<span style="font-size: xx-small;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The global version of the internationally renowned <b>ULTRA Music Festival </b>will again be making it's way to South African shores in 2017 with two massive shows planned in Cape Town at the Cape Town Stadium on Friday 24 February and in Johannesburg at the Expo Centre Nasrec on Saturday 25 February. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">International superstars <b>Dash Berlin</b>, <b>KSHMR</b> and <b>DJ Snake</b> will join the previously announced headliners <b>David Guetta</b> and <b>Martin Garrix</b> on the <b>ULTRA</b> <b>South Africa</b> main stage. Support from the likes of <b>Black Coffee</b>, <b>Felix Jaehn</b>, <b>Headhunterz</b> and <b>Nic Fanciulli</b> round out the highly anticipated phase 2 lineup which was announced today.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dash Berlin is no stranger to <b>ULTRA</b> <b>South Africa</b>; this Dutch trance veteran has been contributing to the international scene for over a decade. He’s worked with icons such as <b>Justin Timberlake</b>, <b>Usher</b>, <b>N.E.R.D.</b> and <b>Lenny Kravitz</b> to name just a few. His performance on <b>ULTRA South Africa’s</b> main stage in 2016 blew the crowd away; expect Dash to bring energy levels to a peak at <b>ULTRA </b>in February.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>KSHMR</b> (pronounced Kashmir), real name Niles Hollowell-Dhar, was awarded "The Highest New Entry" on <b>DJ Mag's Top 100 </b>DJ list, and has since moved up 11 places this year to the No.12 spot. As a producer, he’s one of the world’s best and most loved, but as a live act he takes things to a whole new level.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>DJ Snake</b> is the French DJ and record producer stunning the dance music world with his ability to create smash hit after smash hit. He most recently launched his first studio album <b>‘Encore’</b> featuring collaborations with icons <b>Justin Bieber</b>, <b>Skrillex</b> and more. <b>DJ Snake</b> was also behind one of the biggest and most iconic soundtracks of this generation, his collaboration with <b>Major Lazer - “Lean On”</b>. Expect to hear a range of unreleased future hits from Snake's performance at <b>ULTRA South Africa</b>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The eclectic support lineup is packed full of international superstars including <b>HeadHunterz</b>, real name William Rebergen, the Dutch DJ who is known for his hard hitting, energetic sets and who has worked with previous <b>ULTRA South Africa</b> artists like <b>W&W</b> and <b>Krewella</b>. <b>HeadHunterz</b> will be shaking up the sound with his banging big room set in Cape Town and JHB.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Next up, <b>Felix Jaehn</b>, the prodigal German tropical house DJ and producer that went number 1 in 20 countries with his remix of <b>Omi's 'Cheerleader'</b>, will bring a summer sound to SA that that will surely get the girls dancing and the boys smiling.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>ULTRA South Africa</b> will also be bringing the <b>RESISTANCE</b> stage back, with its deep and grimy sound for those that like to get down and dirty….</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nic Fanciulli needs little introduction after completing a truly successful <b>RESISTANCE</b> world tour in 2016 with <b>ULTRA</b> Worldwide. Anyone who watched him on the <b>RESISTANCE</b> stages around the world or was at the legendary Space Ibiza closing party will know exactly how good this British DJ and producer is at getting a dance floor going, and keeping it going long into the night.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Joining Nic on this year’s <b>RESISTANCE </b>program is <b>Black Coffee</b>. Undoubtedly South Africa’s proudest current export, he started his career around 1995 and since then has played at <b>P Diddy’s</b> house party in Miami, taken home gold at the DJ Awards in Ibiza, remixed <b>Avicii’s ‘Lay Me Down’ </b>and much, much more. Expect him to bring his magical A-Game to the stage; something that Ultranauts will remember long after the festival is over.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The local support act line-up is a who’s who of South Africa’s top talent including:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Timo Odv, Pascal & Pearce, DJ Fresh, Euphonik, Crazy White Boy, P.H, DJ Milkshake, DJ Shimza, Vigilante, DJ Dimplez, Kyle Watson, Strange Loving, Mark Stent, Ryan Murgatroyd, Vimo, Chunda Munki, Kyle Cassim, Yeti, Dean Fuel, Household Funk, Saubomb, Ricardo Da Cost</b>a</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Plus Even More Local Artists To Be Announced Closer To The February 2017 Event.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The <b>ULTRA Angels</b> will also be returning to beautiful South Africa to grace the stages with their hypnotic dancing and gorgeous costumes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, in summary, <b>ULTRA South Africa</b> 2017 is bringing 35 top quality artists from around the world to perform over 2 days in 2 cities, on 3 stages per city to tens of thousands of screaming fans at each show!</span></span><br />

