<span style="font-family: inherit;">"It is with great regret that we have to notify you of the unfortunate postponement of FFF. We could sit here and make up stories on why it could not go ahead at this stage but, we would instead, against the advice of many, tell you the truth and not blame it on anyone.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Everyone working on FFF was absolutely world class and every single entity, sponsor and investor have been nothing but special and truly supportive.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have started this dream with a basic idea, to create a festival that works on an international concept that would cater for those looking to experience a slightly more contemporary line-up and be packed full of entertainment options. A 3 day adventure on a safari resort with the best locals and international artist sharing the stage.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have worked hard and long on getting this concept to a stage where we could start with the actual<br style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />planning. The most important part of doing an event such as this is always, firstly doing market research and secondly securing funding. We completely underestimated the popularity and the pull a line-up like ours would have in South Africa. We wanted to do something completely unique and add the cream of the crop of international underground acts. We got great industry response but we relied too much on the current industry's reactions. We didn't take into account the general publics response which is not necessarily familiar with these acts yet. We didn't want to create a festival that is too commercial and thus we knew we would only cater to a niche crowd. But we underestimated the size of this niche also.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With funding coming from many different sources, we believed we have enough for the festival to be launched. We did rely somewhat on a certain amount of ticket sales also. About 3 months in we lost a big investor due to personal reasons and this really set us back a bit. We were concerned but we had options which we believed would carry us through. Some options came through and others didn't. We believed in our concept and our line-up and pushed on, relying slightly more on sales. Due to the current economical climate in SA and also the financial strains, which has pushed many events into submission, and lastly the "experimental" line-up as well as the current ticket sales situation, it left us with no choice but to postpone the event.We never gave up, every time we thought that we couldn't go ahead, we received another potential option. We had a potential option as late as this morning. Unfortunately finding investors for new concepts and ideas is a very hard sell, so we were forced to submit to the forces working against us and looked at a potential future date to continue the dream. We have confirmed with many involved to postpone their performances also.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So here we are. I would like to personally thank every single person who spent so many hours on this project so far, everyone who supported us from the start, all the amazing local and international agents and artists who gave us the opportunity and stuck with us till now, all the companies and individuals who did the marketing, logistics, technical, security and everyone behind the scenes, Tlokwe City Council, SAPS and of course all the fans.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With this in mind we would like to also offer everyone who already booked their adventure a refund on their tickets or accommodation package bought through us. Those coming from far that have already booked travel, please also get in touch by contacting us throughinfo@futurefusionfest.com. We do however offer you all a great opportunity with the option to keep your current ticket for the event for the new date plus offer an upgrade of your ticket to VIP + Backstage passes, free accommodation, hampers from the sponsors and up to R150 bar spend at the event.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We understand the frustration and disappointment of everyone that made made plans to come and experience the inaugural Future Fusion Festival but please know that we have done absolutely everything in our power to make this event go ahead and that we used all the possible resources available at this stage. We have applied for a national grant which is looking good and have new options to ensure we have enough funds for the event in the summer time later this year.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Please also direct every query or concern you may have to info@futurefusionfest.com and we will get back to everyone as soon as possible."</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.38;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.38;">One of the biggest names to be announced is Detroit techno pioneer Carl Craig, who runs the seminal Planet E label and has released too many amazing EPs and LPs to be mentioned. He has also put out some of the most classic remixes of the dance genre and has mixed it up for fabric whilst headlining every major club and</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.38;"> </span><span class="il" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.38;">festival</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.38;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.38;">going, both as a DJ and live act.

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.38;">Dennis Ferrer is of similar importance to the house genre. As chief of the Objectivity label he has nurtured a go to outlet for the finest club sounds of the day from himself, as well as young guns like The Martinez Brothers. He has also released with Jerome Sydenham on Ibadan Records, and Defected and has a unique tech and soul sound that own dance floors over the world. Joining these two big names will be stars from Hot Creations and Noir Records including like Lee Foss and Coyu, Innervisions pair Ame and Henrik Schwarz, Mathew Dekay and Miguel Campbell and many more besides.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Track Of The Day || Pleasurestate Ghost In My System </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">Theres a new trio on the block and they are bigger than slice bread. Presenting Pleasurestate!</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">After debuting for the first time at this year’s We Are FSTVL, producers/DJs MK & Lee Foss and singer/songwriter Anabel Englund have announced their first official release together as Pleasure State. Coming out on Jamie Jones’ and Lee Foss’ label Hot Creations, the group announce the highly anticipated release of 'Ghost In The System’ on December 1st.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">Pleasure State is a project driven by the group’s unusual implosive chemistry along with a vision to create melodic and impassioned house music. Their style is dark and sensual with haunting vocals, pulsing beats and uncensored subject matters. Successful in their own right, MK, Lee and Anabel bring a wealth of talent, experience and creativity to this new and exciting group and Pleasure State acts as a natural extension of who they are as individuals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">After Lee Foss met the intriguing Californian talent Anabel Englund, he brought her into his existing collaboration with house heavyweight MK, literally igniting sparks between the group, whose union was formalised with the stand-out track 'Electricity' for Hot Creations. Pleasure State have carved out the time all over the world to get together and create, and they have now delivered this exceptional EP.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">The evocative ‘Ghost In The System’ is inhabited by a sinister presence created by Anabel’s chilling vocal which is accompanied by a bouncing bass and distorted rap and the result in a full on haunting of an atmospheric dance track. The EP features the politically charged and hip-hop influenced dance record ’Subject Matter’ and a 12 minute remix of ‘Electricity’ from Detroit techno legend and Grammy award winner, Carl Craig.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17px;">We first heard Ghost In My System in a set before MK's essential mix back in like Feb, and we felt an instant connection. We happy to see that it finally has a release date. Massive vocals, insane production, the track is a masterpiece. </span></div>
