Mini Profile
The Bushmen are here and we have a mission. Arising from the South African digital bush our mission is to be a platform for underground South African musical artists to showcase and release their music to the world. The music is released for free, to share with everyone. This movement is what is commonly known as a Netlabel and you are now at the forefront of the South African netlabel revolution. The reason for its exclusivity to South African artists is that there are no real diverse Netlabel platforms for South Africans artists to release their music under. Our aim is to be this platform and to help both upcoming and established South African musical artists to get their music out there. We also aim to interact and collaborate with international Netlabels and through that have South African artists feature globally. All music released by Bushmen Records are licensed under a Creative Commons license which enables everyone to share the music freely and also protects certain rights of the artist. The only time when additional permission will be needed is when any of the music is used for commercial purposes. If you are a South African artist or band who would like to release or showcase your music and you share the same ideals as Bushmen Records then send us a message from the Feedback form on the right. State your cause along with a link to your music and we will get in contact with you in good time. South Africa is a wild place and Bushmen Records are the underground pioneers of the digital new age.

Liberation by The X-Structure
It was a time not unlike now. A time where darkness and corruption reigned. The situation looked dire. Justice was required. Then during the dark of night a Hero was born. As time passed the Hero wandered into the wilderness alone. On his journey he came to know who he was and where he was to go, and that he was in fact not alone, for his Father's guiding spirit was always with him.
The Hero, now a man, found his way to a dusty town, a town called Hopefound. Here the darkness had corrupted the streets and blinded the hearts of women and men. Where there once was virtue and righteousness, now there was only perversion and tyranny that covered the town in its thick dark veil. The Light that first set life into motion and brought reality into sight was nowhere being sought. But now as our Hero's searching light lit up the dark streets it was made known that there was a new sheriff in town. The Hero donned his star-shaped badge and set forth to free the darkened souls who once knew the joy and truth of the Light. Everyone was in need of his saving grace, the good, the bad and the ugly. They were being released from the bonds of their self-destructive ways, their selfish deeds and the lies of the Enemy. Yes even those poor souls were being recued who thought too highly of themselves and those who had been left outside with no hope, forsaken by the rest of them. They were getting their true identity back.
The next day came as the Hero approached the town center. As he stopped for a moment's rest he was beset by the Corrupt Major's hired gang of bandits, thugs and thiefs, encircled from every side. The sun now sat at highnoon. A showdown was about to take place, a showdown that would decide everyone's fate. The bandits had taken hostage all those poor souls who were out there in the streets, holding up before the Hero their past offences and evil deeds. The Major reckoned to the Righteous Judge, who had also appeared among them, that they were to be his, as their vile deeds where not much different from the very likes of his. The Judge considered his plea but said that it was high time that the records be set straight and that the Mayor's own time would also soon come. The Hero called out for a ransom to be given, to pay the debt for the peoples' due retribution. The Judge then reckoned that only good could right this evil for Justice required that the balance between right and wrong be equal. It was said, the Hero's life in exchange for those who were held captive so that his righteousness might clear their name.
The Hero took the call and laid down his life for all, for he knew who they were and were they were to go, yes even those who had forsaken him. As the day's end slowly drew near and the rescued ran joyous and free, those who were there were sure they could see the silhouette of the Hero in the far distance, riding away into the sunset.
