Ibiza World Tour heads for SA

Coming at you from all over the world are some of the hottest and most famous international DJs you will even have the pleasure of seeing: Klingande (France); Michael Calfan (France); Da Cat (France); Peyton (US); Pascal & Pearce (SA); Dennis Kruissen (The Netherlands); Nigel Stately (Hungary); Kool & Kabul (Germany); and C Delgado ( Belgium).

These are the DJs who travel the world and each has his style and signature sound, which makes this electronic dance music festival so exciting.

Klingande is a young duo: Cedric and Edgar, who use both the decks and a live saxophone to create their distinctive house-meets-sax sound. After hitting number one at Hype Machine (twice) and receiving 60 million combined views across YouTube and an additional 6 million plays on Soundcloud, Klingande are about to take SA by storm. Their debut single, Jubel, launched earlier this year, is already a massive success in Europe.

Michael Calfan achieved worldwide success for his signature sound, having held the number one spot on the Beatport Top 100 chart for three weeks for Resurrection. He was officially commissioned to remix international hits, Turn Me On, and She Wolf for David Guetta.

A house classic

Peyton's first official mix topped dance charts around the world and went on to become a house classic. Thereafter he had a string of follow-up anthems (I'll Rise, Celebrate, Ride Like The Wind) fuelling his reputation as one of house music's brightest new writers and vocalists. His distinctly recognisable voice, in an industry dominated by female vocals, finally resulted in Peyton being the only male nominated for Outstanding Vocalist of the Year at London's House Music Awards.

Da Cat is regarded as a messenger for house and techno music around the world. His style brings a unique vibration to the dance floor. He likes to be different because, he says 'this is underground'. Da Cat has played at Space; Privilege; Amnesia, and Pacha nightclubs in Ibiza where he gained worldwide fame. For many years he played summer in Ibiza and winter in New York City.

Pascal & Pearce have one goal: to rock as many dance floors as possible. A typical set can be summed up in three words: energetic, enthusiastic and inspiring. They have played at over 50 top clubs around South Africa, as well as alongside international DJs, such as Paul Oakenfold, Wally Lopez, and Stupid Fresh. Their tune Disko Biskit burned up countless parties in 2009/10 and had success not only at home, but topped the charts abroad. Pascal & Pearce have done official remixes for many South African live acts including Locnville, Gold Fish, Flash Republic, Zebra & Giraffe, Crazy White Boy, Lady Lea and Good Luck.

A new phenomenon

Dennis Kruissen is a new phenomenon from The Netherlands. His career only started a few months ago when he became famous for playing a really great selection of deep house and chill-out music on his monthly podcast.

Nigel Stately was born in 1985 in Budapest and his passion for playing music came at an early age. He started to play publically when he was only 15 years old. He started to make promo mixes in different music styles like deep house, nu disco, chill out, progressive house and tech house, which is what brought him real success. In 2010 he started his own creation: Deep Café, which opened the doors to the world and he has since played in several countries. He is very proud of his more than 12 million followers on YouTube.

Kool & Kabul is a German guy from Hamburg who's just at the beginning of something big. Recently known for his remix of Klangkarussell and Freedom, he works very hard on his projects. Definitely experimental, he is expected to come up with some great surprises on this tour.

Delgado was born in Belgium, the country of festivals. His career started when he was 16 years old and he is now spends his time touring Europe to play his great mix of music.
