What went down at the Mixmag Lab Cape Town with Bridges For Music
Our first ever Lab in Cape Town was a landmark one – hosted alongside non-profit organisation Bridges For Music, who help to empower underserved youth through music and education
For the first time ever, we took The Mixmag Lab to Cape Town last month alongside Bridges For Music, a non-profit organisation who help to empower underserved youth through music and education. Arriving in Langa, South Africa’s oldest township, on May 28, the debut Mixmag Lab Cape Town marked a special moment for everyone involved.
Taking place at Bridges for Music Academy and powered by AlphaTheta, our Cape Town debut featured both BFM alumni and rising stars on the line-up, with Athie Umgido, CA MA GU, and Nyala all appearing on the bill, alongside a headline set from GRAMMY Award-winning artist Zakes Bantwini, who closed the show with a momentous performance.
“To hold the very first Mixmag Lab in Cape Town at the Bridges For Music Academy, in Langa Township, is an honour and a privilege,” says International Development Director at Mixmag, Nick DeCosemo. “Bridges For Music is a wonderful organisation, doing great work in uplifting electronic music culture and providing education and opportunities for young people across Southern Africa. We could not be prouder of this partnership.”
