🇿🇦 • Cashmere Thoughts presents Malik Venna, Yussef Dayes, Elijah Fox ((live at the Basement))

We are proud to host a first of its kind moment in Johannesburg. For the first time, the London collective / label Cashmere Thoughts (@cashmere.thoughts.records) brings its artists together for a two night live showcase in the city.

🔌🎨: @snalo_

Malik Venna (@vennagram), is a Grammy Award winning alto saxophonist and producer. He gained prominence playing on albums by Burna Boy and Beyoncé before releasing his debut studio album MALIK in 2025, featuring collaborators like Jorja Smith and Yussef Dayes. This self-titled debut carries a warm, expansive sound shaped by jazz, rap, and R&B.

Elijah Fox (@elijahfox) is a Los Angeles based multi-instrumentalist, pianist and producer whose playing drifts between jazz, soul and impressionist textures. His style varies from low-fi to hip hop, neo-soul, and even veers toward trap and rock.

Yussef Dayes (@yussefdayes), is a South East London drummer, composer and producer whose sound moves between jazz, Afrobeat, funk and hip hop. His collaborations and debut solo album Black Classical Music has marked him as one of the defining voices in contemporary jazz, especially in the UK.

Also on the bandstand is powerhouse percussionist Al B (@carlos.alexander___), and Jacob McGibbon (@jacobmcgibbon), a young Canadian guitarist currently touring with Yussef Dayes.

On the decks:
Dj Kenzhero, (@therealdjkenzhero) is one of the pioneers of the South African Hip Hop DJ Scene. For decades he has been infusing Jazz, Soul, Funk, Samba and Hip Hop to move audiences across the globe. His latest release, “What is Wrong with Groovin’” is an acclaimed jazz record.

Expect an intimate room, close listening and two nights that will not be repeated.

Tickets are now live on Quicket (link in bio) taken in UntitledBasement by @snalo_

My dreams are never ever lost. ✨

Earlier this year I journaled that I would love to do something for @kokorokomusic really magical to see it happen.

Their music means so much to me, so this felt incredibly full-circle. And after connecting with them, I can say they’re just as wonderful as the music they make.

Feeling very grateful, very inspired, and very excited for what’s ahead.

And seriously, everyone should see Kokoroko live at least once. ❤️ taken in Johannesburg, South Africa by @snalo_

A little late, but last month with the @blackmarketflea family celebrating 5 years. ❤️🎉

I’ve been lucky enough to create with them for 4 of those years. Grateful for the trust, the creative freedom, and the community they’ve welcomed me into along the way.

Had the absolute honour of contributing the typography for @yussefdayes Experience – Live From Cape Town. 🇿🇦

I’m such a huge fan of everyone involved, and it’s hard to put into words what an honour it was to play a small part in something so powerful. Music really has a way of bringing people, cultures, and stories together.

Hearing the @thanda.choir sing in my native language made the whole experience even more meaningful. ❤️

Massive love to @vennagram @rocco_palladino @carlos.alexander___ @jacobmcgibbon @elijahfox @rorycashmere

Directed by the INCREDIBLE @tj.saw1 🏆 and executive produced by the amazing @chlomoolala.

Forever grateful for this opportunity. ✨🥹 taken in Cape Town, South Africa by @snalo_
