Corona SunSets Festival Durban 2019

In it's second year running, Corona SunSets Festival Durban proved to be another success with it selling out on the day. 5,000 revelers partied the night away at the Shongweni Polo Club to the sounds of some of SA's best artists. The weather was brilliant and made for an epic SunSet moment, which was enjoyed by all present with an ice cold Corona in hand. This years SunSets festival saw the addition of a new stage, the Crown stage which was an indoor dance floor that added to the magic and ensured festival goers had an experience they would not forget. It was a much welcomed addition and was well received as crowd favourites like Strange Loving, Benny Maverick and Durban's own Coco Loco hit the decks. 

With the anticipation of a bigger crowd, organizers ensured that no one went waiting for their favourite refreshing Corona or cocktails as there were plenty of bars and top up stands to load more credit on your wrist bands. The Food Village was amazing as well, catering for every ones tastes and cravings! From pizzas, to pancakes, coffee's and cakes it had it all! 

The VIP area also got bigger with a lower deck in view of the main Griffin stage and it's mesmerizing mandala. Due to a sudden illness, headline act Felix Jehan had to cancel last minute but local DJ Culoe De Song was on hand to close out an epic festival. Before him the guys from Mi Casa had the crowd buzzing and jiving with their hits. Belgium DJ the Magician stole the show for me though, his mix of groovy and deep house beats just set the mood for a perfect evening out. Overall this years Corona SunSets Festival in Durban proved to be raving success for both organizers and attendees. Hopefully this will put Durban in a good position to see the Festival return for a 3rd year in 2020 but for now, Joburg you're next! 7 December see's Fisher and Nora en Pure take over Corona SunSets Johannesburg and it's sure to be an epic one!

A limited number of phase 1 tickets have gone on sale for both shows and if the sales of the early bird tickets are anything to go buy, you bet get yours now!

Monday Choon: Kyle Deutsch - Summer Love

Summer is here and there's nothing like getting you feeling festive like a good track that would be the soundtrack for the holidays and I think local pop sensation Kyle Deutsch nailed it with his latest track, Summer Love. Teaming up with award winning producers, Ganja Beatz, they giving us yet another reason to long for the heat of summer, this coupled with his Corona #ThisIsLiving tour across the east coast is the perfect way to kick off the summer vibes. Speaking to the Ganja Beatz, they had this to say about the track "This vibey alternative pop house feel is laydon with catchy melodies that will have you humming along all day" while Kyle had this to add "The track has the uncanny ability to make you feel nostalgic and optimistic at the same time. Either way you know its for the right reasons". The track is out on the various online streaming services and should make the radio waves pretty soon, we have the official music video for it below.

Monday Choon: Cara Frew - Dance

We're bringing some local flavour this week as apposed to International artist that seems to be the norm in this segment. Cara Frew's career has skyrocketed over the past few years, she's performed to some of the biggest crowds locally and in the world, including Coachella. I saw her perform live at Ultra and Corona Sunsets Festival, her energy she has on stage is mesmerizing and her voice is nothing short of beautiful. She currently is based in LA where she's signed onto Sony records and recently debuted her new single Dance. It has been played for about a month now on the local stations and has been received really well. It's currently one of my favourite tracks at the moment so it only fair that I feature it on the blog. Enjoy!

Monday Choon: Kyle Watson & Popartlive - Sink Deep (Nora En Pure Remix)

It's the second day of 2017 and the first post of the year for the blog, quite fitting that it all starts with a Monday Choon! While some may be back at work, many are still enjoying pretty much in party mode. It's hard to deny that this summer has seen and increase in Deep House fans, myself being one of them and the number of Deep House parties this summer is a testament to that. The Corona SunSets Festival showcased some of the best in the business, one of the artist whom performed there was none other than SA's very own Kyle Watson. Kyle who collaborated with Popartlive for his hit track 'Don't Talk' which featured on the playlist of many local radio stations found himself back in studio with Popartlive for today's featured track. I first heard the song on Tiesto's Clublife podcast and it caught me offguard but was pretty stoked to hear another South African artist music being played on his show, others include Nora En Pure who did the remix to 'Sink Deep' and is our featured track of the week to kick off 2017. 

Corona SunSets Festival 2016

As far as musical festivals has to go, I can confidently say that last Friday's Corona Sunsets Festival was easily one of the best I've attended. Whilst it might not be the biggest, it did draw close to 6,000 people, couple that with the most gorgeous setting and venue for an event, add some of the best artists locally and internationally and you have yourself one hell of a show! The setting couldn't be more perfect, The Bungalow in Clifton, nestled on the coastline of the Atlantic with Lions head over looking and the 12 Apostles on the side, it really was stunning setting. The set up was just as awesome, with the SunSet projection stage having the back of Lions head behind it, dance floor prepped with beach sand, shaded areas for you to chill in and a host of bars serving ice cold Corona's or Corona inspired cocktails and food stalls for those in attendance. For those who wanted something a little extra, there was the VIP area at the Bungalow. 

There's a lot to celebrate with local SA music and that was evident from the stellar line up, with Tresor, Cara Frew, Kyle Deutsche, Sketchy Bongo, Strange Loving, Crazy Whiteboy and Kyle Watson taking charge of the stage till sunset, when the international headliners took over. First up was Sam Feldt, the Dutch DJ who was accompanied by a violinist on stage really got the crowd going with  his hits such as Runaways and Summer on You. Next up was a local lass who has been making quite a name for herself abroad, Nora En Pure her track Back to the Beach was a firm favourite with many and she even dropped her latest track 'Diving with Whales', onto the finale for the night, the much anticipated Duke Dumont, performing for the first time in the country really stole the show. It was everything we anticipated and more. The awesome projections onto the main stage were mesmerizing to say the least and the show ended with a brilliant flame and pyrotechnic exhibition but nothing to loud or big to disturb the locals. 

Honestly, this was one of the best events I've been to, quality all around, from set up to the artists and venue. If Corona SunSets comes back in 2017, you can bet your bottom dollar I'd be back there again...with more sunblock this time round though.  

Monday Choon: Duke Dumont - Ocean Drive

In celebration of this weeks Corona SunSets Festival which see's the deep house legend Duke Dumont grace SA with his presence, this weeks featured track is taken from over a year ago from English producer.
