From Cape to Cairo or commonly known as the Pan-African Highway was a proposed road that would stretch the length of Africa, from Cape Town to Cairo. In the 1980s the proposed idea was to create a road that would essentially make it easy to connect, transport and communicate through the entire region. Now metaphorically what could be said is that in todays world everything we build in essence is with the intention to reach and connect with people on a global level.
Today guest, a city slicker, CEO and Head Of Talent for the Chaos Club Digital Africa with interests in music, tech and business education gives us an inside look into how a hybrid music company functions. More importantly we see how music and sound can become a staple and how the Chaos Club is imprinting their identity from Cape to Cairo and beyond.

Fungi Dube x Fungi Dube Graphics
In the modern day world most of what we see and what is communicated to us is done through branding. Now when we look at branding and marketing we are able to immediately identify what a product is and where it has come from through its texture and its general appearance. Most importantly what we are able to conclude is which brand it belongs to and the story behind it.
Bsc. Human Anatomy and Physiology & Biochemistry as well as a Creative Solopreneur by calling, Fungi Dube is a strategic, intentional, calculated and self-taught brand and visual identity graphic designer with 6 years of experience. A sunflower obsessor and a lover of African sunsets Fungi is an advocate for sustainable practices for the long-term. Passionate about sustainable packaging and elevating African packaging design systems whilst maintaining and retaining the richness of the African narrative, her work is heavily influenced by the delicate yet profound nuances that are embedded into African cultures like nature and natural elements, patterns, textures, historic writings, symbols and colour as a form of visual and global communication. Fiercely driven by passion she considers herself to be a delicate balance of process and creativity. This has led her to working with brands all over the world like Type Foundry, Rukundo Ikawa Gormet, Smart Mobility and Font Engineer just to name a few.

Tony Supreme x Soul Surge
The earliest forms of music are believed to be drum-based with percussion instruments being the most readily available at the time. Really if you think about it music is sound, sound creates the movement and the movement becomes life. Now if you put that altogether you have five different continents creating a multitude of subcategories of music which we all love.
Tony Supreme an award winning radio presenter, producer, artist manager and consultant takes us through the power of building a strong brand while also maintaining the right frame of mind to keep the energy high all around. Tony takes us through the importance of having a strong team around you that supports your vision and building a community around you that becomes more than just your audience.

Vintage Mozart Of AfricanNFTCommunity
In the fast paced modern world they say your new idea is only new before you voice it. Once you have released it it takes approximately 15 seconds for someone to think of an innovation and move it forward and that's modern day business for you. In this episode Vintage Mozart takes us through how modern day artists are positioning themselves to be profitable through multiple platforms as well as creative platforms accepting different forms of payment such as Crypto that allows Artists to shift from their customer base using exposure as a currency to building a real form of some wealth. We look at the importance in understanding the difference between having a large follower base and creating engagement with your audience. Leveraging your position in the market to make yourself profitable is a key in successfully navigating any space.
Most importantly we take a look at finding peace and comfort and being comfortable in a space that can be difficult to find your voice and make it be heard.
