Headline act: Nora En Pure
About
At the core of Indie Dance and Deep House music, Swiss based Nora En Pure is on a quest to fulfil her need to arouse feelings of bliss and inject unconventional and serene sensations to be carried out into the world. The vivid South African, has already proven to be quite productive, what resulted in deep and funky works of audible engineering for the label Enormous Tunes and Tokenish since 2009. Besides her passion for Africa, only music has been able to steal her feelings to that extent leading her to dedicate more and more mind and soul to it. The melodic but mesmerising club music has been fashioning a big and an undoubtedly dedicated fanbase.Her Remix for Daniel Portman’s KHAWERI in 2010 got huge reactions from all global players, became the preferential mix of the single and launched her career as a producer. In 2011 her track YOU MAKE ME FLOAT hit Top 50 of Beatport charts, made the cut onto legendary Buddha Bar Compilation and got over 500k views on Youtube. In fall 2012 she released AURELIA, which became a requested club hit and made it on various compilations. Her crossover chart hit COME WITH ME first saw lights in February 2013 and made its way up on top of Beatport charts, and remained in Top100 for over 7 months.
2014 has been a great year as well for Nora En Pure, and has seen her touring all over Europe, South America, North America, Africa and Australia. On the production side she has collaborated with the likes of Wretch 32, Aston Shuffle, Adrian Lux and Klingande and her records have made her a Top100 selling artist.

About
Multimedia artist, free thinker, ardent opponent of anything authoritarian, Greg Tendwa’s style is described as mending social reality through music, photography, fashion, food, stories & games.Gregg Tendwa pioneers a sound called ‘Bengatronics’. “It’s that afro-goodness brewed when benga music meets electronics. It’s some comedy when keeping authentic vibe alive. It’s here. It’s a journey through Afro-pop to Nu-Disco, to saving Benga music. It’s a neutral moment. Without borders yaani bila mipaka in Swahili”.
He is the man behind the WIBO Culture movement – an experimental, self-evolving art initiative that envisions an open and connected global community through culture and the creative arts. In music, Tendwa is a DJ, producer and remixer who brings an Afrolectic aesthetic to his works. His choice of music can be described as full of afrogoodness blended with a layer of percussive sounds from the diversity of African instrumentation. His selection often ranges from Afrohouse to Afrofunk, Afropop, Afrojazz, Afrosoul, and Afrobeat, and whatever other experimental music formats that appeal to his style.In 2015, his performances have seen him tour Arusha, Jinja, Kampala, Dar Es Salaam and Amsterdam, in addition to headlining the EABL Shekereka Tafrija promotion launch in Nairobi. He has shared stage with German Dj Duo Schlachthofbronx and the Jimmy Hendrix of Kora, Sekou Kouyate from Guinea at Up Life IV.
