Some highlights from the BFFxSL launch on 04 Sep @shelflifestore
Massive love to @tmssoundsystems for delivering a next-level experience on the night. Not only have they redefined what it means to listen, but theyâve also cemented South Africaâs sound system culture on the global map. Donât sleep on their journey â itâs only getting louder!
To the incredible artists who blessed the space with their sounds: thank you for channelling the spirit of the BORN FROM FILTH incantation. Your energy, presence, and artistry brought the vision to life in ways words canât touch.
And lastly, deep gratitude to @shelflifestore for welcoming us into your unreal space. The vibes, the warmth, the community. You made us feel at home. Weâre forever grateful. đ«¶

Graphic system for @plae_create ⌠used, unused, archived and repurposed.
An evolving visual system built through repetition, distortion, overprinting and instinct. Fragments pulled from event collateral, sticker studies, interface experiments and abandoned concepts, all contributing toward the broader visual language.
Nothing here was approached as a fixed identity system. More a living archive of visual matter. Shapes and marks continuously sampled, stretched, degraded and reintroduced across touchpoints.
Built slowly over the last year through continuous iteration.
Still expanding â
Some experimental type and graphic assets for @tmssoundsystems
Built the visuals for TMS Sound as a straight nod to midâlate 90âs sound system flyer culture, when posters were loud, gritty and fully DIY. Pushing texture, distortion and hand-drawn elements.
The approach leaned into expressive typography, marking and layered analogue grit. Building visuals that feel as physical and pressure tested as the rigs themselves.
@tmssoundsystems is rooted in Cape Townâs growing sound system culture, a solid crew building custom stacks and delivering heavyweight, chest rattling sessions wherever they land. Proper selector energy. Carefully tuned frequencies. Full-body listening experiences đ
A little late to the club on this one⊠but here we are â
