Carl Wastie called up Julia (Julz) Harding, lead singer of the band, to catch-up and to congratulate her on the new single entering the chart.

During the discussion, Carl found out about the band’s new recording studio, as well as the #BeatlesChallenge that they’ve embarked on – which sees them cover one Beatles song a month over the period of a year.

South African DJ/Producer DJ Mark Stent, aka “The World’s Strongest DJ” is as known for his uplifting and magnetic energy, just as much as his physique as the result of a background in competitive bodybuilding.

He’s got a new single out, which features Daniel Baron on the vocals called ‘Stereo’, and this past Saturday (3 Nov 2018), Carl Wastie called up Mark to find out more about the single.

During the interview, Mark revealed an EXCLUSIVE: that he and Daniel Baron would be forming a live electro act this December!

Known for songs such as ‘Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That’, ‘It’s Alright’ and ‘Zebra Horse’, South Africa’s premier ADM (or Acoustic Dance Music) act - Rubber Duc - is back with their first single in more than 18 months… the band’s self-penned and self-produced ‘Through the Night’.

The band's frontman, Nick Jordaan, joined Carl Wastie on the Coca-Cola Top40 SA to find out more.

Previously, Rubber Duc was awarded an Honorable Mention in the Folk/Singer-Songwriter category of the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) during 2017 - a massive accomplishment considering over 16,000 entries from 140 countries were received.

MTV EMA winning twins, Andrew & Brian Chaplin, aka Locnville are back with their latest single ‘Baloo’.

The new single, ‘Baloo’ is inspired by the Jungle Book, a logical progression from the electro-hop of their previous Gold certified single ‘Cold Shoulder’ and features a sax hook that is as infectious as the ‘bare necessities’.

On Sat, 20 Oct 2018, Carl Wastie caught up with one half of the twins, Andrew, about the new song, which is sure to be a Summer hit.

‘Baloo’ is the first release in a double salvo, with ‘Lemon Moon’ coming on November 2nd.

Videos for each track will go live on the 26th October and 9th November respectively.

South Africa has a new teen popstar! His name is Daniel Lurie, he’s 16 years old, and even so young, he’s worked with some big names in the industry – including Daniel Baron, and now, Mr Kwesta Ngud DaKar!

He chatted to Carl Wastie on the Coca-Cola Top40SA on Sat, 20 Oct 2018, about his new single, ‘Rain Dance’, which features Kwesta.

The track is all about having faith, as a human race, no matter your colour, age or creed, uniting in one prayer, one song and one dance, to overcome drought, negativity and pain, so that our own personal dreams can come true, and so our dreams as a nation can flourish together under the blessing of rain. Sounds like a song for Cape Town, Beaufort West, and the other drought stricken areas of the Western Cape!

Young South African pop sensation and winner of Idols SA season 13, Paxton Fielies has a new single – and the Coca-Cola Top40SA with Carl Wastie got the EXCLUSIVE first time play of the single, called ‘Where Are You Now?’ - the follow-up to 'Angifuni'.

Ahead of spinning the track, Carl Wastie called Paxton for a chat about the single and a general catch-up. During their chat, Paxton opened up about the cyberbullying she's incurred lately.

In a true heart-to-heart moment, Carl, who joins Paxton as the face of one of the Western Cape Education Department's antibullying campaigns, also spoke about his experience also being bullied and the two shared words of advice to anybody who finds themselves being the victim of bullying.

The winner of season 2 of The Voice SA, Cape Town musician, Craig Lucas, who hails from Elsies River, has yet another bragging right to add to his name: after 15 weeks on the Coca-Cola Top40SA, his latest single, ‘Hearts Exposed’ is the biggest song in the Western Cape.

Following a two-week battle against Martin Garrix and Khalid’s ‘Ocean’, Lucas finally made the number one spot this past Saturday (6 Oct 2018).

A guest of the show back in August, Amy Jones returned to the Coca-Cola Top40SA, just under 2 months later, as Carl Wastie called up the Paarl songstress to congratulate her and DJ/Producer duo, Cinimin on their latest award.

Following weeks of Carl encouraging listeners to vote for their song 'You & Me' in the Dance Music Awards South Africa’s Record of the Year category, it seems it all paid off, as they walked away with the award on Wednesday, 26 September 2018.

'You & Me' - Cinimin feat Amy Jones charted at no.30 on the Coca-Cola Top40SA on 29 Septembr 2018.

Supamega is back! Every hit this homegrown star touches, turns to gold – and his new single with Kiddominant is yet another example of this.
