Orient Art Showcase Cape Town

ABOUT

TORONTO’S DEEP HOUSE HITS CAPE TOWN

Cape Town — Straight out of the deep house scene of the Toronto underground, and for the first time on African soil, Orient Art, in collaboration with Deep House Toronto hits the shores of South Africa for Orient Art Showcase Cape Town.
 

On Thursday 4 May join the international crew of the Toronto-based record label and artist collective Orient Art as they take us on a journey through uncharted sonic landscapes and into the territory of uninhibited auditory expression. Bask in a one-off night of deep house, otherworldly beats and audio transcendence, all hosted at Cape Town’s intimate, Julep Bar.

Returning from a pilgrimage to AfrikaBurn 2017 Play, The Orient Art Showcase Cape Town will bring the visionary after-Burn glow and share something truly special; a spirit of creativity fused with new sounds and usher you into an awakening, like you’ve never heard before.

WHAT IS ORIENT ART?

The Toronto-based record label and artist collective focus on an intellectual expression that overcomes the limitations and barriers of language. At their heart they channel a sophisticated collaboration of traditional sounds with modern electronic music that aspires to translate the human mind directly into art, no filter.

ORIENT ART SHOWCASE CAPE TOWN LINEUP

ABOUT ZAFAR (CAN)

Toronto-based artist and visionary, founder of Orient Art and organiser at Deep House Toronto. The sound Zafar proposes is contradictory, ever-changing and never static, moving from one realm to the other. His vision is to seclude the two hugely contradictory aspects of the music industry; music and its often-controversial monetisation by filtering out everything but pure art.

ABOUT BONJOUR BEN (GER)

Originally a child of reggae, Bonjour Ben started DJing in his early twenties and, with the help of the tight DJ community, he established his organic sound. After muscling in on the lineup of his local clubs, Bonjour Ben has become a staple of the progressive house scene, including appearances at Watergate, About Blank, Sisyphos (Berlin), Institut fuer Zukunft (Leipzig) and the Tanzhaus West (Frankfurt am Main), Amsterdam, Zürich, London and more. 

ABOUT MUSTAFA (CAN)

Mustafa Ismaeel is a DJ and producer from Toronto who is constantly redefining his musical boundaries while creating emotional, rich and unique journeys. Born in Iraq, growing up in India and maturing in Canada has had a major influence on his sound, which is incorporated in his music. With recent performances in Dubai, Goa and Montreal along with many upcoming releases with some major international labels, Mustafa has nothing but huge prospects on the horizon.
