Sick Individuals have been having a great year and I think they kept this one for DJ Mag season! It's formulaic vocal house but I love every moment of it, it works very well for me. I'm really curious to know who made the vocals for this track.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /> Alvin : The Dutch boys give us something different from their normal aggressive style, probably bordering on crossing over to a genre suitable for mainstream radio and guess what, it’s still good! What makes this progressive house track even better is the vocals and outstanding lyrics .. "</span></div> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well come on, and wake up, Cause the hours you spend with your eyes closed, You're just wasting moonlight."</span><br /> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><span style="color: #f1c232;">Alesso - Tear The Roof Up [Refune]</span></strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/7s0mN7TiGiI" width="560"></iframe> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">A : This is a must have in my DJ bag and in anyone’s arsenal of tracks for that matter. As the track title suggest, it will not only tear the roof up but also scorch the dancefloor. And to quote what Alesso FBed for this track: “Tear The Roof Up. The beginning of a whole new era for me. New label. New records.” So we’ll definitely be expecting even greater things from this musical prodigy.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> SL : This is a no brainer dancefloor destroyer! I've always admired Alesso's production quality, and it shines through here as well!</span></div> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><span style="color: #f1c232;">Rob & Jack - Shadows (Karboncopy Remix) [Astrx]</span></strong></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span></strong></span></div> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span> <div align="center"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/k6y_SxwdOUA" width="560"></iframe> </div> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">SL : I'm a big fan of Karboncopy. We still have "Trilogy" on all our DJ sets. This is a great remix by the guys, their all about quality over quantity!</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />A : If you are already familiar with Rob & Jack’s “Shadows”, then hit the play button on Karboncopy’s remix. Needless to say you’ll be blown away by the energy infused. That is what the Australian duo are capable of accomplishing. It’s a no brainer they were awarded a spot in DJ City's '7 Australian Producers to Watch in 2014'. We agree!<br /> <br /> </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><span style="color: #f1c232;">Beat Service feat.

I caught an early preview of this on Twitter and patiently waited for its release! Now its out and everyone needs to get a copy! Vocal trance at its best :)</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /> A:  I've been a fan of Beat Service since the early days when we had Madis guestmix our show. Glad to say he keeps surprising us till to date. Beat Service brings us a brilliant trance record and tops it up with the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Jess Morgan. Jess is also no stranger to the EDM vocal scene as she has worked alongside Dark Matters, Nitrous Oxide and Armin van Buuren.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> <strong><span style="color: #f1c232;">Moiez feat.

This highly energetic track could even run on its own steam but Moiez pushes it a step further by collaborating with vocalist Alina Renae to achieve an epitome of greatness. If that’s not mind-blowing enough, Samme & Almond brings their remix twist to the table and what you get is another dimension of superiority. All you have to do now is hit the link and enjoy!</span></div> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> SL : This track .. I could try to explain why I love it, and how Alina's vocals hits all the right spots, but it's really how it makes me feel which is why I have it on this month's list. I'm a big fan of Moiez and I think Samme & Almond did a wonderful remix here. Alina is also a recording engineer, so her combination of talent and skill really shine here. For a free track, the quality is more outstanding then some of the signed tracks out there.</span></div> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Catch up with the Malaysian DJ/producer duo at </span><a href="http://www.simonleeandalvin.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">www.simonleeandalvin.com</span></a></div> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /> <div align="justify"> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"> and look out for next month's edition!</span></span></div> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>

