<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Uniting world-renowned icons with fresh, new emerging acts from all corners of the South African scene, the 2016 line-up presents the same careful curation that has garnered <b>CTEMF</b> international recognition in previous years. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In typical CTEMF fashion, the line-up boasts a staggering variety of electronic music: hip hop, house, techno, electronica and all strains of bass music.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Highlights from today’s announcement include: Detroit techno stalwart <b>Rolando</b>, French DJ/producer <b>Chloé</b> lauded for melding art and music, Berlin's <b>Ralf Kollmann</b>, head honcho of powerhouse imprint Mobilee. Critically acclaimed SA-raised <b>Petite Noir </b>returns to perform his first ever live show on home soil while <b>Aero Manyelo</b> will administer a potentially lethal dose of Pretoria’s house beats.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A large contingent of Cape-based artists make sure that the festival remains true to its name and aims of representing the city’s vibrant and varied electronic music communities. <b>Sibot & Toyota</b> will present their deft amalgam of bass, beats and attitude as well as hip-hop quartet <b>Driemanskap</b> who have taken their self-crafted “spaza” sound around the globe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Late in 2015 the festival announced plans for a new third stage, and this has been realized via the new “Club Stage”. The festival’s extensive line-up and expansion indicate both an evolution of the festival and the growth of the industry in broader terms.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Staying true to its commitment to support and grow South African electronic music, Sónar Cape Town along with presenting partner Olmeca Tequila are excited to announce the addition of four of the country’s most talented local names to the event’s lineup.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Fantasma</b> is a unique and diverse set of local musicians who along with Spoek Mathambo include traditional Zulu instrumentalist Bhekisenzo Cele, forefather of Bacardi House sound DJ Spoko and psychedelic rock guitarist Andre Geldenhuys. Maintaining a distinctly South African flavour, Fantasma drives an electronic pulse and forward-thinking futuristic vision with their sound.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The fresh and talented electronic rap duo <b>PHFAT</b> is shaking up the South African music landscape with their “homemade” electronic mish-mash rap sound. With influences ranging from glitch hop and punk to rap and folk music, Smooth Mike and Narch are best known for their current blow-out hit single ‘Lights Out’, which play-listed on more than 12 radio stations across the country. The prolific pair have been busy: In 2011 they released ‘Dinosaur Blood’; ‘You are going to Die’ in 2012; and most recently the 17-track full-length album, ‘Happiness Machines’.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Dream-hop chillwave psychedelia.” That is <b>Christian Tiger School</b> in one line. True products of the internet age of music, Luc Veermeer and Sebastiano Zanasi have grown up listening to and sourcing sounds from home and abroad.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

Original South African legends and the hottest of new acts converge from the 2<sup>nd</sup> to the 5<sup>th</sup> of October in Eclectic Mielie-Land. This is way more than just a mere musical festival and it will swiftly become clear why their regular Mieliepoppers return back time and again.</span><u></u><u></u></span></div>

<i><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Those in the know are all too aware that Mieliepop is far from just setting up camp and watching bands. Without argument set in one of the most beautiful festival venues in South Africa, festival goers appreciate our fine blend of serenity, creative mayhem and quirky surprises.  Jaw-droppingly good talent continues to ensure the grandeur from eras past, present and beyond.” - Organizers<u></u><u></u></span></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you think Mieliepop; think of an escapist world where you can celebrate and simply have outlandish fun! <i>“We are noted for our provision of quality at many levels, squeaky clean and well-serviced festival infrastructure (hot showers/flush toilets)” Organizers</i>. Camp hassle free on lush lawns adjacent to a crystal clear lake (fishing and swimming allowed), Rock ‘n’ Rolling green hills and magical caves delicately decorated with Highveld lilies.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 13.45pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Explore the beautiful farm and wildlife, catch a fish, find hidden land art or float your pimped lilo on the lake while you make friends with the resident otters. Be romantic and declare your love at their Chapel (while Elvis makes it all official) or possibly hitch a free ride on the “Yellow Dub-Marine” with the live onboard reggae band. <span style="color: black;">Join in or kick back then make your way to the Marshmallow Pit, bang your drum and show off your didgeridoo skills around the festival-long bonfire.</span><u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Visitors may also</span> trek off into the woods where their new Electronica Stage addition this year will host fresh and pioneering DJ's. More late night foot tapping options; Cocktail Pool Bar and Disco Cave will keep the classic party happening until the early hours of the morning.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The festi-food district, a long-time Mieliepop favourite, continues to raise the bar / push the boundaries with a truly unique mix of the usual favorites, healthy, meaty and fusion food. Enjoy your feast either seated on scattered tables around the venue or claim your picnic spot with your blanky.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can spree at the market. Go shop for something that you can brag about or absolutely don’t need. All stalls only sell quality, original and trendy accessories, clothing, costumes, toys, official merchandise and art.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">The Mieliepop Way: <b><i>“</i></b><i>Labeled as South Africa’s most laid back and eclectic Rock, Reggae and Blues boutique festival experience, where you can comfortably lose/find yourself, relax and dance with like-minded people! Keeping it real and loaded with variety has always been at the heart of the Mieliepop core. Nature (including farm owner, Andre Van Rooyen) did a swell job by providing us with the most surreal and breathtaking venue ever. We simply added a few ingredients and shook it all up. The result was spectacular; blissful festies of all ages danced together while appreciating and supporting real and original SA music.” Coenraad Nel, Festival Organizer</i></span><u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Entering into its 4th year, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>GRIETFEST</b></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> is an alternative festival for alternative people. We have hosted some of the legends in the underground dance scene in South Africa and are slowly building our way to being the only platform in the country to host the masters of their craft from all over the world that may not enjoy commercial success, but are barrier breaking trailblazers that make it possible for others to walk through doors they never thought possible. From acts like Bart B More, Fool, HAEZER, Tai, The Upbeats, TC, Trumpdisco, Pelussje, QG and more. We have had great producers from all over the world performing at our festival to 3000 people they know have a true passion for their music. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This year will be the last year </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>GRIETFEST </b></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">will be held in Town Hall Street, and next year we will move to a bigger location so more people can come and enjoy this feast of beats! </span></div>

