Derek the Bandit is something like South Africa's answer to Judge Jules but in one of the more unusual moves in dance music it now appears that he's hanging up his headphones to take part in a pyramid scheme.

Derek runs a fantastic podcast called Sound Republic which primarily showcases european trance but also touches on some homegrown SA talent as well as featuring tracks from Denver-based Beatport's top downloads.

"The bandit" has recently announced his retirement from DJing live but intends to continue the podcast. It appears that the lure of a extremely dodgy looking web 1.0-esque multi-level-marketing scheme has proved too strong and he's opted to plaster his site with links which claim to illustrate how one can "make $$$$ in my new online playground!"
