Drum and Bass in Cape Town
Al-John (Hyphen) has been a drum n bass DJ for over 20 years and hosts the longest running D&B FM radio show in Southern Africa. We love the art form and wanted to share the small community we have going on in Cape Town.
Drum & Bass Radio
Hyphen hosts the Sublime Drum & Bass Show every Tuesday night at 10pm on Bush Radio. You can tune in via 89.5FM or via the Bush Radio website.
Drum & Bass Concerts
There is no dedicated D&B club, but rather promoter brands who consistently deliver the best South African talent combined with hosting international artists. Here are the latest events for 2026, as well as a log of previous events:
