On its fourth edition, the event will see the return of South African house group, Black Motion to the local stage after many years as one of the headliners. Interestingly, Black Motion returns to Botswana following its break-up and the departure of one of its founding members, Morda Bongz, who left to begin a solo career. The group now has a new member.
The event will also feature fellow South African DJs, Darque and Tefo Foxx and Mpho.Wav. From the local shores there is Teaz, Benny T, DJ Lexx and Bo Kettle.
