So you may remember the Cape Town Alive crew headed to Madame Zingara a couple of months ago for the launch of their Love Magic tour. Needless to say we had a great time and have been supporting them ever since and it is fair to say that the last 16 weeks have been a great success! However what goes up must come down and as they say all good things must come to an end.

Where’s your head at...? 

 Say these four simple word’s to any person who’s been near a dancefloor in the last few years and the automatic answer is BASEMENT JAXX! The London dance music duo of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe have been pounding out clubbing classics since the 90’s with numerous dance chart smashes such as ‘Romeo’, Where’s Your Head At?’, ‘Bingo Bango’, ‘Red Alert’, ‘Goodluck’ and their latest ‘Raindrops’. Their meteoric debut Remedy was hailed as one of the most important records of the '90s, winning props from press, fans and club luminaries Danny Tenaglia, Armand van Helden and Daft Punk. It’s Miller Time!
