    Euphoria Music Festival launches in SA

    The Euphoria Music Festival, which is a US-based electronic and dance music festival, held annually in Austin, Texas, will expand in 2015 to include two dates in South Africa.

    A sound and light spectacular combining cutting-edge visual elements and stage design, Euphoria Music Festival aims to create a unique combination of togetherness with nature, new friends and the best in electronic, deep house and indie South African music.

    Launching the South African shows, Huddle Park, Joburg on 20 November will host Euphonik, Kyle Watson, Chunda Munki, Felix Laband and Matthew Mole.

    Felix Laband is an icon in the electronic music scene. He creates light, emotional, minimalist soundscapes by combining several styles and samples from classical, jazz and old television recordings overlaid with instrumental performances by himself and other guest artists. Kyle Watson's sets are smooth and balanced, and have evolved into a style of forward-thinking house music that borrows from bass, techno, deep house, garage, jacking and tech house. His appreciation for every genre of music has given Watson his unique and eclectic sound and it is because of this that he has secured himself a spot as one of South Africa's most successful internationally acclaimed dance music producers.

    Pretoria

    Three weeks later, Pretoria will be set for a line-up that includes DJ Fresh, Kyle Cassim, Euphonik, Pop Art, Vimo, Kyle Watson, Chunda Munki, Matthew Mole and Desmond & The Tutus.

    DJ Fresh is one of the most iconic names in South African house music. Over 24 albums, successful radio career on 5fm, performances with Frankie Knickles, Armand van Helden, Paul van Dyke, Fat Boy Slim, Viny Da Vinci to name a few, the Big Dawg is a highlight of the day.

    Kyle Cassim, a name that is no stranger to night clubs all over South Africa. After doing his five-gig tour to The Netherlands last year, performing alongside legendary artists such as Franky Rizardo, Skitzofrenix and Jeff Doubleu, Cassim has been commanding dance floors all over South Africa.

    Adding a unique twist to this year's festival, the inclusion of pop and indie will ensure that fans of music are treated to an eclectic mix.

    Tickets for both shows are now on sale from Computicket, Shoprite, Checkers and Checkers Hypers across South Africa.