Mad Decent Block Party Johannesburg! [Review]

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You know, limping down a grungy, deserted Newtown street at 2am, bathed in the orange glow of scattered streetlights, with your t-shirt slung around your neck, clutching an inflatable dolphin and a wad of fake dollar bills as you follow a group of girls clad in inflatable angel wings while dragging along a giant cut out of Dillon Francis’ head to a parking lot two blocks away, nothing but tired laughter and an indistinguishable drum ‘n bass song echoing in the distance to accompany you, could very well be the only logical conclusion to what was the very first Mad Decent Block Party in South Africa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The entire journey from first seeing Diplo posting his Mad Decent Block Party plans for South Africa on Reddit, to eventually getting my “Twerker” wristband put on my arm at the gate, was one of stifled excitement and anxiety. Diplo’s Instagram posts of his attempts at drifting in the Cape Flats and Dillon Francis’ hilarious reactions to our lack of Pepsi in South Africa in the days before the event, only served to bring home the fact that Mad Decent Block Party was indeed happening in our backyard. Something that has garnered “legendary” status on YouTube comment threads and the odd braai conversation, Mad Decent Block Party has held up its reputation for being an all-inclusive, community oriented festival experience for left-field electronic music fans. Rapidly expanding from a single city festival, to a nationwide tour in the US, Mad Decent’s undeniably fun formula proved successful, with the next logical step being to export this unique package to the rest of the world in 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhETNAUT4TR-dXSye9WgG_iLYi8zJICrDRO5foJDx6G5PR8HlbZ04UDyDxOaTYLwPPJ_6k4WJzC0dNpXJWDRnPALFrnBAvX6oR5XoIphm0hdD4xup1Bce23XMUuhXsqXJC_qLm-JRiwFkc/s1600/IMG_3148.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhETNAUT4TR-dXSye9WgG_iLYi8zJICrDRO5foJDx6G5PR8HlbZ04UDyDxOaTYLwPPJ_6k4WJzC0dNpXJWDRnPALFrnBAvX6oR5XoIphm0hdD4xup1Bce23XMUuhXsqXJC_qLm-JRiwFkc/s1600/IMG_3148.JPG" width="320" /></a>Mary Fitzgerald square was a hub of activity, with fire dancers, roller skaters, beach balls, inflatable animals, bright coloured water guns being pumped and even stilt walkers dressed as Super Mario, it was a clear indication to check all logic at the door. Paul Devro had the dance floor alight with his wonderfully curated Hip Hop set as the crowds began filing in. Das Kapital, a sure bet to get any crowd hyped up, delivered a strong, high energy set that could very well stand toe to toe with any of the other headlining sets on the night. Matching the adrenaline pumping soundtrack, was the outrageous visuals that were plastered all over the LED screens, with Dragonball Z, Power Rangers and Looney Tunes forming a somewhat unexpected throwback to 90s upbringing, nostalgic images from our childhood being paired with the sounds of today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By the time our very own masked wonder, Sibot, assisted by Toyota on visuals, concluded his set, the entire venue was perfectly primed for the onslaught that was Flosstradamus. The Chicagoan duo brought their EDM/Trap crossover sound and brought it hard, playing everything from crowd favourites, Pillz and Roll Up, to Westcoast rap classics both old and new, ranging from Snoop and Dre’s The Next Episode to Kendrick Lamar’s Maad City, with their set peaking at the eruption of a monstrously chaotic mosh pit from which I’m still recovering.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the crowd in full-on rage mode, Dillon Francis delivered a very aesthetically different set that in many ways only Dillon could pull off, everything from Blur’s Song 2, his collaboration with Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Without You to Gesaffelstein with calls from Josh from Flosstradamus (stepping in as impromptu MC during Dillon’s set) for a house party as Dillon slipped in R Kelly’s iconic, family get-together anthem, Ignition. It was a set that burst with colour and tongue-in-cheek personality, complemented wonderfully with the various kaleidoscopes of iPhone emoji as his visual backdrop.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSmZHHT2zNfm70dCx2Y3meX6YxPQlvwm5gKW7Ebw41a55huLxIsGnmjYlXY9g5z55QYfBWQcKm2kms5Sb_aYEUp6A9Czl64r32FieX4ccLTDeJUnPSUXBAZSo0Ad6FEap0cWNsJFzbvg/s1600/IMG_3154.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSmZHHT2zNfm70dCx2Y3meX6YxPQlvwm5gKW7Ebw41a55huLxIsGnmjYlXY9g5z55QYfBWQcKm2kms5Sb_aYEUp6A9Czl64r32FieX4ccLTDeJUnPSUXBAZSo0Ad6FEap0cWNsJFzbvg/s1600/IMG_3154.JPG" width="320" /></a>I frequented some of the familiar Neighbourgoods food trucks, with a selection ranging from frozen yoghurt to seafood paella. It was a rather refreshing divergence from the often mass-produced event food in the region of boerewors rolls and bland burgers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The entirety of Mary Fitzgerald Square was decked out in Mad Decent Block Party banners and branding, also adding a distinct and rather genius South African feel in using beer crates as chairs in the food stall area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whether it was one too many tequila shots or pure hallucination, I could’ve sworn I saw Die Antwoord’s Ninja lurking around in a pair of inflatable angel wings, as well as JR and AKA.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What followed next was without a doubt, the best live performance I’ve ever had the privilege of witnessing. Major Lazer’s performance was the perfect balance between dizzying energy levels, crowd participation and sheer absurdity. There were giant hamster balls, Major Lazer branded dollar bills falling from the sky, confetti, smoke machines and a point in the show where they had managed to get a crowd of thousands to remove their shirts and throw them into the night sky. Their unique mix of dancehall and big room electro only eclipsed by their onstage dancers, Lafayette Bless and Mela Murder who completely stole the show. They twerked while doing handstands, while crowdsurfing and even rode a blow up kiddie raft over two male crowd members laid out over the stage, which was met by gasps  from the crowd. I don’t think I’ve needed a squirt from a water gun more in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were treated to a number of Major Lazer hits, including Bubble Butt, Jah No Partial, Get Free and most surprisingly a local ringtone favourite straight from 2006, Township Funk by DJ Mujava.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Added to the various crowd activities, everyone was given whistles which added a sense of being a part of the music, rather than just being an observer. The atmosphere bordered on something inclusive and communal with a shot of whatever it is Miley is taking these days. There were twerking girls in beanies grinding off each other, Kendrick Lamar fans moving to dancehall and Skrillex, introverted stoners in pyjama pants passing around a half-limp, inflatable sex doll in the crowd and even a wheelchair-bound fan getting to crowdsurf.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPceeSRMWbBiGuuflttNYKZq0dUvQ3TypRpmez6Qa8aKNVdubNdCoFQW8hRUZGYxBdhBayBXym84wdNEWg84BxdsTvEzHvtfB16Rh0tJwIRSdfq9kHRuw2NNAYb8xanCSk_xQmXxYnnss/s1600/IMG_3172.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPceeSRMWbBiGuuflttNYKZq0dUvQ3TypRpmez6Qa8aKNVdubNdCoFQW8hRUZGYxBdhBayBXym84wdNEWg84BxdsTvEzHvtfB16Rh0tJwIRSdfq9kHRuw2NNAYb8xanCSk_xQmXxYnnss/s1600/IMG_3172.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a block party in the heart of Johannesburg, without the exclusivity of your usual electronic crowd and without the pretension of “high class” nightlife. In every respect, Mad Decent Block Party lived up to its reputation of being a celebration of community, fun and good music. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A big thank you to Jade and the Seed Experiences crew :)</div>

