CTEMF 2016 Artwork SquareMy favourite electronic music festival celebrates its 5th installment this coming February 2016. CTEMF is a boutique electronic music festival held in Cape Town, South Africa. With the focus on showcasing a variety of electronic genres, the festival aims to feature the many facets of electronic music, from original styles like hip hop to later styles like dubstep. For the second year in a row, the Cape Town Electronic Music Festival 2016 will be held at the iconic Cape Town City Hall. CTEMF is already being recognised as one of the world’s best up n coming festivals and has been featured in numerous publications overseas.

Today they have announced their PHASE ONE international line up and it includes the godfather of drum n bass (and one of my favourite dnb artists), GOLDIE (UK). Trip hop group Nightmares on Wax (UK), House duo Harri & Domenic (UK) and minimal techno artist Boris Brejcha (Germany).

PS This includes the R20 Nutickets fee. At first I really hated Nutickets for charging us for the service “Total booking fees comprise charges for IT services, credit card charges and other administrative fees allocated by the event organiser.” but then I asked myself, ‘would I rather drive someone right now and buy a ticket or sit here on my PC & buy one?’ The latter, it’s cheaper than spending the petrol and time driving to get tickets.
