“We want to build the industry from the underground and we want to inspire young people with artists and professionals who are in the industry,” event organiser Sakhe Motshoene told Music In Africa.
“We are also trying to unearth new talent because there’s so much going on in the industry. We want fresh new ideas and this is a way of getting the industry – under the banner of house, dance and electronic music – to speak with one voice.
“We would like organic, real people who are genuinely interested in the event to get something out of it and that’s why most of the artists and speakers featured have hardly been in local publications in the past year. Nothing like this has been done before.”
“The conference will give participants an opportunity to explore potential developments in music, media, technology and culture while aiming to unite and educate people,” the Dance Music Summit said. “It is also designed to equip musicians with information on various topics and insights into the evolving music industry.”
