Inside Story: Space Ibiza SA Tour

Space Ibiza SA

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SAMSUNG #GALAXYEXPERIENCE

The space shuttle has taken off and the propulsion engines have left a resonance of intergalactic music in the air! The inaugural Samsung Galaxy Experience Space Ibiza on tour South Africa has lifted off into the hearts and minds of all those cadets that attended the events at Shimmy Beach Club in Cape Town and Nicci Beach Street Party in Johannesburg.

Revellers streamed through the door in anticipation of what the ‘World’s Best Club’ had to offer South Africa for the very first time. A stage production that could withstand the ferocity of Mars, lighting that could be seen from the moon and a DJ line-up that blasted everyone into orbit was witnessed by capacity crowds at both venues. The galactic dance music spectacle was piloted by Space Ibiza resident DJ’s Roger Sanchez, Camilo Franco & Danny Marquez who ensured that the heat sensors on the shuttle were at maximum temperature for the audience. Alongside them was the very best SA has to offer with Pascal & Pearce, Monique Pascal, Lady M, Gareth Devore, Dean Fuel, Chris Jack, Rocca & Martini, Royal K, Kyle Worde, Spindoctor, Peter Booth, Justin Miller and Kyle Cassim.

‘Another successful G&G Productions event has taken place and we know that all who attended has a great time! We are looking forward to bringing more of the top international events to South Africa in the near future.’ Says Greg Walsh, MD of G&G Productions. All in all, a successful Space Ibiza on tour mission has been accomplished and after the inaugural flight in 2013, 2014 will see the launch pad being prepped again for another voyage into the ‘World’s Best Club’ for South Africa.

 

Space Ibiza on tour South Africa is brought to you by the Samsung Galaxy Experience.

Cape Town Electronic Music Festival 2013

“The Cape Town Electronic Music Festival was a defining moment for the local electronic music scene, now clearly marked on the international map but more importantly in the hearts and minds of its South African followers.” – Whatsonincapetown.co.za, April 2012

 

March 2012 saw a selection of Cape Town?s electronic music scene come together in celebration of its existence. Through a series of development workshops, Satellite events and a core 3 day festival the process of presenting an annual look into the multi facets of South Africa?s electronic music scene had begun.

 

Now one year on, the CTEMF proudly reopens it window onto the ever-growing world of

South Africa?s electronic music scene Once again we reach back to the roots of how it all started, and discover what continues to inspire. Who has progressed and why and who are the names to watch. Which global artists shape trends in South Africa and more importantly who are the South African artists that are shaping trends globally.

 

2013 sees CTEMF proudly welcoming its first International guest, non other than Richie Hawtin. As one of the initial role players in the global Techno movement in early 90?s, he has continued to be a driving force both on and off stage, positioning him currently as number 2 Artist in Resident Advisor?s 2012 DJ poll.

 

Locally, CTEMF will once again present a selection of the absolute cream of the crop of our Electronic Music Scene. From scene originators and business leaders to the up & coming mavericks and industry revolutionaries.

 

There is no other festival like it in South Africa. It?s an ongoing, comprehensive collection and celebration of the ever-growing electronic music scene both locally and abroad. The CTEMF continues to strive for an inclusive view of the scene around it - Past, Present & Future.

 

Once again you are invited to rearrange your sonic geography.

 

Be A Part.

Sowing the Seeds 2012 @ Zula Bar

bees_by_pixiecold-d5dnxcw

As a prequel to Rocking The Daisies, this was no doubt a great taster of what’s to come.  Spring was in the air, a perfect time to sow seeds…. I started by hanging out with the band ‘Goodnight Wembley’ for pre-drinks at their recording studio ‘Kill City’ in Zonnebloem.  Owned by George who was a delightful host and most excited for the performance ahead.

 

After countless Jack Daniels & filled with enthusiasm, we hit the road and headed to Zulu Bar on Long Street. The atmosphere at Zulu Bar was electric.  Tequila was calling the shots at the DJ Bar.  Couldn’t help but hit the dancefloor soon after- Circuswing beats were calling and sending the punters in a tizz!  Rocking the decks!  I found rhythm in the bounce of the floorboards!

 

Packed to the brim in the Upper Atrium Live stage I decided to check what the fuss was about.   It has to be said that was completely blown away by Isochronous!  They are young lads from Pretoria and going places.  The lead singer has an amazing voice and cheeky smile, both, which sell records.  These guys are one to keep an eye on.   The crowd loved every minute and most knew every word of their songs.

 

I popped back to the DJ Bar, for tequila of course!  And Spekta was doing what he does best.  After a good ol shake down to his minimal tech set I quickly hopped back to the live stage to see Goodnight Wembley.  I just love the variation of music and how you go from electric to live bands at a whim!

 

Goodnight Wembley has an amazing energy on stage!  The crowds were really into it, they clearly have a massive following.  I made my way to the Electronica floor, I REALLY didn’t want to miss James Copeland’s set and true to form, there he was with his Balkan beats and top hat to add to effect.  I really love how diverse James is from trance to groovy funky beats.

 

Last but not least was DJ Invizable, who I first saw when he performed with Gazelle, these days with Dubmasta China on percussion. A Great performance!

 

Sowing The Seeds 2012 was a truly top night boasting an impressive line-up and really excited for Rocking The Daisies in October this year. I am looking forward to it!
