Earthdance Cape Town 2011

With amazing line ups on all 3 stages ranging from electro, trance, dubstep, drum and bass, world, looping and instrumental, all the festival goers, artists and crew created one of the most special and smoothly run festivals Cape Town has seen for a while. There was an air of excitement, happiness and positivity throughout the whole weekend and the decor was a key feature on all three stages spanning all areas of the venue. We are truly happy to have created a long lasting memory in eveyones minds for some time to come.

Flamjangled Tea Party 2011

Over the weekend of the 18 - 20 March 2011, the hills of Durbanville, well one particular hill to be precise, was graced with the presence some of some of the most extra-ordinary characters from Cape Town and abroad. The likes of some of the best entertainment from the Mother City and other areas of Southern Africa and even England kept the festival goers enthralled in the temporary wonderland that is The Flamjangled Tea Party.

Origin Festival 2011

Nestled just past a beautiful, lush forest for camping, the Origin main floor was a spectacle of colour which some even compared to the movie Avatar, at night. Over the duration of the entire weekend, glee-stricken, jovial faces were seen everywhere and laughter was heard echoing from the parking fields through the shaded camping area and onto the flowing stream beyond the dance floor. The star-studded line up had the crowd dancing till they hearts content and rocked way into the evening of Sunday. Only those who attended will still have the bass reverberating through their bodies and the memories forever in their minds.

New World Eve: A NuWorld Beat Odyssey

We embarked upon the maiden voyage of musical exploration and sought undiscovered dancefloors and tropical beats.

There was Nu species to discover and new lands that lay in wait. We set sail between the coastal towns of Tuneisia, Swingapore, Jordance, Mozambeat and Twisterland!

There were some gritty adventurers, scientific apprentices, naughty natives, vegan aligators, meat eating plants, marooned explorers and a stylish headhunter or two that helped beckon in the year of Nu.

Origin 2010

From the full moon on Saturday, which was too beautiful for words, to the unbelievable decor(never-before seen in South Africa) and great tunes all weekend long, we trust that everyone else had as much fun as we did.

The new venue proved to be a real winner, with enough parking for everyone, a shady and spacious dancefloor and a cool flowing river(accompanied by the 2nd dancefloor :) ) Thank you to all the crew for putting together such an amazing production, the artists for supplying us with lovely rocking tunes and everyone for making this event so special.
