Stories from behind the decks — music culture, release breakdowns, event insights, and the people who shape the EOA sound.
In a world of playlists, algorithms and 30-second previews, Elements Of Art still believes in giving music time. A mixtape asks you to stay — and there's somewhere we're trying to take you.
Behind the MixNot every moment behind EOA 025 went according to plan. At around 37:21, one of the CDJs suddenly jammed — and what could have stopped the mix became one of the memories attached to making it.
Behind the MixEvery release starts with a feeling. EOA 024 is a Mzansi NeoSoul mix — born from the soulful sounds of home, blending local flavour with deep, emotive grooves. Here's how it came together.
Music CultureFrom the underground clubs of Braamfontein to the rooftop sessions in Sandton, Johannesburg's deep house scene has always had its own heartbeat. We explore what makes this city's sound so distinct — and why it keeps evolving.
CollaboratorsVisual identity is as important as sound. For every EOA release, the cover art tells its own story. We sat down to talk about the creative process behind the visuals — how colour, texture, and composition mirror the music inside.
Events & BookingSet duration, sound requirements, travel logistics, and reading the room — booking the right DJ is more than just a name on a flyer. Here's a practical guide from the perspective of someone who's played everything from intimate private functions to large corporate events.
Music CultureBefore it was a genre tag, it was a feeling. Soulful house carries the DNA of gospel, jazz, and rhythm & blues — filtered through the dancefloors of Chicago and New York, then reimagined for the South African context. A brief history.
ReflectionsPatience. Listening. Knowing when to hold a groove and when to shift the energy. After 20 years of DJing across Johannesburg and beyond, uLinda reflects on the lessons the dancefloor has taught — and what still excites him about every new set.
