Basic Training Sessions 001We're taking back the city. Hip Hop like it's supposed to be done.
---------------------------
Pioneer Unit is launching an all-out offensive in the form of a bi-weekly club night to win back the hearts and minds of Capetonians, re-tuning their ears to the best the Cape Town and global hip hop scene has to offer: Basic Training Sessions.
The dance floor will be bumpin' with a diverse selection of the freshest global and local hip hop. The night will be 'curated' and hosted by one of South Africa's most respected hip hop veterans, DJ Raiko. We will have bi-weekly roster of guest DJs, producers and emcees, all carefully selected for their creative and technical skills. Naturally Pioneer Unit will be in full effect with your favourite artists and producers in residence.
What makes Basic Training Session unique is the live hip hop elements such as turntablism, live producer beat-making sets, live bands and, of course, emcees. These elements will be seamlessly integrated into a Jamaican-style DJ session to create a non-stop entertainment experience.
