Cape Town Old Skool Music Festival

The inaugural Cape Town Old Skool Music Festival on 20th of December 2014 at The Good Hope Centre with its three dance floors, each playing different genres of music from the 70’s/80’s/90’s Disco, House, Funk, Hip Hop and Jazz promises to be The Mother of All Old School Parties.
Starting the afternoon at 2pm till late at night, festival goers had better have their dancing shoes on for what is going to be the party of the year and we happen to have a fantastic giveaway further below in this article.

This event was conceptualised and organised by Uncle Cal & The realROZZANO who our regular readers would know are responsible for some of the greatest themed retro parties and have brought together some of SA & the world’s iconic soul funk groups in concerts like The Whispers Live as well as The Men of Soul concert.

As with everything else these guys do, the Cape Town Old Skool Music Festival will be as authentic to its theme as anyone who has partied in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s will remember since Uncle Cal, The realROZZANO and all of the other hosts DJ’s and artists are themselves icons who have influenced dance culture since that era.
If you happen to be too young to remember then this is your opportunity to first-hand experience Old School at it’s very authentic best.

The Good Hope Centre will be set up to emulate a club-hopping experience from back in the day with three different ‘clubs’ each specialising in their own styles of entertainment.

The Flashback Show to be held in The Main Arena will be hosted by popular DJ, MC and Comedian Uncle Cal.
This soul, funk & jazz specialist has been entertaining South African masses from pubs, night clubs and festivals to corporate motivational and team building experiences. His radio show The Flashback on Bush Radio attracts a wide variety of listeners from all over South Africa and abroad.

The Main Arena will be transformed into a chic, smart night club with draping and a plethora of intelligent lighting, mirror balls and smoke machines. So Think Club 54 and music by greats such as Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, The Village People and the Bee Gees.
Other popular DJ’s of the era who will be performing at The flashback Show include Brian Bo Horne, Chris Berrer, Selwyn Bartlett and Andre Swanepoel aka Mr Mo.

The Planet Base Reunion at The Basement will transport you back to the 70’s/80’s/90’s underground Hip Hop & House style!! Encounter the talents of DJ/Turntablists creating scratch artistry on a vinyl tapestry and balancing stylus in retro & contemporary hip hop grooves, whilst B Boy’s contort their anatomy and MC’s lay down the verses over perfect beats.
Witness Freestyle Dancers jacking their bodies to underground jack trax and acid house music.
The Basement of the Good Hope Centre will brighten up with a backdrop of industrial nightclub graffiti art, complimented by intelligent lighting, a massive sound system and big screens.

The realism of The Planet Base Reunion will be complimented by live stage performances from the actual top Cape Town Rap Artists, DJ’s and Freestyle & Breakdancers who themselves were pioneers of the Hip Hop movement back in the day who all added to what made The Base in Cape Town the legendary Hip Hop & House Club that it was.
Keeping the wheels of steel spinning will be The realROZZANO, The Big L, DJ Tony ACE Smith, DJ Eazy, DJ E20 and DJ Reckless.

The Jazz Revival at The Drommerdaris Hall will be where you can enjoy an unbelievable atmosphere featuring top local jazz artists and featuring the talents of DJ’s Keith Davids, Neville Louw and Mark Grainger.
Recreating the vibes of the 70’s & 80’s jazz clubs, the Jazz Revival will also feature a unique ensemble of musicians specially selected for this event.
