The collaboration has seen many leading
artists grace the ‘A-Frame stage on the other side of the hill’ such as the
world-famous party-starter, Diplo, South African house music pioneer and
legend, Oskido and bass-music pioneers, Sibot, PHfat and Haezer, to name just a
handful of over a hundred artists to have played in the past.
The stage has also been a launchpad for
South African up-and-coming talent such as Reason, Das Kapital, Jullian Gomes
and Christian Tiger School who all played as they were establishing themselves
in their career.
This year sees a plethora of talent return
to the stage such as the aforementioned Sibot, Das Kapital and Christian Tiger
School along with fresh line-up of trailblazing artists such as YFM bass-music
siren, DJ Doowap, one of SA hip-hop's fastest rising artists, Cassper Nyovest
and SA house-music champions Crazy White Boy.
International artists on stage this year
include prolific techno DJ-producer, Sian and Brazilian drum n bass legend, DJ
Marky.
In a nod to the rise of electronic music
from the underground to mainstream, 5FM's DJ Fresh will be one of the headline
acts, whose own work in helping build South African electronic music over the
years has been invaluable to the scene.
