Go Bold !!!!! Hunters Extreme Dj Search came to kriel town on the 11th of March at Lapeng Lifestyle lounge. The day saw 16 dj’s audition and battle it out for a spot in the top 5 for the event later that evening, with host Shugasmaxx catering to the crowd’s musical needs. Each dj was introduced as they took the stage to handle the decks, they were given 15 minutes to wow the masses with their skill. Dj Macdee kicked it off with some hyped up music and energy as Dj Sphetacula and Naves hosted a live show on Metro FM as the competition was rolling in the background. Dj Fanzo aka magichands was 2nd to spin the decks, the crowd was jamming to his hypnotic vibes. King Dj or “king ye gqom” as his fans and supporters refer to him, this young man is skilled when it comes to keeping the crowd dancing. Tukzin was lucky number four on the set playing some head bobbing tunes.
Dj Sgo the hip hop master was last to close the competition before the crowd voted for the winner, this man deserves an Oscar or some sort of award for mixing hip hop like the big dogs do it on the radio. After 5 rounds of spinning decks, the crowd had to decide who was the best of the evening and that honor went to none other than Dj Sgo for his amazing hip hop set. Later that evening Shugasmaxx took the opportunity to perform his latest single titled “Don’t worry about anything”, #KOTW lit up the stage shortly with an emphatic hip hop session and also performed their latest track called “I Do.” All round it was an amazing evening with Dj Sgo playing an extra set as the winner of the nights contest.

What better way to set the vibes, than with the young gun, Sir Nova the local favorite with his soulful sounds and upbeat tempo. Sir Ura soon followed and as our camera caught a glimpse of Sir Nova he was nodding in enjoyment, even
Goldenboys’ very own, Ezra was on point as always he delivered an even more powerful set than the previous year. We wonder why he smiles so much throughout his sets but none the less a dope set was played, you can’t beat Ezra at what he does because he does it the golden way. Dj Luu was alongside Ezra as he did his thing, these guys are a power duo when on the decks. Mlindo Kev is nothing short of PHENOMENAL!

of this young legend’s skill, we had the opportunity to have a word with the Big O and he shared some amazing facts and details in regard to his music, life and of course the Easterhangout. No one can mix like Fistaz Mixwell, I mean the name says it all its been a while since the masses heard the legend play. Might we add that he hasn’t lost his touch not even one bit. This years Easterhangout has been amazing and only time will tell how the next installment of this event will plan out, but we know it will be a showstopper
healthy tips 4 winter 2017
Boost your immunity throughout winter by consuming a range of fresh foods including green leafy vegetables. You can also boost immunity by taking a quality vitamin such as Echinacea, garlic, vitamin C and or Zinc. While many people will be happily saying good-bye to a long, hot summer and welcoming the new season, just as many of us will be dreading the cooler weather arriving. Winter is often given a bad rap as it brings with it the cold & flu season and those cold, dark mornings. However, with a little effort there is no reason for our health to suffer during the colder months! There are a number of things we can do to help keep ourselves and our family just as healthy, happy and active during winter as we are during summer.
1. Boost immunty It’s important to take care of our health throughout the year but during the winter months it becomes even more essential. Eating well, getting enough sleep and staying active are all important during winter to help keep you and your family healthy and to support your immune systems. Supplements containing herbs and nutrients such as echinacea, garlic, vitamin C, and zinc will help to support healthy immune function.
2. Keep moving
3. Eating well
While it’s a little harder to find the motivation to exercise when it is cold outside, remember that keeping active during winter is essential to support our health and wellbeing. Moving your exercise indoors during winter will help to keep you warm as well as fit and healthy. Be sure to spend time warming up before you start your exercise as it can take a little longer for your joints to loosen up in the cold weather.
As winter sets in it can be tempting to start eating more of those warm comfort foods that are often high in fat, salt and sugar. Instead, find comfort in foods such as warming and nourishing soups and stews full of flavour and healthy vegetables. Be sure your diet includes winter fruit and vegetables packed with vitamins and minerals such as sweet potato, green leafy vegetables, beetroot, kiwi fruit, mandarins, bananas, garlic and ginger.
4. Weight management
Ditching the exercise as well as the salads during winter can often lead to weight gain. While it may only be a small weight gain, it begins to add up as you get more and more winters under your belt! Although it’s tempting to hide behind those bulky winter clothes, by sticking to your healthy diet and exercise routine all year round, you’ll be much healthier in the long run and won’t dread the next swimming season with the kids!
5. Sleeping well
6. Skin health
Proper sleep (eight hours for an adult) can help keep the body's immune system healthy and fight off colds. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes as these substances can affect the quality of your sleep. Regular, moderate exercise, relaxation techniques and establishing a regular sleep routine may help to promote improved sleep.
The cold weather can affect our skin and contribute to conditions such as dry, itchy skin, chill blains and eczema. This may be due to the reduced humidity, drinking less water than you would during summer or possibly due to reduced circulation which may decrease the flow of blood and nutrients to the skin. Using moisturisers daily may help to keep the skin moist and supple whilst supplements containing vitamin E or garlic help assist blood circulation. If any of your family suffers psoriasis or eczema, try taking fish oils. These provide omega-3 which can help manage these itchy skin conditions. And don’t forget the sunscreen, it is important to remember we can still get sunburnt when the weather is cold!
7. Keeping bugs at bay
Although we can do a lot to support our health and immunity during winter it is not always possible to avoid catching a cold or flu. The viruses that cause colds are spread by sneezing, coughing and hand contact. Wash or sanitise your hands regularly and avoid close contact with someone who has a cold. Keep household surfaces clean as well as kids’ toys when someone in the family has a cold. If you are ill, be sure to drink plenty of fluids, including water, hot tea and soup. Avoid alcohol and caffeine and get plenty of sleep. Supplements such as vitamin C, zinc and echinacea may help relieve the symptoms and reduce the duration of a cold.
8. Stress and healthy mood
While stress is a part of everyday life, and some stress helps us to meet challenging situations, excessive amounts of stress may be linked to negative effects across a range of areas. Stress can lower the resistance to nasty bugs by depressing the immune system. Importantly, stress increases your need for dietary magnesium which is important for muscle and nerve function. Many of the B vitamins e.g. B1, B5, B6 and B12 are also needed for a healthy nervous system. The herb St John's Wort may help to relieve nervousness, irritability and help support emotional balance. It may also be beneficial to help promote healthy mood balance but speak to your doctor or healthcare practitioner before starting a supplement like this.
9. Circulation
During winter our hands and feet can often feel cold. Our hands and feet are at the extremities of our bodies which means they are the furthest from the heart which is pumping blood around our body to help keep us warm. Vitamin E and the herb Ginkgo help to support peripheral blood circulation, thereby alleviating cold hands and feet. Keep moving with gentle exercise to help improve circulation to the extremities of the body and don’t forget your socks and gloves! If you can’t seem to keep your hands warm (and it’s not bothering you excessively) take solace in the old saying “Cold hands, warm heart”!
10. Stay hydrated
Don’t forget to keep drinking water! As the weather cools down and our thirst decreases it is easy to forget to drink enough water. You still need to aim for about two litres/day of water during winter as it is essential for our body to function. If you struggle with plain water (like we do sometimes) try herbal tea. There are so many flavours available now that you’re sure to find some you enjoy.
