Here is the message off the event:
"Hey guys, please come to Room 8 on friday night to support some great accoustic songwriters and performers. I'll be playing my own songs (Naming James). No cover charge, bring your own booze (seriously). This is a really chilled little place with bean bags and couches. it's just upstairs, above the Mugg & Bean on 4th street in Melville (next door to Tokyo Star). See ya there :) "

Saturday 23rd Feb:
Come celebrate the success of recent Break-Beat production competition, hosted by Music 
Industry Online and IFT Audio on Saturday the 23rd of February at Tokyo Star in Melville.
Industry Online and IFT Audio on Saturday the 23rd of February at Tokyo Star in Melville.There were many amazing entries into the Bloc Rockin Beatz competition, and these entries need to be played on a dirty, club sound-system to truly be appreciated. All the entries will be played at Tokyo Star from 9:30 PM.
After that South Africa’s freshest Break-Beat duo, Twelv and Thesis will be playing one of their much talked about live sets. Twelv is an Ableton Live genius who’s self-produced Break Beat contains more energy than electro shock therapy. Thesis is an emcee with the ability to hype a crowd into a frenzy of 130bpm beats. Together they are guaranteed to do damage to the dance floor.
Blunted Stuntman will be closing the night with some of the best, most cutting edge Break-Beat tunes making waves around the world. The Stuntsman has always been a Break-Beat purveyor of note, making a name for himself at the legendary night club 206, moving to Cape Town and making a noise there, and finally ending up in Joburg working at Soul Candi by day, and tearing up dance-floors by night.
DJ Echo will be kicking the night off with some head-space Breaks to get you in the mood, so get there early.
Write up off the event. For more info:

Not to be missed!
Check this upcoming event:
"The Battle for Bakura"
Join us at Carfax on the 15th of March 2008 for a night that goes beyond. Red Moon Creations brings you an evening featuring a Japanese-style battle between DJs for musical dominance over the top underground genres. We will be giving away tons of free stuff, including all kinds of battle gear and shooters, so that you can all join in on the battle.
*****************
High in the mountains of ancient Japan, where tribes still rule the land, exists a place more sacred than any other. This place is said to be the centre of the universe, and the epicentre of all that has a beat. In the past centuries, many wars have been waged over this holy area, but until recently all had been peaceful.
Now there are rumours of a new battle brewing.
Two tribes, Miro from the North, and Zukuto from the South, have each staked a claim for ownership of this rhythmical land and are prepared to fight to the death. Twelve DJing warriors, six from each tribe, have been selected for their strength, ability in battle and musical dominance over their selected genre.
Years of training have brought them to this point, where the DJ warrior with the superior skill will win the greatest honour for their tribe: endless musical riches and knowledge from this mystical region.
High in the Shiduku Mountains, the battle for Bakura begins…
The Great Hall of Ping Mae will host:
Old Skool Mashup Battle:
Richard The Third VS Dog Show
