D️AY 1 – BENJAMIN

“My dream is for my music to grow bigger than me and to bring South African culture to the world. I want to be happy and financially free.“

Formerly known as (NOTBENJAMIN) is the epitome of selflessness. His name signifies a commitment to focusing on others, uplifting them through his music and platforms like $TREETFE$T, a nationwide hip-hop event aimed at giving a stage to up-and-coming artists. $TREETFE$T was born out of Benjamin’s desire to help artists who lacked financial backing. His innovative use of “creative currency” a system where artists trade favours instead of money has been a game-changer in SA’s music scene, showing how collaboration can “push culture”. As he grows, NOTBENJAMIN is beginning to share more of his personal journey, introducing the world to BENJAMIN – who he is beyond the music. His advice to artists: “Consistency will bring out the quality. Prioritise it.”

Overcoming obstacles in his childhood, Jedd turned his struggles into fuel for his creativity. His music is an outlet, a form of expression that keeps him grounded and he uses his platform to inspire others, even if it is one person at a time.

The show opened unexpected doors, and Austin soon found himself hyping crowds, teaching choreography, and even working with the Springboks on the World Cup Trophy Tour. One of his defining moments came when he was invited on stage at a LOFI concert. What started as a spontaneous performance turned into a full-fledged career.

FIRESIDE TAKEAWAY

If there’s one thing I’ve observed from the incredible artists who joined us around the “fire” for our Fireside Session, it’s that they share a common thread: a passion for uplifting their communities through art and music. These artists have taught us that creativity thrives on community. Fireside Sessions with Volkano celebrates the power of music to connect, inspire, and uplift. Whether it’s around a literal fire or one metaphorically fueled by passion… these moments remind us of the beauty in shared stories and the strength in shared dreams.

There’s something truly magical about human beings when we open ourselves up to learning from one another – whether through music, art, or simply a caring spirit and a collective willingness to strive for something better. Fireside Sessions are about lifting young, upcoming artists who are making waves in South Africa and dreaming of reaching international shores. It’s about coming together to express our passions and push boundaries.

So, what will your Fireside Session look like? Will you host your own jam session, discover new artists, or even start your own creative movement? Whether big or small – maybe in your living room, backyard, or at an event you host!

Spread the love, passion, joy, and art all around. As Benjamin so eloquently put it, let’s all start #PushingCulture.

Golden Moments and Music That Moves You 🎧🌅

Golden Moments and Music That Moves You 🎧🌅

Life isn’t just about the big milestones; it’s about those little moments that sneak up on you and make everything feel just right. Like that first bite of a perfect cinnamon roll, or an old friend calling to catch up and check in on you, or when you press shuffle, and the right song plays at the right moment. Music just makes life so much better!

That’s where Volkano’s upcoming audio range comes in; designed for the real ones, living life and making lasting moments. Even if you’re blocking out office noise with noise-cancelling earphones for work, setting the vibe for a sunset session with wireless speakers for outdoor fun, or just getting lost in your favourite playlist, there’s something here to bring joy to your routine.

Now, you are probably asking, how can these products actually make a difference in our lives?

1. The ‘Morning Motivation’ Moment ☀️

We all know the struggle—your alarm goes off, and suddenly, getting out of bed feels like climbing Mount Everest. You’re wrapped up in the best sleep of your life, but reality is knocking and screaming (“It is time to wake your a** up!”). Maybe, just maybe, your feel-good morning playlist can pull you out of that haze.

 

That’s where over-ear headphones for music lovers come in. With rich sound and all-day comfort, these let you start your day with just the bit of motivation you need.

2. The ‘Escape the Office Noise’ Moment 🏢

There’s always that one coworker—the one who types like they’re punishing their keyboard, or the one who turns every meeting into a dramatic monologue, or the one sharing their thought every 2 seconds from across the room. 

Enter noise-cancelling earphones for work—the ultimate productivity hack and occasional peace. Whether it’s ambient lo-fi, white noise, or a true crime podcast (hey, no judgment here, 1 in 5 people listen to “Murder, Mystery & Makeup Mondays”), these earphones ensure that your workspace sounds exactly how you want it to… well, sometimes.

3. The ‘Wholesome Sunset’ Moment 🌅

There’s something magical about watching the sky melt into shades of orange and pink while your favourite song plays in the background. When it comes to sunset sessions with friends, you need a wireless speaker for outdoor fun to set the right mood.

Throw on some vibey acoustic tracks, grab your speaker, and let the music blend seamlessly with the sounds of the ocean, city skyline, or even just your backyard.

4. The ‘One Last Song’ Moment 🎧

Goodbyes are never easy—maybe your bestie is moving away, your sibling is heading back to university, or the road trip that felt like it would never end finally does. Sometimes, the best way to say everything without words is through a shared song.