After catching the imagination of millions people across the planet with his ‘Afropolitan’ house sound, South Africa’s Black Coffee hits London on Easter Saturday 26th March 2016, with an extended set, for his biggest show in the capital to date. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The event is named after his latest single ‘<b><a href="https://soundcloud.com/soulisticmusic/black-coffee-feat-nakhane-toure-we-dance-again-preview" target="_blank">We Dance Again</a></b>’, which is currently at the centre of a dance video challenge on Instagram <a href="https://instagram.com/explore/tags/wedanceagainchallenge/">https://instagram.com/explore/tags/wedanceagainchallenge/</a> that's gone viral. The challenge has resulted in nearly 5,000 participants so far, including politicians and celebrities. Hosted at the spectacular Electric Brixton alongside some very special guests, ‘We Dance Again’ will see Black Coffee deliver his distinctive sound in a way London has never seen before.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Described as fresh and future-focused yet sculptured by balance and beauty, his trademark beats have seen a meteoric rise in popularity. Taking influences from his homeland, Black Coffee’s house sound has garnered a keen worldwide following. The past twelve months have seen his profile accelerate at spectacular speed, inspiring thousands along the way with his unique soul, spirit, talent and vision. Originating from the Eastern Cape of South Africa, Nkosinathi Maphulmulo is celebrated as a national hero, backed up by his numerous SAMA awards ranging everywhere from ‘Best Dance Album’ to ‘Best Male Artist’. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The past twelve months have seen the Soulistic Music architect touch down in almost every continent as his international demand continues to soar. His outstanding headline residency for Circoloco at Ibiza’s DC10 and Mixmag front cover in August received an overwhelming response. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The eight-minute film, produced and directed by Lebogang Rasethaba from Egg Films, takes people on a journey through South Africa’s house music scene. It features interviews with global and local musicians and leaders in the industry. The film explores the ideas of South African music, its genesis and evolution – and in particular the influence of dance, how it shapes and is shaped by the music our homegrown talent produces.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Says Rasethaba: “South Africa is rich with stories, many of them untold and undocumented. So to continue to discover such exciting stories through film is an honour for me; it comes with a lot of responsibility and it’s something I take very seriously.”<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Together we spent a week in South Africa showcasing grassroots local talent broadcast from off beat locations, culminating in a spectacular tent pole live show at Constitution Hill that had the crowd going wild - both those at the event and people tuning in online.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Announcing the first official fundraising tour for this year, <b>Bridges for Music</b> is proud to welcome <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">German DJ and electronic music producer</span> <b>Loco Dice</b> on his first visit to South Africa this February. Loco Dice’s tour forms part of Bridges for Music’s fundraising initiatives for educational projects like its music and multimedia school in Langa -- or the various scholarship programmes that have already helped underprivileged South African artists to perform on global stages like Tomorrowland or Glastonbury.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Loco Dice has wanted to re-connect with his African roots for some time, and this opportunity provided the perfect opportunity. Some of his tracks are huge hits among the South African house scene, like "El gallo Negro". He will also take it beyond the gigs and support the local scene on a grassroots level.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
The tour will consist of a debut set at the Cape Town Electronic Music Festival (CTEMF) on Friday, February 6th at the emblematic Cape Town Town Hall and two fundraising shows in Johannesburg. Loco<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Dice will also be hosting a workshop in Cape Town in the township of Gugulethu. The second show will be held on Saturday, February 7th, at Truth, where he will be playing alongside <b>Anja Schneider </b>(Mobilee)<b> </b>and some of South Africa´s most promising artists like <b>Culoe de Song</b>, <b>Ryan Murgatroyd, Jazzuelle</b> and <b>Trancemicsoul</b>. On Sunday February 8<sup>th</sup>, Soweto’s Zone 6 will be the venue for the third show, a special night supported by local icons <b>Black Coffee</b> and <b>DJ Shimza</b> with the participation of local icons <b>Vinny Da Vinci</b>, <b>Jullian Gomes</b> and <b>Da Capo</b>. Loco Dice will host a special workshop at the Kliptown Youth Centre, located in the heart of Soweto.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">All of the proceeds from the fundraising shows will go directly to Bridges for Music, thanks to support from Red Bull Studios in Cape Town, who are covering all expenses of the tour, and Loco Dice, who is committing his time to support this cause. The public can support the initiative by purchasing tickets to the show or donating via a special crowd funding platform created for this tour: <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/locodice" target="_blank">www.justgiving.com/locodice</a>.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bridges for Music have been raising money to build a music and multimedia school in the township of Langa, Cape Town with the goal of empowering the community through music. The non-profit organisation’s main goal for 2015 is to ensure the music school is sustainable over the next three years by securing additional funding. The school aims to become a creative hub where these young, talented individuals are able to pursue their dreams and develop skills, through a shared passion for music. The aim is also for the school to become a landmark in the community of Langa.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Through various fundraising initiatives BFM has already raised over R2-million in funds, which covers the initial build of the school. Most notably a highly successful charity cycle in 2014 organised by Resident Advisor from London to Amsterdam (during ADE) raised over £100,000 (R1,8m) with the support of over 2,800 donors and the sponsors of the cycle (Native Instruments, ADE, Pioneer DJ and SONOS). Thirty riders in total were able to take part in the challenge thanks to Resident Advisor who covered the costs of the cycle to enable 100% of the donations to go to the Langa music and multimedia school.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