One thing is for sure judging from the exuberant after status’s, tweets and pictures it is definitely a festival that will go down in the history of partygoers as the biggest and best they’ve ever been too.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">We decided as a little special project to capture some of the moments and memories of ULTRA SA in one awesomely wrapped video-picture reel….JUST FOR YOU! </span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">RE-LIVE IT, RE LOVE IT, RE FEEL IT…..ALL OVER AGAIN!</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">All credit goes to the various photographers for capturing these moments!</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Track 1: Myon&Shane54 and Cole Plante, Ruby O'Dell - If I Fall</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Track 2: Gareth Emery and Krewella - Lights and Thunder</span><br /> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">Video produced by thinkINElectronic for thinkInelectronic.</span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <br /> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>HD Video</b></span><br /> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/1L2eSzigtCU" width="560"></iframe> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>Follow us on twitter</b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://twitter.com/thinkinEDM"><b>https://twitter.com/thinkinEDM</b></a></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>Like us on Facebook</b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/thinkinelectronic"><b>https://www.facebook.com/thinkinelectronic</b></a></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div>

Everything was bigger, louder and more epic in every way, but I was left trying to reconcile what I was witnessing to why I wasn’t having the absolute best night of my life. </span></div> <div

Innerspace in September 2013 as exhausted ravers poured out into the parking lot to find cryptic flyers wedged under their windshield wipers, bearing the Ultra logo and a caption that simply read “South Africa, are you ready?” What followed was an ambitious marketing campaign that involved projections of the Ultra logo on landmark buildings around the country. Soon enough electronic music fans were whipped into a frenzy upon the official announcement on 5fm being queued in by W&W’s remix of <i>Live For The Night</i> by Krewella. With each wave of artist announcements, with every Ultra billboard, radio and TV ad, South Africa was fast catching onto Ultra fever. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9l6cUKq1B142o6iuYgMGE2pnuSlSa7OXSM7vg2g5_VdWW5qCmP69OvZZwjkfy0vUr4B6XUz2373rSJ_EkLHbQNfNDhzz4qCxsBkfLdxEuGSJdKAbEGamG10swI5OfMScWzYL-dqK9U5g/s1600/ultra-mmm-lg-125.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="ultra south africa" border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9l6cUKq1B142o6iuYgMGE2pnuSlSa7OXSM7vg2g5_VdWW5qCmP69OvZZwjkfy0vUr4B6XUz2373rSJ_EkLHbQNfNDhzz4qCxsBkfLdxEuGSJdKAbEGamG10swI5OfMScWzYL-dqK9U5g/s1600/ultra-mmm-lg-125.jpg" title="goldfish" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Before I knew it, I was queuing at the gates at Nasrec, with nothing but anxiety and Instagram posts from the Cape Town leg of the festival the previous night to go by. My anxiety, partly due to a social media meltdown of whether Nasrec’s set up was big enough for the masses of fans expected and whether its less-than-glamorous facilities could deliver the same picture’esque festival vibe of Ostrich Farm in the Cape Town leg. As the night wore on, these fears were, in some cases, confirmed and in others proved to be unexpected blessings in disguise. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br /> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">The parking areas were littered with cars bearing Kwa-Zulu Natal, Lesotho and Namibia number plates. If you doubted the worldwide appeal of the Ultra brand, there were excited fans with flags from Bangladesh, Argentina, Italy and even the Czech Republic. Fans came dressed, if dressed would be the appropriate term, in modest amounts, instead opting for revealing as much skin as possible. Tank tops, shorts, Guy Fawkes masks, flower headbands and even ridiculous but hilarious onesies. Newcomers to rave culture were easily pointed out wearing jeans and polo shirts.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1L2eSzigtCU" width="560"></iframe><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Festival goers in Johannesburg had the options of raging to hard electro with 8 international headliners at the mammoth main stage set up, winding down to the soulful, deep house sounds of the Soul Candi stage or raging to electro again, but on a smaller stage, inspired by the East Rand’s H2O parties; so not much in terms of musical variety for the Johannesburg leg, as many bass fans felt a distinct gap in the night’s soundtrack for a more bass-oriented stage, akin to the Dansville stage in Cape Town to serve as something of a palette cleanser in-between stage hopping from the house stages.  <o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivC-EUutb2Idqh2o9W5G2c_ilrA-ufdkhNgPGI3Y4fKzsAlPH0KUwRv7C5NI6OqgZ6oewy2N8fxZYfcAwH8w_qnvLYROXLK_uXXnRtPuol3OJZegAyM0H8Iq1EiyAZTUX_NGRcJFe0ZGE/s1600/ultra-mmm-lg-129.