Parties: !DIRTY!DIRTY! Friday, August 7 (Jozi) + Renaissance Man Mixes

It's Oppikoppi this weekend, but if you aren't going, well then there really is only one place you can go:


Press Release:

THE GODS OF DANCE SMILE DOWN ON YOU JOHANNESBURG...

WE WILL BE PARTYING WITH SUPER DUPER HONOURABLE GUEST FRIENDS BRETT JACKSON (BEST DJ I SEEN IN JHB...SERIOUSLY!!), KING OF TOWN, DATA TAKASHI AND MINI K.

LINEUP:

BRETT JACKSON - HOUSE, THE GOOD KIND
A weekly resident on popular dance music radio shows locally & abroad and at some of the hottest clubs and lounges across the country the press have said, “Brett Jackson shows an uncanny sense of the dance floor groove…tracks are blended with a subtlety and assurance that would normally be missed amongst the hubbub of a club dance floor in full swing…there's underlying intelligence and vision…”

KING OF TOWN - ITALO & SPACE DISCO
Producer/Remixer and DJ based in Johannesburg, South Africa, making discofied remixes for all and sundry. Recently released two remixes internationally, which you can check out via www.beatport.com: They Came From the Stars, I Saw Them - Moon Song (King of Town With Moonbeams in His Crown Remix) [Thisisnotanexit] and Desmond and the Tutus - Kiss You On the Cheek (King of Town Remix) [Tigersushi]

DATA TAKASHI - RUBBERBAND BASS
Data Takashi has never lost the wild eyed wonder of a true fanatic. His knowledge and taste have mushroomed uncontrollably, but with this has come the precision of maturity that allows him to single out the perfect set to accommodate the dancefloor.

MINI K - NEW JACK FIDGET
Mini K is a 19 year old producer who has been driven by the love of funky baselines and crazy beats his whole life. Mini K continues to produce bass driven, up tempo fidget which makes u wanna jump. This is just the beginning of the road for this young producer. Expect more funky beats to be released in the near future.
