SONAR CPT: Bloody Beetroots & 2ManyDJs Announced

I posted about the World famous SONAR Festival that is set to go down in Cape Town on 16 December, at the Good Hope Centre a while back. If you missed the original announcement, you can check out my post [here]. The World famous festival that originated in Barcelona, before spreading like a musical plague around Europe, has announced their first two International acts. One being a DJ set in the form of 2MANYDJS, and the other a LIVE performace by the kick ass BLOODY BEETROOTS!

A Taste Of Sonar!

Sónar Cape Town and presenting partner Olmeca Tequila are proud to announce the first headlining artists for its December edition and introduce a satellite event in Johannesburg: ‘A Taste of Sonar’ on Friday 12 December 2014, featuring a selection of the international acts set to perform at Sónar Cape Town, including 2manydjs (DJ set) and The Bloody Beetroots (LIVE).

Known as “The City of Gold”, Jo’burg has a reputation for being a fast–paced, urban melting pot of people from various different cultures and backgrounds. A Taste of Sónar will be held at the industrial Nazrec Expo Centre, just south of the city centre, where it will become a meeting place for people from all walks of life to come together and celebrate music.

The Bloody Beetroots

Led by Italy’s enigmatic Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, The Bloody Beetroots are well known for their ability to work any dance floor with hyperbolic tracks and floor-rinsing drops. Following a hugely successful DJ set in Cape Town in 2009, The Bloody Beetroots are returning this year to South Africa to play at Sónar Cape Town and A Taste of Sónar in Johannesburg with their critically acclaimed full live show.

2ManyDjs

Having performed at this year’s Sónar Barcelona as well as many previous editions, 2manydjs are no stranger to the Sónar family. They mix an energetic fusion of everything from tech and progressive rock to R&B and funk and are praised for consistently pushing the boundaries of electronic music into new and innovative territory. As brothers they also play as well-known band Soulwax and with James Murphy as Despacio.

For 21 years Sónar has explored the sonic spectrum and been a large part of the evolution of the electronic music scene by recognising, developing and showcasing the best talent from around the world. Sónar Cape Town will be no different. Sónar’s commitment to the South African electronic music scene will also mean a host of established and emerging local talent will have the opportunity to be noticed on an international level and to develop skills on a local level.
