geocities.com/webslinger as well as www.djrichie.tk more recently.

Please note, however the flash website is still currently under construction. Give me a little more time to complete.

KandiKru was a concept that began in the mid to late nineties with Damian, Russel, Ian and myself. We started out DJing at the time (myself being the more experienced then) at Bistro, a quaint little restaurant/bar with nightclub downstairs in the basement.

The place lost its touch through the years, but we were too happy to be there and play for the experience. At the time I spent more on getting exposure than actually actually getting paid. I purchased music and paid the rest of the guys from my own pocket. It was ridiculous, but I promised that I would not treat them the way I was when I first started in the industry.

When Bistro closed down, we turned mobile at selected places only. Purely because we wanted the same people to follow us. It was a small amount at the time, but they were loyal. Most of us will remember the days we had parties in my parents backyard just having a jol, Owen and his kak talk, Russel missing an eyebrow, damian with his smooth bek and poor Candice getting bowled by any and every man.

Shame, she couldnt breathe at times.

But any way, I wanted to revive that spirit of Kandi Kru. Kandi Kru meaning a lekker crowd (no pun intended, but that was the idea. Seriously)

Now I plan on doing so.

Online I hope to start a web community where you can chat online with others, purchase music, keep an eye on all events in your area, keep tabs on your favourite DJs (even those not affiliated with our kru. So get your DJ buddies to submit a profile to me) and simply create a lekker community.

My new crew of co-presenters for the Podcast and videocast are my crazy brother Sean and even crazier brother in law Ashley. Together we will higlight and film and document all things entertaining and fun in Cape Town.

We have already documented the Maxpower Unleashed at Killarney where we met some strange characters and enjoyed the racing and girls and cars and..... you get the picture.

Drop me a line and I shall provide you with a copy of the VCD for the day.

So there.

Thats what I am about. A lekker time, with lekker people and lekker chicks just living the lekker life.

So help me make your life a little more interesting.
