Cape Town Electronic Music Festival releases 137-track compilation in lieu of 2020 event
With the ninth edition of the South African festival cancelled due to the global pandemic, organisers opted to put together an extensive collection of tracks that reflect the weekender’s various stages in lieu of the event, with revenue going towards artists and the affected industry supply chain. Four Tet, Egyptian Lover, The Hacker, Ectomorph, Aux 88, Henrik Schwarz and DJ Food are among the international names contributing music, while Black Coffee, Floyd Lavine, Culoe De Song, Kid Fonque, Shimza and Rose Bonica represent the South African scene.
When purchased as a full album, the package also comes with 15 live performance videos, an “insider’s guide” to some of Cape Town’s key cultural institutions, and a collection of digital artworks including something from Abdul Qadim Haqq, the legendary Detroit artist who put visuals to the likes of Drexciya, Underground Resistance and Planet E.
Listen to the compilation in full.
