A regular on the Zimbabwean DJ scene, this muso has been on the decks for over 20 years.

CU_Rage to debut

Hailing from Swakopmund and thrilling audiences in their native Namibia for the past few years, the CU_Rage unit will make their debut at the carnival. Having played with the best DJs in Namibia, they will now energise this New Year's festival with their dubstep and house skills.

Last but not least, the award-winning record producer and composer Eleftherios Mukuka will bring an exhilarating cultural blend to the festival. His diverse mix of genres and innovative approach to fusion music melds together Greek traditional music with sub-Saharan African sounds, in both classical and electronic dance music form.
