HALO

‘HALO’ feat JASON WAN WYK [ Black Hole Recordings ]
Saturday 23 January 2010

THE CONCEPT

For the first time in Cape Town, a concept dedicated to the Global Sound of Trance and Progressive is born. An emphasis on the journey through kick and melody, an assault on the senses, piercing vocals and rolling bass lines…amongst a community of smiling faces

This is…

‘HALO’

Mixed-Up Productions is the proud Pioneer of this, the initiation of the Cape Town Trance & Progressive Movement.

Through our weekly radio show Come Down Monday, we strive to keep people up to date with what’s happening in the Trance & Progressive Industry.

Through the ‘HALO’ events themselves, we endeavour to bring Cape Town a taste of this global phenomenon with top quality Trance and Progressive artists, both local and from abroad, each one carefully and specifically chosen, to perform and entertain, in their own unique way…displaying just how amazing, live Trance performances are.

For too long this Culture has been both admired and feared from a distance all the while, being the largest Electronic Dance Music culture in the world.

The intention of this concept is to broaden Cape Town and South Africa’s views on Global Music, by inviting it to take part in this, the first step towards a truly International, Electronic Dance Music culture.

THE EVENT

The first HALO event of 2010, sees the introduction, to South Africa, of Black Hole Recordings’ newest artist.

‘JASON VAN WYK’

Jason has just had his new EP [ ' Always' / ' Once Again ' ], signed to the prestigious ‘In Trance We Trust’ Record Label, under the BLACK HOLE RECORDINGS Stable.

Working full time as a Music Producer and Performer, with his tracks being released and licensed to record labels such as Warner, Sony, Black Hole, Armada, Spinnin’, Alter Ego, Media, and Redux, not to mention an exclusive publishing deal with the prestigious Cloud 9 Music Group, the future looks very bright for this rising young star.

Seeing Jason hails from Cape Town, this event also boasts HALO’s first exclusively local artist line-up, with ‘HALO’ and ‘Come Down Monday’ Residents,RORY MITCHELL.,SCOTT SMALL and SHAUN HOLIDAY supporting!

Added to the line-up, is the artist behind one of ‘Come Down Monday’s’ most popular ‘Guest Mixes’ in 2009, VIRGO, adding a ‘breath of fresh air’ to the evenings entertainment.

THE VENUE

BUTTERFLY STUDIOS is situated at the bottom of Bree Street in the Cape Town CBD. It is a beautiful, white, wide open canvas for creating the HALO concept within.
