Lloyd Ross (founder/owner Shifty Studio/Records) and Warrick Sony (partner Shifty Studio/founder Kalahari Surfers)

Throughout the turbulent Eighties Shifty Records forged an uncompromising, if solitary, trail through the South African music business. Founded by avid music fan, Lloyd Ross, the studio and its accompanying label was responsible for creating a tsunami of original independent music that reflected both the musical and social revolution happening on the streets. In this episode Lloyd, accompanied by longtime friend and compatriot, Warrick Sony, takes the listener on an often-hilarious joyride through the highs and lows of Shifty, featuring the music of the likes of Happy Ships, Corporal Punishment, Gereformeerde Blues Band, Sankomota, Kalahari Surfers, Cherry Faced Lurchers and many more.