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="martin garrix" border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivC-EUutb2Idqh2o9W5G2c_ilrA-ufdkhNgPGI3Y4fKzsAlPH0KUwRv7C5NI6OqgZ6oewy2N8fxZYfcAwH8w_qnvLYROXLK_uXXnRtPuol3OJZegAyM0H8Iq1EiyAZTUX_NGRcJFe0ZGE/s1600/ultra-mmm-lg-129.jpg" title="Ultra south africa" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I arrived as Goldfish were laying down their trademark, summery mix of electro and jazz at the main stage which was nestled at the end of a grass amphitheatre, in the company of warehouses and what looked like an office building, which was something of a constant visual disturbance in the overall hypnotising effect of the towering dome that made up the main stage. The dome was accompanied by rows of LED panels that increased in height on each side that gave off the effect of a giant music visualisation. The other two stages, understandably more intimate and modest in comparison, with the Soul Candi stage looking out over the massive mine dunes that are so characteristic of Johannesburg’s south. Later on in the night, these mine dunes became de facto canvases as laser images were projected onto them, with dazzling effect. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIMXrk1PXBa9E_6dFATgM0Y8bQzPVBCaUBxGaZrRhZefx9-nRy7S_Xhxs3bAdxHZHWm0cs9kjxfDNeXpu4H6qLXpZ5WMbBMCnGPx7sIS4VIwjvRHCN4C_rRcBhYe47tmBfc9FLVMy_96s/s1600/_B3A4052.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="w and w" border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIMXrk1PXBa9E_6dFATgM0Y8bQzPVBCaUBxGaZrRhZefx9-nRy7S_Xhxs3bAdxHZHWm0cs9kjxfDNeXpu4H6qLXpZ5WMbBMCnGPx7sIS4VIwjvRHCN4C_rRcBhYe47tmBfc9FLVMy_96s/s1600/_B3A4052.jpg" title="ultra south africa" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Relative newcomers, Blasterjaxx kicked off the onslaught of international acts followed by crowd favourite and undeniable man of the hour, Martin Garrix, who worked the crowd with relative ease, delivering a set of unadulterated Dutch house much like Blasterjaxx before him. We were treated to hits like <i>Wizard</i> and two renditions of <i>Animals</i>, one playing the part of a melodic set opener. Next was W&W who continued on a similar path, adding a touch of progressive house and crowd participation, as we raised our “W’ Signs with our hands to the setting Highveld sun. By this point, the crowd showed signs of fatigue from the barrage of hard-hitting Dutch house sets, which began to take on a relentless marathon of that unforgiving sound. Though taking cues from Hardwell’s sets and in some cases even using the same mash ups, either way you slice it, it’s the unmistakable sound of dance music right now, and the crowd lapped it up. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Krewella, up next, offered not only a much needed divergence in sound, but also in stage performance with band members, Yasmine and Jahan vocally navigating the cacophony of dubstep, drum ‘n bass and hardstyle with apparent ease. It was a high energy set complete with brief moments of trap and a strategic move to include more Dutch sounds to keep less bass-oriented fans engaged throughout. The crowd was blessed with hits such as <i>Legacy, Live For The Night, Killin’ It</i> and <i>Play Hard, </i>before ending their set to a shirtless crowd, with their foremost anthem, <i>Alive.<o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtvPh8MpRsuYzOd_t9TjFHTeFEzyw3gP7mHQMYXYZF9TuihcMJF6kWaLiuCAU9ktKxTdT4rJRm9Uj2v3nnQ8qdzTT1t_zuS0uKpKQ0ZoEA0FXZnh7wHovKybxSoKfLA9Bp6kFaRrE7xvo/s1600/_B3A4172.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Krewella" border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtvPh8MpRsuYzOd_t9TjFHTeFEzyw3gP7mHQMYXYZF9TuihcMJF6kWaLiuCAU9ktKxTdT4rJRm9Uj2v3nnQ8qdzTT1t_zuS0uKpKQ0ZoEA0FXZnh7wHovKybxSoKfLA9Bp6kFaRrE7xvo/s1600/_B3A4172.jpg" title="Ultra south africa" width="400" /></a><span lang="EN-ZA"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Absolutely spent and with a much needed change of tempo, I crossed over to the Soul Candi stage to catch local heroes, MiCasa with lead singer, J-Something, belting out a beautiful rendition of their breakout hit, <i>These Streets</i>. A far cry from the Red Bull, vodka and laser-tinged frenzy of the main stage, the Soul Candi stage opted for a more relaxed, soulful ambience, accompanied by Caipirinhas and sensual, slow grinding. MiCasa ended their set with their most successful hit to date, <i>Jika, </i>to much delight from the crowd as we joined in the Jika dance with enthusiasm. Local heavyweight, Black Coffee picked up where they left off, delivering a set of forward-thinking deep house and minimal techno, even slipping in a recent local favourite, <i>Remember You</i> by Beatenberg and DJ Clock. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Back at the main stage, Alesso, following on from a much talked about Nicky Romero set, kept the crowd in anticipation of his finale, dropping <i>If I Lose Myself </i>to much spectacle, while ushering in the “Main event” segment of the evening with Afrojack, contrary to popular opinion, dropping one of the better sets of the night. Opting to stay rooted firmly in the Dutch house sound he helped pioneer, while managing to keep it surprisingly fresh, even giving Miley’s <i>Wrecking Ball </i>some destructive edge. Ending in an explosion of fireworks and pyro, I was left wondering how the main headliner was still to follow on from this kind of spectacle. