Kfm Top 40 with Carl Wastie | #KfmTop40 Podcast

Locnville are back - and not just with new music... the Chaplin brothers, Andrew and Brian, have relocated back to Cape Town following a stint in Jozi and abroad in the USA.

The twins joined Carl Wastie on the Coca-Cola Top40SA on Saturday, 23 November 2019, to chat about their brand new single, 'Little Less Liquor' which features Milnerton's very own Anica Kiana - someone who is no stranger to the chart after her fans managed to secure her an interview and get her debut single, 'Talk', charting on the #CokeTop40CT.

As next year commemorates 10 years of Locnville, Carl decided to test Locnville on their decade of works - playing them a second of previous hits to see if they could name the song - and threw in some curveballs, which they boys handled pretty well.

On Saturday, 16 November 2019, Sam and Claire of No Method joined Carl Wastie on the Coca-Cola Top40SA to chat about their new single.

The latest offering called ‘I Like To Party’ is a feel good and upbeat dance track – just in time for Summer.

Featuring RPS (which stands for Rock Paper Scissors) - another one of Sam's groups, the single has a disco influence throughout the song, with a funky vibe sure to get you up on your feet dancing.

On Saturday, 16 November 2019, Paxton dropped into the Kfm 94.5 studio for a catch-up with Carl Wastie on the Coca-Cola Top40SA - as well as the chance to play her brand new single, 'No Distractions', which was released the day prior.

For the new single, Paxton, who hails from Cape Town's very own Bishop Lavis, joined Dr Moruti in his studio in Shoshanguve, and the track sees Paxton celebrate an evolution in her music and unveils a bold, new, yet authentically South African sound.

During the interview, the former Idols winner revealed some of the strange gig requests she's been asked to do - revealing which gigs are a definite no - as well as confirmed that she's dead keen to perform for the #KFCProposal couple as the bride walks down the aisle. She also shared her inspiration for 'No Distractions' and spoke to us about the process of recording it.

On Saturday, 9 November 2019, Cape Town musician, Chad Saaiman, joined Carl Wastie on the Coca-Cola Top40SA to chat about his latest single, 'Are You Down', which features Mariechan of Jamali and 'Please Mr' (Shekhinah) fame.

During the interview, Chad revealed how often his name get mispronounced - and it turned out that Chad was not the only person who suffers with this, as Carl Wastie also recalled a failed attempt one of the security guards, who was also a fan, called him on his first day of work at Kfm 94.5.

Carl took the opportunity of having Chad in-studio to test Chad on some of his own songs, by playing a few split seconds of a random section of a song and seeing if he knew which track it was. Despite a massive curveball thrown into the mix, Chad showed that he knows his stuff.

Whilst talking about the new single, Chad mentioned how he and Mariechan met - and you're never gonna believe it... on Coca-Cola Pop Stars back in the day, when 101 (pronounced "One-Oh-One") - who's debut single was 'Who's It Gonna Be' - won the reality singing competition that found talented individuals from across the country and created a group with them.

Following his success of his sophomore album ‘Critical As Water’, Jeremy Loops has returned with his brand new single, ‘What Would I Know’.

On Saturday, 12 October 2019, Carl Wastie called Jeremy up on the Coca-Cola Top40SA to chat about his latest offering.

Loops is currently in the UK, following a break in Cape Town, where he is recording new music and writing with some of the industry's best.

During their chat, Jeremy explained to Carl how incredible it was when the Rolling Stones pitched up in the recording studio right next to him, the previous day (Fri, 11 Oct 2019) - and also hinted at working with a major heavyweight in the UK.

His also explained how his new single is about how we’re often our own worst enemies and explained the need to stay focused.

Written by Jeremy Loops and one of Eminem's writing collaborators, Truancy/Erik Alcock, during Jeremy’s European Summer 2019 festival in Berlin, ‘What Would I Know’ was produced in the UK with Will Hicks, who worked on Ed Sheeran’s ‘Perfect’. The song features Jeremy’s signature sound paired with progressive, modern sensibilities.

Whilst Jeremy will be in the UK the next few months, he will be back in Cape Town again on 1 Dec to perform at Parklife in Muizenberg.

From the man that brought us ‘Where Did You Go? (Summer Love)’ – we have a brand new anthem for the Summer, called ‘Summer Life’!

The man in question, Regi (aka DJ Regi aka Regi Penxten).

This past weekend (Saturday, 5 October 2019) on the Coca-Cola Top40SA, Carl Wastie called up the Belgian DJ-producer, who happens to spend quite a bit of time in South Africa, to find out about his new single, which features vocals from Jake Reese & OT.

During their chat, Regi revealed just how much he loves South Africa - and the Western Cape in particular; as well as the immense pride he felt the first time he heard ‘Where Did You Go? (Summer Love)’ playing on South African radio, explaining that he was driving through Sea Point, tuned in to Kfm 94.5 and all of a sudden, he heard his single. 

Carl and Regi also spoke about possible collab opportunities for local vocalists on the Belgian's future projects and by the end of the conversation, it sounded like the two had an appointment for the next time Regi is in South Africa.

Kfm Mornings' Darren Simpson got a surprise call from Carl Wastie on the Coca-Cola Top40SA on Saturday, 28 September 2019, to let him know that his current favourite song - a song that he has played every single morning on Kfm Mornings to garner support from listeners - had finally made it to number one on the chart.

The song in question: Tones & I's 'Dance Monkey', which kicked Kygo & Whitney Houston's 'Higher Love' off the top of the chart, where it had gotten pretty comfortable after 2 weeks.
