- "All by Myself" by ThiNXx made # 18 in the THE SOUND OF SOUP - OCTOBER TOP ALBUMS OF THE MONTH OF October 2014:
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yeah definitely; whenever I'm able to but not as much as I'd like.
The most special moment for me would have to be performing at the Johannesburg leg of the Sage Francis "Going Though Hell 2015" tour where I got to perform both as a DJ as well as my full 20 minute set opening for the man himself. Sage is one of my greatest mentors in music, so for me this was beyond mind-blowing!
