South African pop artist Matt Gardiner is back with a bold new single, TROUBLE (Want That) out now. Blending shimmering 80s synths, punchy indie-pop guitars, and brass from UK trumpet player Dan Newell, the track was produced and co-written by Alex Copp alongside Erin Gardiner. It leans into the magnetic pull of a relationship you know is a bad idea and the thrill of leaning in anyway. I sat down with Matt to talk about the story behind the song, working with British musicians on the track, and what's next on his journey toward a globally relevant pop sound.

Yolande Maartens gesels in die KunsteKlop met Nic Beukes, Lorenzo Dampies & Anke Malan. Ná ’n kort draai by ’n verlate gebou bevind ’n familie hulself vasgevang in ’n onontkombare nagmerrie. Hulle word dieper in ’n doolhof van geheime en skaduwees getrek en moet veg om te oorleef tydens ’n nag van terreur wat dreig om hul liefde uitmekaar te skeur. Maar met elke nuwe openbaring begin die lyn tussen rede en waansin vervaag en dié wat eens vertrou is, word vyande wat binne die duisternis van die doolhof skuil. https://vrystaatkunstefees.co.za/produksies/die-doolhof/

Yolanda Maartins gesels met Dirk Badenhorst van die Mzansi Ballet. ’n Vertelling van Elvis Presley se lewe waarin sy mees bekende treffers gevier word, met dansers van Mzansi Ballet en sangers Frederick Fourie en Patience Mahema. Ballet en rock-’n-roll word gemeng in hierdie ballet wat die kompleksiteite van Presley se persoonlike lewe ondersoek, met verwysing na sy militêre diens, wat in die titel Private Presley weerklink, en sy hegte verhoudings met veral die vroue wat sy lewe en musiek sterk beïnvloed het. https://vrystaatkunstefees.co.za/produksies/private-presley/

Yolanda Maartens gesels met Jefferson J. Dirks-Korkee oor sy 2 vertonings by die Vrystaat Kunstefees die jaar. Huis van Sand vertel van Babs en Sandy wat leef op die leftovers van hul verlede. Hul klein karavaan is ’n pondokpaleis vol geheime – hul eie sandkasteel. Sandy het haar swerwersbestaan langs die N7 verruil vir ’n nuwe begin by Rodney, die bottel gebêre om Babs groot te maak. Maar daarmee saam het groeipyne en erfsondes gekom. Babs probeer haar herinneringe afwas, maar die stofstorms van die verlede haal haar telkens in. Hul onthou neem die gehoor op ’n verbeeldingsvlug waar grense begin vervaag. https://vrystaatkunstefees.co.za/produksies/huis-van-sand/ ‘n Nuwe Afrikaanse toneelstuk deur Nico Scheepers ondersoek die brose grense tussen familie, geheue en oorlewing. Wanneer Stefan onverwags hoor dat sy ouers op pad is – ná jare se halfsinne en ontwykende kontak – word sy noukeurig gekonstrueerde lewe stilweg ontwrig. Dit is ’n skerpsinnige en herkenbare blik op erfenis … nie net van grond of besittings nie, maar van liefde, skuld en verwyt. Met fyn waarneming en donker humor ontbloot LEEFBAAR die Afrikaner se byna bonatuurlike vermoë om in stilte te oorleef. https://vrystaatkunstefees.co.za/produksies/leefbaar/

The excitement in Bloemfontein is palpable as the second round of the prestigious Toyota Challenge kicks off this afternoon.