With pocket-sized earbuds for on-the-go listening, you can split an earbud, press play, and let the music do the talking. The perfect soundtrack for those “see you later” hugs.

One Last Song

Find the Soundtrack to Your Life 🎵

Music isn’t just background noise; it’s the heartbeat of our everyday lives. From energizing your morning routine to making memories with your friends, Volkano’s headphones for work and play bring sound to every part of your day.

Which everyday moment deserves a better soundtrack in your life? Drop your go-to song for the perfect vibe in the comments!

And as always: stay safe, vibe responsibly, and keep the music loud. 🎧✨

How I Accidentally Became a DJ (Thanks to Volkano Gear) 🎧🎚️🎛️

How I Accidentally Became a DJ (Thanks to Volkano Gear) 🎧🎚️🎛️

So, here’s the thing: I’ve always wanted to host the ✨ultimate✨ house party, but there was just one thing missing; good music, and the right gear to make me look like a DJ extraordinaire. Enter Volkano, my hero, and the unexpected turn of events that gave me a night to remember (and the neighbours to forget).

It all started when I grabbed my Volkano X Headphones placed them on my neck and put my right hand on my VolkanoX Bluetooth speaker, busy living my best Ibiza DJ life (in my kitchen). Now, let me tell you, this baby doesn’t just play music, it brings the bass, the beats, and those shameful dance moves. I hooked it up in the living room as I needed a bigger space to whip out those cringe DJ booth dance moves, connected my phone, and suddenly felt like DJ Zinhle.

Volkano X VXS400

Now, everything was perfect… until my friend Jodi got a little too enthusiastic with the dance moves. She grabbed the Headphones that was wrapped around my neck, popped them on, and decided she was the next Tyla. I mean, who could blame her with that kind of sound quality?

Volkano X VXH300

But here’s where things got a bit more interesting. While Jodi was lip-syncing her way through *Jump*, I noticed something. We had cranked the music so loud that my Volkano Smart Watch buzzed with a notification. Was it an important email? A call from my boss? Nope. It was my watch telling me to calm down my heart rate because it thought I was mid-marathon. To be fair, the dance floor (my living room) *was* getting heated.

Volkano Trinity Series Smart Watch

Then came the moment I feared the most: my phone battery was about to die. Panic set in. How could I continue my epic DJ set without my phone? Then I remembered… I bolted to my room, scanned the room, spotted on my bed side table, my Volkano Power Bank, and with a swift grab my power bank saved the day, yeeeeessss! Not only did it recharge my phone, but it also fuelled Jodi’s energy to keep doing the robot (despite nobody asking for it).

Volkano Power Bank Tank Series 20 000 mAh

As the night went on and the strobe lights hit the walls, my Volkano X Earphones came in handy when I needed a break from the madness. I snuck out to the backyard, popped them in, and found a few moments of peace before being dragged back to my DJ duties. Honestly, they were my lifeline amidst the chaos.

5
Volkano X VXT200S TWS with ANC

By the end of the night, my friends had all declared it the best party ever, thanks to Volkano’s superior sound, style, and battery-saving power and therefore helping me get crowned DJ of the year (well, at least by my one fan that was there).

 

What was your last epic party win, or even fail?

Busted! Myth vs. Reality: Surprising Facts About Your Favourite Gadgets and Devices 💡

Busted! Myth vs. Reality: Surprising Facts About Your Favourite Gadgets and Devices 💡

Greetings, tech and gadget fans! Today you will explore the realm of technology and together we will debunk some common misconceptions amongst the sea of gadgets, some that you might still think are true. So, grab your essentials such as goggles, and that famous myth busting beret and prepare for an awesome journey of uncovering the true facts about tech.

Myth Nr.1: The more megapixels your camera has the better photos come out… 📸

The truth: Unquestionably, having more megapixels can offer a higher resolution, but this does not always mean higher quality images. These days things like image processing, lens quality and sensor size affect the final image. So, the next time you’re looking for a new cell phone or camera, don’t be fooled by the megapixel myth.

Myth Nr.2: Overnight phone charging damages the battery, hmm. 🤔

The Truth: Nowadays smart charging is built into modern cell phones, so when your battery is fully charged it will automatically stop charging. With that said, feel free to safely charge your phone overnight without worrying about damaging it. However, it is always recommended to use a higher quality charger!

Myth Nr.3: Your battery should always run out completely before it gets recharged. 🔋

The Truth: This myth stems from older battery technology. Modern Lithium-ion batteries can be charged whenever needed, and do not need to be completely flat.  A battery’s lifespan may actually be shortened by the battery being drained on a regular basis.

Myth Nr.4: The more bars you have means you have better signal 📶

The Truth: The bars that show on your phone only indicate signal strength, but it does not mean that you have a great quality connection. Things like network congestion, location, and phone type can impact your actual signal quality. So even if you have a few bars, you can still manage if there is a decent connection!