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnTpNeW11a6R0u1fyfM4mGASCxwkD8tnmKt35FvSRJXdPju2EadoeEjdVbsQhY36MEiYBcQZWzVUbSlBvvL4z6h4oV5xdx8yoJRsxcr68mMGwrC6Q1CkpMMffp0AFNvgyPFxMGBSzV6fw/s1600/DSC04776.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="nicky romero" border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnTpNeW11a6R0u1fyfM4mGASCxwkD8tnmKt35FvSRJXdPju2EadoeEjdVbsQhY36MEiYBcQZWzVUbSlBvvL4z6h4oV5xdx8yoJRsxcr68mMGwrC6Q1CkpMMffp0AFNvgyPFxMGBSzV6fw/s1600/DSC04776.JPG" title="ultra sa" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">20 minutes into Tiesto’s set many felt restless with his set’s lack of big hits, most seemingly unacquainted with his more classic trance hits, <i>Red Lights</i> and <i>Adagio For Strings</i>. The first segment of his set took on a more progressive sound, often feeling as though it had no clear direction, at which point small pockets in the crowd started opening as people slowly began leaving. His set’s saving grace, and the undoubted high point of the night was Afrojack crashing into the DJ Booth, putting Tiesto on his shoulders and taking over the set along with W&W, Nicky Romero and Martin Garrix, all joining in for an unprecedented back-to-back set between five Dutch acts, being later and rather hilariously christened by Tiesto on Twitter as “Dutch House Mafia.” Once the big hits began streaming in again, the crowd seemed to be reinvigorated with a renewed energy, raging their hardest that entire night for the final haul to the end with an Ultra-worthy conclusion of fireworks, lasers, smoke machines, DJs waving the South African Ultra flag, many suspended in complete and utter disbelief of what had just taken place. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes, I’ve had better musical journeys at smaller, more intimate parties but going into something like Ultra expecting a personal, more underground experience could only end badly. With an event of this magnitude, there are bound to be one or two flaws, in this case, mostly attributed to a not-so-diverse line up, but nothing could have went smoother on a production and logistical point of view. For a first edition festival of this scale in South Africa, the positive ripple effects will far outweigh the minor missteps. If we needed a louder confirmation of whether the electronic music scene in South Africa was ready for large scale productions, this was it. The scene is undoubtedly growing, so the logical move from the humble pond to the uncharted ocean was inevitable. In many ways Ultra South Africa was a statement, a liberation from small “electro” stages at festivals primarily catered for other genres, to finally getting to enjoy a fleshed out, international standard festival experience of our own. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br /> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi08CpNvpXk_lXtpd5bOaI6PShLzuZls1Dsd7Q33PRVTa5iYIfTPP9hpA42fRsKOsS7wGjOGWxc3-hLda0GQkKnxlWjFbpB9nZkoAqSYca9FnC6xIrJ8NtN1WfgI5m-9eyA43bxioNNtNQ/s1600/_MG_5292.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="ultra sa" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi08CpNvpXk_lXtpd5bOaI6PShLzuZls1Dsd7Q33PRVTa5iYIfTPP9hpA42fRsKOsS7wGjOGWxc3-hLda0GQkKnxlWjFbpB9nZkoAqSYca9FnC6xIrJ8NtN1WfgI5m-9eyA43bxioNNtNQ/s1600/_MG_5292.jpg" title="ultra south africa" width="640" /></a></span><br /> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My hope is that deep house fans that stumbled upon the main stage on their walks to the bars, might have discovered some new sounds and artists they hadn’t considered listening to before, and similarly with a local trance head finding new meaning in South Africa’s vibrant deep house and techno scene. As the tens of thousands of those that attended go out into their daily lives, spreading tales and stories of their Ultra experiences, as the Ultra South Africa aftermovie gets unleashed on YouTube and as thousands of Ultra Instagram posts flood timelines for months to come, it won’t be a surprise when many new faces line up outside the gates next year, itching to get to experience the madness that is Ultra Music Festival South Africa. </span><o:p></o:p></span><br /> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfPWZCrEDcjF_6-DwibRXZ3xXWVw1Svf7H3AyJ147wD5nJzBmDyUVBHq4VjyckzNrNPa3pV1WAaMYz_lnHyZNCCmEOPnNkW-2ugQaqoBB5ZLJNf5bkwnBtGyoo7149Hjew0mhI23RXFJc/s1600/122772-2c727c0a-f427-4fae-8209-d669df0888a9-ultrasa14b_2520361-original-1392978621.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="rukes" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfPWZCrEDcjF_6-DwibRXZ3xXWVw1Svf7H3AyJ147wD5nJzBmDyUVBHq4VjyckzNrNPa3pV1WAaMYz_lnHyZNCCmEOPnNkW-2ugQaqoBB5ZLJNf5bkwnBtGyoo7149Hjew0mhI23RXFJc/s1600/122772-2c727c0a-f427-4fae-8209-d669df0888a9-ultrasa14b_2520361-original-1392978621.jpg" title="tiesto" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">Review Done by @G1no</span></b></div> <span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div> <!--EndFragment--></div>

