Cape Town’s Beatenberg, best known for their hit track ‘Chelsea Blakemore’, won the audience over with their charming, upbeat performance.  We can’t wait for their next album due out in March.  <u></u><u></u></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">The final local group on the line-up was Bed On Bricks who opened for Bastille. The crowd loved them! Charismatic vocalist Mike had everyone dancing to their fast-paced funk rock, setting the scene in anticipation for the headline act.<u></u><u></u></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Threading all performances together were dynamo duo 5FM’s Fix and Rob Forbes, the event’s MC’s who certainly injected fun into the day.  Having supported Bastille’s tour from the onset, we take our hats off to the station for the hype and excitement they created around it.<u></u><u></u></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Headline Sponsor Nokia, gave the fans something to remember with their photo booths for picture-sharing and Lumia1020 activations. It was clear that both the fans and artists recognize how sponsorships add weight to shows of this magnitude, so big up to Nokia for their support that helped step the production up a notch.<u></u><u></u></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Of course the company behind the tour is Seed Experiences, the true professionals who have the festival scene waxed.  Not only were there were ample bars, toilets and food vendors, but they erected on of the biggest stage structures that has ever been set up on the African continent.  With Rocking the Daisies, WE ARE ONE, Sowing the Seeds and Vodacom In the City in their portfolio, their winning formula’s going to see great things from them this year.<u></u><u></u></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Keep an eye on what they’re up to here:<u></u><u></u></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SeedExperiences" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr></wbr>SeedExperiences</span></a><u></u><u></u></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/weareseed1" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/<wbr></wbr>weareseed1</a><u></u><u></u></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">@SeedExperiences</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">Major Lazer is an electronic dancehall DJ project created by American DJ/producer Diplo. Formerly a collaboration along with DJ/producer Switch, they parted ways in late 2011. Diplo has since enlisted producers/DJs Jillionaire and Walshy Fire (of Black Chiney) to help with the production and live shows.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj13qI7tW-Hkumd8WiBVIDLhiDJxnFNhu5LYdowyVbmH323goeh8KmM7ChkwqIErbs0BWuRBRDQBzj5JZSnZbBaVz8wor6ZRNPNU1-qtw6OGYQoei_V3hAWzLNJRGvgHD4toJl6Fduz3Zw/s1600/majorlazer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" loading="lazy" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj13qI7tW-Hkumd8WiBVIDLhiDJxnFNhu5LYdowyVbmH323goeh8KmM7ChkwqIErbs0BWuRBRDQBzj5JZSnZbBaVz8wor6ZRNPNU1-qtw6OGYQoei_V3hAWzLNJRGvgHD4toJl6Fduz3Zw/s1600-rw/majorlazer.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <span style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">Years after the zombie apocalypse ravaged the galaxy, Major Lazer went into isolation after bringing peace and order to Earth. With the help of a mysterious shadow government called Cinco he was cryogenically frozen as a safeguard for the future’s wellbeing. Despite a great many years of pursuing peace on the planet, a new threat began to loom on the horizon and the commando was brought out of sleep by the Committee of Five. This intergalactic group faced an opponent that only Major Lazer could defend against: his former superior and commander General Rubbish. Rubbish had come out of deep space hiding with a new weapon…Terror Lazor and was set out to enslave and capture all of Earth’s allies to seize inter-galactic planetary control and then destroy Earth. With dwindling resources to defend Earth and it’s allies, the Committee of Five brought Major Lazer out of cryogenic slumber. He was assigned a partner, the female assassin known only as Knife Fight. Together they set out to FREE THE UNIVERSE, beginning on the fortuitous date of February 19th, 2013.</span></div> <div style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">After releasing their landmark LP Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do in 2009, the heroic production duo of Diplo and Switch found themselves boldly marching forwards toward the end of the aughts, conquering major milestones. From 2009 to 2011, the twosome toured extensively across the United States and the world, selling out shows and performing at some of music’s major festivals, including Coachella, Pitchfork, Sasquatch, Outside Lands and Falls Music & Arts Festival. In 2010 Major Lazer released Lazerproof, a free download mixtape with pop sensation La Roux, and Lazers Never Die, an EP featuring two new tracks and three remixes, including one by Thom Yorke. Undoubtedly, one of the foremost breakthroughs for Major Lazer during this time was the production collaboration with Beyonce on her massive hit “Run the World (Girls)”, which sampled their track “Pon de Floor. Beyonce directly sought out Switch and Diplo, recognizing the fact that the duo was creating authentically innovative music and further cementing their status as a production team worthy of worldwide mainstream attention. As 2011 turned to 2012, Switch determined it best to pursue his own path, leaving Diplo in full control of Major Lazer.</span></div> <div style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, as the sole executive producer of Major Lazer, Diplo continues to spearhead the current dancehall revival movement with the upcoming release Free The Universe. The recording includes exciting collaborations with Bruno Mars, Tyga, Flux Pavillion, Wynter Gordon, Shaggy, Wyclef, Ezra Koening from Vampire Weekend, Dev and more. Spin called the LP’s first single “Get Free” featuring Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors, “a meeting point between Jamaica, West Africa, and Brooklyn.” The second single from Free The Universe, “Jah No Partial”, dropped on October, 22nd 2012.</span></div> <div style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Diplo (AKA Wesley Pentz) has risen through the ranks and has asserted himself as one of the most pioneering producers of the time. Through unending curiosity and exploration of the vast multitudes of the world’s musical heritages, Diplo has managed to seamlessly connect the global underground to the audio mainstream. He is the Grammy-nominated founder, owner and head honcho of Mad Decent records, which has not only garnered widespread critical and audience accolades since its inception, but has also deservedly earned a hefty reputation as a vanguard of groundbreaking releases. As Major Lazer, he recently retreated to Jamaica to team up with producers Ariel Rechtshaid and Dre Skull on the upcoming Snoop Dogg album Snoop Lion “Reincarnated”. Major Lazer was also featured on the title track from No Doubt’s latest comeback album with famed dancehall artist Busy Signal and released an official remix for Hot Chip’s “Look At Where We Are”.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <br /> <div class="userInfo__description" style="background-color: white;