In an effort to ensure the spectacular production of the Pet Shop Boys headlining ‘Electric’ performance, Sónar Cape Town organisers Seed Experiences have confirmed that A Taste of Sónar in Johannesburg will be moving from the Nasrec Expo Centre to the Sandton Convention Centre.<u></u><u></u></div>

“Having worked closely with the Pet Shop Boys production team over the past few weeks as we prepare for these events, we were collectively unable to overcome certain technical challenges that the venue was presenting, which were not present at the time of the event launch as the Pet Shop Boys ‘Electric’ world tour had not yet been included. Sandton Convention Centre is far better suited to the requirements of Pet Shop Boys’ ‘Electric’ tour rider and we want to ensure we produce their show as it has been seen and produced worldwide to sold-out audiences,” says Blaise Janichon, Operations Manager at Seed Experiences.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

The dazzling ‘Electric’ show makes use of innovative stage production, with lighting and set design created in collaboration with Es Devlin, who has worked with Lady Gaga, Kanye West & Jay Z, Take That and the 2012 Olympics’ Closing Ceremony. Attendees can expect cutting-edge audio-visuals, original choreography, four outfit changes and, of course, lots of amazing hits from the iconic UK duo.<u></u><u></u></div>

<i>“First year shows usually tend to be replete with growing pains, but with South Africa it just instantly worked. It certainly helped that we had a massive lineup and the energy really transcended to the crowd. Ultra South Africa turned out to be a very special show for our team, the Artists and most importantly the fans lucky enough to be there to witness history in the making.  Continuing with our trend of coming stronger every year, our second edition in South Africa surely won’t disappoint as evidenced by this tremendous first phase lineup announcement."</i></div>
