Hypoestes - United Identities: Radio Tour - 27th November 2022

Mandy Alexander aka Hypoestes is a DJ, online radio host and writer hailing from the Mother City, Cape Town, SA. Hypoestes is an all-encompassing music devotee with a journey that began on the dancefloor. Through her curiosity for the energy emitted through underground dance music, she began to research and unpack the roots of house and techno music. By regularly attending house and techno events, she became a necessary voice in initiating critical conversations surrounding the marginalisation and inequalities within Cape Town’s electronic dance music scene. She has published work on Dweller, Beatportal and Resident Advisor. Hypoestes currently hosts a monthly radio show called “An Open Letter To” on the Cape Town-based online radio station Hamshack Radio. She also held a three-month residency called “Liner Notes” on the Bristol-based 1020 Radio which showcased South African electronic dance music.
