Texx and the City

Cape Town · ZA

Texx and the City is Cape Town journalist Tecla Ciolfi's site, running under the line Spotlighting Independent South African Artists. It publishes most days, mixing reviews, artist features, tour announcements and label news, and it stays close to the local scene instead of recycling international chart copy, with recent stories on Gauteng's DIY scene, Cape Town nightlife collective Rave for Revolution and 19 year old folk pop singer Alyssa Grace. Ciolfi spent years editing and running label relations at Deezer South Africa and hosts the Texx Talks interview podcast, so the site sits close to the industry as well as the artists. Publicists and unsigned artists reach the team through the contact form.