SI...... SIBOT

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Very few South African musical exports are as talented and prolific as SIBOT.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even before being crowned South African DJ Battle Champion 2002, this versatile DJ / Producer has been involved in many ground breaking collaborative projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A household name in todays electronic scene both at home and abroad, Sibot has become the reference and bench-mark for any up-and-coming local musician/DJ in the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having set the bedrock for his career in 1998 with SA Hip Hop Band Max Normal, he has featured in multiple acts including Playdoe, The Real Estate Agents, Closet Snare, The Constructus Corporation and Chromoscience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An absolute musical icon – Sibot’s career has always pushed the envelope, always maintaining his core ideals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His directions have been multiple, blurring the boundaries between Hip Hop and Electronic Music, between live and DJ.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sibots Genre-less style has lent itself to advertising and party atmosphere alike.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Live, Sibot has performed most major festivals in South Africa and countless gigs, from street parties to corporate awards ceremonies. Internationally the has been invited to festivals such as Sonar – Spain, Pukkelpop – Belgium, Printemps de Bourges – France, Paleo & Elektron – Switzerland, Glastonbury – UK and Splash – Germany and countless club gigs all over UK, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Poland all the way to The Reunion Islands.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One would be hard-pressed to find other musicians with this much talent and drive. As a solo or collaborative artist Sibot stands out from the rest as one of the few people to lead the way as South African Music in all its forms.</div>
