Dear FCNYE guests…

It is with agony & overwhelming sadness that we have to deliver the news of our cancelled NYE festival.

The organisers have worked hammer & nail to curate something of which dreams are made and done everything possible to prevent this foreclosure. For reasons beyond our control and extenuating circumstances we have no choice but to offer our most humble & sincere apology for any inconveniences caused - especially at this very festive time of the year.

The Quicket team will be issuing your full refunds soonest.

We THANK ALL OF YOU kindly who have supported us and express our deepest sadness in delivering this heart-breaking news! Please can everybody involved respect the privacy of the organisation teams during this difficult time as we face this challenging situation.

🙏😢

🔥LEEU - JHB

Leeu is a steadfast of original Suid Tronica, paints heart across a range of rhythm and tone that shakes the ear, foot and soul.
Leeu is formally a music producer, and now more recently a live performer. Living in South Africa we cannot deny the deep rhythms nestled around our horizons. With this as a foundation for his expression, his music reminds people that sound and frequency is the universal collective. This idea and inspiration is carried throughout his Life. An exhibitionist whose inner child has a knack for making sounds . His music has been uploaded, downloaded, remixed, and replayed. If you're seeking warm hearted grooves, his rhythms are in cyberspace.

Alex takes influence from a wide variety of traditional South African sounds, musical genres and instruments while using electronic music as a vehicle. His journey took him to Norway for 3 years, where he made the ultimate transition from Lex Orbit to Leeu - a persona and identity that he connects and associates with on a much deeper and personal level.

🔥PJ EALES
PJ’s fascination with dance music began in the early 2000s when a group of local misfits introduced him to Johannesburg’s underground party scene. From there he spent the next 10 years on dance floors being influenced by the music he heard, all while building up his own collection of electronic music. In 2011 he moved to Cape Town and made the transition from dancer to DJ, learning to play the music he’d spent years searching for. His first set was a closer at Cape Town’s iconic club Chukkachurri and over the years he’s had the honour of playing most of the Cape’s premier clubs and festivals, including a few appearances on Make Believe’s own stages.

🔥NATASá - JHB

Vibrant yet reserved, humble yet explosive.
Nataša's music selection is expansive, having played some of the country's top clubs and festivals from sunrise to sunset, and being a lover of the dance floor herself, she has the knowledge and understanding to command floors at any time of the day or night. From the slowed down, chuggy downtempo & electronica through to the indie, progressive, melodic house, and all the way to the fast-paced high energy techno, her groove and passion is felt throughout and delivered with a foothold in calculation and finesse.

🔥MIKE KENNEDY:
‘MK’ is the product of an evolution of music that coursed through his veins during his earlier years…having earned his stripes (as a metal-head in the late 80’s & laser-beam therapist in the early 90’s) in the booming caverns of London's techno scene.

With a dedication to seeking atypical soundscapes and mastering the art of morphing his constantly-evolving collection together within a typical dj set, is what keeps the crowd guessing. His repertoire has seen him embrace new directions in sound as and when they happen, keeping his sets fresh and ahead of the times.

🔥MEGAN JANE
Spanning a 6 year career, Megan Jane has performed at many festivals in and around Cape Town, with Smalltown Beat, Afrika Burn, RTTS and at the Wolfkop festivals being her greatest accolades. She’s also had the pleasure of gracing the city’s most established bars and nightclubs such as Modular, Lido Bar, Public House, Harringstons, Club 101 and Minimal. She recently gained international experience whilst traveling for a year around Central and North America, getting bookings in Tulum, Mexico City and Guatemala.

Her obsession with finding new music attests to each of her sets being unique and thought-provoking. The sound she likes to expose listeners to is eclectic and ever changing, usually expressed through broken beats and more recently being influenced heavily by bass music. With a goal to bridge the gap and find marriages between genres, and as her sonic style cannot be put into a box, she strives to constantly evolve, to always surprise and never play it safe

🔥Matt Blitz’s love affair with electronic music started in the ’90s as an underage dancer who used to sneak into warehouse raves, which led to promoting parties so he could bankroll a pair of decks and start playing.
Matt has had a deep involvement in Cape Town’s music scene, having co-created iconic club brands I Love Digital and BASSMINT and was one half of much-loved techno duo Black Book. Matt’s love of a range of genres is felt through the energetic voyage he takes each dance floor on, keeping dancers punching the air and wearing our their soles.

🔥LUKE TAYLOR
Luke is a fan of complex melody and intricate percussion in his downtempo sets, with a beautiful vocal in the mix when necessary. Starting slow, building the tempo into house or even techno grooves, the sets are always transformative of the dance-floor, both in mood and intensity. Luke serves his downtempo crowd with the music they didn’t know they needed to hear.
Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, Luke leverages his exposure to the rich drumming, dancing and outdoor energies to create a unique, personal sound which is uncompromising and of the utmost sonic quality.

FCNYE / '23-24
https://www.fullcirclenye.com/
Make-Believe: an independent, experience-based production brand (founded in London, UK in the year 2000), Make-Believe spearheaded the underground dance culture in Durban & Cape Town in the early 2000's.

Having hosted a plethora of international talent locally-at a time when electronica & techno music was almost frowned upon, Make-Believe went on to a string of 1-day events in unique locations (including boats, rooftops and a train station) with its flagship 'Train Party' events-for which it is most notorious.
Make-Believe then galvanised past experiences and went on to create 'The Spirit Train' - a mobile, state-of-the-art, all-sensory beast of the desert!

FCNYE / '23-24
https://www.fullcirclenye.com/

'The River'/World’s Apart is situated in Bonnievale - a low-lying valley between Robertson and Swellendam, with the crown jewel being the Breede River that passes directly through it.
One can expect an intimate atmosphere that beckons for a unified NYE experience...whilst still enjoying the absolute freedom of the lush trees, flowing river and surrounding beauty.
After the heavy Winter rains the main festival area metamorphosed from a lush grassy embankment into a fine, sandy beach! Which is distinctly unique...and an absolute treat for festival-goers basking under the hot December sun with the Breede River just a crawl away!
Bonnievale is also credited with being one of our main exporters of wine, making this region a hot-spot for wine-lovers.

GLAMPING is on the move, so get in whilst still available!

FULL LINE-UP ANNOUNCED SOON!!
