Video: Review of the Cape Town Electronic Music Festival 2012

The very first Cape Town Electronic Music Festival (CTEMF) took place in Cape Town from 27 March - 01 April 2012. The core festival, which was preluded by a week of workshops, info-sessions, showcases and fringe events, was held  on the roof of the Breakwater parking garage at The V&A Waterfront from 30 March - 01 April 2012. Tickets for the festival were actually quite affordable - a weekend pass was going at R200 and day passes were available at R100.

Video: South Africa's dance music scene

Although I am not a big fan of dance music, I found the the following two part documentary actually quite interesting. Check it out and follow the guys from Pascal & Pearce, who are promoting their new album "Passport" through the films, around South Africa's dance scene and explore what Cape Town and Johannesburg are like... dancemusicwise!

The first video of the two part 24min series is taking a look at the electronic/dance music scene of Cape Town.
