<span style="font-family: inherit;">S<span style="color: black;">ó</span>nar<span style="color: #333333;"> Cape Town and presenting partner Olmeca Tequila have been hard at work securing more top international and local names for this year’s highly anticipated Cape Town event. While the lineup already includes international </span>artists<span style="color: #333333;"> 2manydjs (DJ Set), The Bloody Beetroots (Live), Jon Hopkins and a host of South Africa’s best local talent, the team is excited to announce the addition of the phenomenal <b>Ten Walls</b>, <b>UZ</b>and <b>Sir Vincent</b>.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;">With less than two years on the </span>circuit<span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">and just three EP’s to his name, Ten Walls has already become a force within electronic music circles. ‘Gotham’, his first, went on to conquer main rooms and festival stages worldwide, and during the summer of 2013 achieved underground anthem status. His follow-up, ‘Requiem’ continued this momentum by hitting the coveted Beatport number one spot and his ‘Walking with Elephants’ track has only been snowballing in popularity since its release. The evolving live performance offered by Ten Walls is defined by creativity and intricate production and this year he aims to push boundaries both sonically and visually.</span><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Trap artist UZ was discovered on Soundcloud and has already had massive support from like-minded global producers, Diplo and Flosstradamus. UZ’s debut EP was released on the Mad Decent ‘Jeffree’s’ sub-label and has been played hundreds of thousands of times across Soundcloud and other platforms. As a person UZ remains mysterious, but his music is anything but: raw and powerful, but with a laidback tempo, he gives listeners a chance to slow down without losing momentum.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><u></u></span><br />
<h3 style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">Renowned as an industry leader and innovator, Seed Experiences is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with non-profit musical charity Bridges for Music.</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Seed Experiences has committed to partnering with Bridges for Music for the next twelve months across all Seed events as it looks to solidify the relationship between the two companies. To kick-start this, Seed Experiences plans to raise substantial funds through various means – one being the launch of its “Charity Complimentary Contributions Initiative”.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The initiative means all complimentary tickets will now be charged at a percentage of the actual ticket price across various ticket types and all of these funds will go straight to Bridges for Music. This will begin with Seed’s upcoming annual properties Rocking the Daisies and Vodacom In The City.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Initially, the funds will assist Bridges for Music to build a music school in Langa Township in the Western Cape. The school will add further weight to an already robust educational program that includes a scholarship program with SAE Institute, which has seen 12 young artists attend short courses – and the launch of an annual one-year Higher Certificate in Sound Production scholarship in partnership with the Black Coffee Foundation. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To date the bulk of the fundraising has been driven by the internationally renowned Resident Advisor platform, and has seen support from many high-profile artists across the planet helping raise over 70,000 euros so far.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Partnering with Seed Experiences is an exciting next step in our evolution and it is encouraging to see such a well-established and respected promoter making a real tangible commitment to making a difference to disadvantaged communities through music,” says Trenton Birch, Bridges for Music Africa Director.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Brian adds: “We are very excited about this initiative. While we will be rolling out further fund-raising initiatives that will include donations, sponsor campaigns and workshops, what this does is educate the wider music community and involve them in the process of upliftment and education through music. The people who generally receive comps to our music events are fans and people who can afford to pay the full ticket price. So paying a small amount, knowing that it is contributing to this great cause, which is directly related to music and growing the industry in South Africa, should be met with enthusiasm.”<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A complimentary ticket for Vodacom In The City will be R100; the normal ticket price is R450.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Vodacom is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated winning band for this year’s Open The City competition.

This culminated in the energetic Open The City Session event, where the finalists had one last chance to sing for their votes.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">P.H.Fat is a Capetonian rap group made up of Smooth Mike (the voice) and Narch (the beats). Together, they make electro rap tracks that are best played loud. They’re the guys who do things a little differently; they don’t have a record label and they give their music away for free. If you’ve ever seen one of their explosive live shows, you’ll understand why they have over 26 000 Facebook fans and a crowd banging down the doors to get in.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The Kiffness' deep, infectious sound was pioneered by passionate sound engineer Dave Scott, who was later joined by his musical partner, Black Norris, a.k.a Mvelo Shandu, who plays bass and drums in the band. The duo's relationship was harnessed from endless hours of singing in the chapel and playing jazz together at Michaelhouse High School. This unique, melodic electronica will have you hypnotised. Watch out for their instrumental talent and uninhibited dance moves - you won't regret it. </span><u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Plastics are a quirky, retro rock band that likes to make their friends dress up in gorilla costumes. They make melodic, disco-flavoured rock, peppered with a lot of lyrical genius. In 2008 they released their first EP, <i>The Plastics</i>, followed closely by another one called <i>Kiss The Plastics</i> (2009). Both were distributed for free - because they're nice like that. Since then, the band has been dishing out hit after successful hit. Their live shows bring with them heaps of infectious energy, fuelled with elation. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Bye Beneco is raw, organic and dreamy, with an underlying gypsy-folk, blues spirit. If that sounds confusing, make sure you see them perform as soon as you can.</span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Relatively new to the scene, soft and folky Bye Beneco is fast making a name for themselves as one of the bands you</span> need <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">to see live. They're known for swapping instruments throughout their set, and delivering tight, clean, swooning vocals that hit you where it matters. Expect a unique, intense energy that is truly palpable - on so many levels. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For last year’s winning band, Cape Town’s Al Bairre, playing at Vodacom In The City has propelled the band further in the local music scene. "Being voted by the public as the winner of Vodacom Open The City last year was such a dream,” says the band. “We were treated like royalty the whole day and got to rub shoulders with and perform alongside some of our international musical heroes. Performing to so many people on such a large scale really cemented our thinking that this is definitely something we want to pursue further."<u></u><u></u></span></div>
