CAPE TOWN ELECTRONIC MUSIC FESTIVAL 2013v&a Breakwater parking february 15 - 17
festival info
March 2012 saw a selection of Cape Town's electronic music scene come together in celebration of its existence. Through a series of development workshops, Satellite events and a core 3 day festival the process of presenting an annual look into the multi facets of South Africa's electronic music scene had begun.
Now one year on, the CTEMF proudly reopens it window onto the ever-growing world of South Africa's electronic music scene.
Once again we reach back to the roots of how it all started, and discover what continues to inspire. Who has progressed and why and who are the names to watch. Which global artists shape trends in South Africa and more importantly who are the South African artists that are shaping trends globally.

Tuesday 12 Feb – Thursday 14 Feb
Without the pyramid of industry that exists behind every successful artist there would be no artist for us to engage with. With out these structures in some form many of the artist you know of today would have never left their bedrooms.
It is the efforts of this industry that supports the creative arts and in particular electronic music, and allows an artist to pursue their calling as a serious career
We team up again with Red Bull Studio to present the workshop component of CTEMF. Once again a collection of various esteemed Role Players will take part in lectures, panel discussion and workshops. They will dive into what it takes to become a successful artist in today’s market as well as the various aspects that make up the industry of electronic music.
The goal is to reveal some of the mechanics that go into forging a career in electronic music on and off the stage.