Myth Nr.5: Closing your background apps ends up saving your battery’s life 📱

The truth: I know we all have some sort of OCD and want to constantly have all our apps closed but remember that nowadays modern cell phones are optimised to manage background apps a lot more efficiently. So, manually closing your apps can actually use a lot more battery as the system needs to restart these apps when you open them again and again. Let your phone do the multitasking for you!

Myth Nr.6: Bigger TVs provide you with a better viewing experience 📺

The Truth: We all want a big TV for bragging rights, but we should keep in mind that the size of your TV should actually be the right proportion to the distance you are viewing your TV at. A bigger screen can overwhelm a small room, and these days modern apartments can be quite compact, so having a bigger screen can reduce viewing comfort. It is like a center piece, creating the right balance for your space.

Myth Nr.7: All headphones are the same 🎧

The Truth: The overall quality of your headphones can be greatly different based on the design, drivers, and technology it uses. Headphones can offer all different experiences such as noise cancellation, true wireless pairing, and high-fidelity. Don’t assume all headphones are created equally, they differ vastly from one another.

Myth Nr.8: All power banks are created equally🔋

The Truth: Power banks differ as they come with various capacities, such as speed of charging, which can be indicated with the milliampere-hours (mAh) and built in technologies. Additionally, the size, weight and shape can also be considering factor when looking to purchase a power bank. At the end of the day, a cheap power bank might not offer the same reliability or speed as a more expensive model. Always do your homework and check the specifications beforehand.

Myth Nr.9: All Bluetooth speakers have the same quality when it comes to sound 🔊

The Truth: Bluetooth speakers can vary widely in sound quality, clarity, and the battery life, for instance, how often does it need to be charged? And additional bonus features like water or dust resistance. When looking at higher-end speakers, they can often provide superior sound as well as durability compared to the more budget-friendly options. So, it is all about how much you’re willing to spend and what specifications you need.

Last but not the least! Myth Nr.10: Expensive cables can improve the sound quality or provide faster charging🎶

The Truth: Whilst high-quality cables can provide more durability, for most users out there it does not always mean that it will charge your phone any better, faster or create a higher quality of sound. Don’t be fooled and land up breaking the bank by buying more expensive cables and expecting a significant improvement.

There you have it, busting these tech myths not only makes you smarter, but it also helps you make better decisions about the electronics you buy. And remember, always do your research!

Your Handy Cheat Sheet to Audio Tech Lingo: ENC, ANC, and TWS Explained

Do you ever feel like you need a translator when shopping for new headphones? All those terms—ENC, ANC, TWS—might as well be another language. But don’t worry, I’ve got your back! Let’s break down these buzzwords so you can shop like a pro.

First Up, What is ENC?

Imagine chatting on your phone at a busy cafe, but the person on the other end hears you like you’re in a quiet room. That’s ENC doing its job. Standing for Environmental Noise Cancellation is all about ensuring your voice cuts through the chaos during calls.

Why ENC is Awesome:

Crystal Clear Chats: Keeps your calls crisp, even in noisy spots.

Dual Mic Action: One mic listens to the noise around you, and the other focuses just on your voice.

Easy on the Ears: Less background noise means you’re not straining to hear, which is a total win.

And Then There’s ANC

While ENC is great for calls, Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is about giving you peace across all your audio. Whether you’re jamming to tunes or catching up on your favourite podcast, ANC minimizes the background noise so you can lose yourself in the sound.

ANC Perks:

All-Around Noise Detective: It’s always listening for noise—both outside and right near your ears.

Smart Adjustments: ANC dynamically adjusts, tweaking its settings as the ambient noise changes.

Noise? What Noise?: It produces a counter-signal that cancels out the distractions.

So, ENC or ANC—What’s the Deal?

ENC: Aim to make your calls clear by blocking out the noise around you.

ANC: Broadens the peace to everything you listen to, not just phone calls.

Ever Wonder About TWS?

Forget the wires. True Wireless Stereo (TWS) means each earbud is independent and wire-free, giving you genuine stereo sound without the hassle of tangled cords.

TWS Benefits:

No More Tangles: Free yourself from the tyranny of tangled wires.

Quick Connect: Pairing with your device is a breeze.

Comfy Fit: Designed to be light and snug for all-day listening.

Mixing It All Together: ENC, ANC, and TWS

Combine ENC, ANC, and TWS, and you’ve got the dream team of audio tech. This trio brings you the convenience of wireless with the bliss of noise cancellation, letting you enjoy pristine sound anytime, anywhere.

So next time those acronyms start flying around at the electronics store, you’ll know exactly what’s what. Happy shopping, and here’s to finding the perfect headphones that make your everyday sound just a bit more extraordinary!