The last saw South Africans this excited was for the Soccer World Cup in 2010, and it was great to see those who don’t usually listen to dance music also in attendance. I attended the Cape Town event and here are some of my thoughts about Ultra South Africa:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I along with many of those attending left university early in order to catch the opening internationals, Blasterjaxx, and it was well worth it as their high energy and massive drops set a good tone for how insane the music was going to be. Many complain about the parking at the Ostrich Farm as it always takes a while to get inside the venue, but to me it didn’t make much difference and built my excitement as I could hear the music and the crowd while waiting in the line.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Ultra Mainstage was such a work of art and I could see why it took 4 days to set up. It consisted of a dome with the distinct “U” on top, flanked by vertically placed screens. In terms of the technical set up: the sound, lightning, pyrotechnics and lasers were all top quality. Exactly what one expects from the Ultra Worldwide brand. There were even fireworks which were definitely a first for me at a music event, and looking to the skies and seeing the amazing colours while hearing a beat drop will forever be one of my favourite moments. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The only negative I have is that it was difficult to find the other 2 stages and I only found the Goldfish Submerged Stage at the end while I was leaving.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In terms of music most the sets from all the DJ’s were top class and it was good to hear so much new music played. The first international duo of the evening Blasterjaxx set a high standard and their big tracks Mystica, Puzzle, Faith and Snake all went down. They even played their new collab with W&W in their set. The 17 year old wonderkid Martin Garrix<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>played one of the best sets of the night and it was amazing to see people running to the mainstage from the bar as he opened with Animals (Botnek Edit).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkZD38hwSTjEgkJAOKXnRhJCB0m9M97CHGDlO96-Jpu0BKoDVyAbRB4AAI_WEDO6YOTUKyYCOPKNoJvGlQyaRlTcpqAn4FY8sBAP7H6E_YOVLc1rbd7Ur1h8xiqi08AZKrh4bAfRWurcs/s1600/unnamed+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="ultra south africa" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkZD38hwSTjEgkJAOKXnRhJCB0m9M97CHGDlO96-Jpu0BKoDVyAbRB4AAI_WEDO6YOTUKyYCOPKNoJvGlQyaRlTcpqAn4FY8sBAP7H6E_YOVLc1rbd7Ur1h8xiqi08AZKrh4bAfRWurcs/s1600/unnamed+(1).jpg" title="krewella" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Thereafter the Dutch duo of W&W lifted things up a bit with their well known big room sound. Lift Off, Thunder and their new track Bigfoot got big reactions from the crowd. They also ended with their new track which features hardstyle maestro Headhunterz. It was good to hear some of their older tracks as well such as Moscow and the ASOT 550 Anthem ‘Invasion’. Another highlight of the evening was Krewella who combined dubstep, drumstep and hardstyle into their set, all to the lovely voices of Yasmine and Jehan who both sound even better live. Their energy massive energy got the crowd pumped up for three of the biggest names in dance music: Nicky Romero, Afrojack and Alesso. Another special moment was when Nicky said, “Ek is life vir jou” (*tears). Afrojack dropped his new track Ten Feet Tall features lyrics from Wrabel.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The headliner for Ultra South Africa was the legendary Tiesto who has conquered both the trance and the EDM scene. From what I’ve heard and seen there have been some mixed reviews about his set but personally I think his set was perfect. He opened with his vocal banger ‘Take Me (ft. Kyler England)’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>which was later followed by tracks such as ‘Hardwell – Apollo’ and even a remix of ‘John Legend – All of Me’. Which he dedicated to all those celebrating Valentine’s Day and only Tiesto could have pulled of dropping such an emotional song. Another big track was ‘Red Lights’ and then to top it all off Tiesto played Silence (W&W Remix) and the song of the night ‘Adagio for Strings’.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">All in all it was a very good night with an energetic atmosphere, vibrant atmosphere, world class production and insane electronic music.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I personally think that there should have been more trance DJ’s so that is something to work on for next year as it would be great for some other genre to be represented, like the likes of Ferry Corsten, Omnia, Protoculture, Andrew Rayel and so many more. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-ZA" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ultra South Africa 2014 will live our hearts forever and we will never forget the memories made.
