Future Frequency is an avant-garde electronic music festival next taking place on March 30. It aims to push the boundaries of the way we think about electronic music by incorporating hi-tech music in low-tech settings, drawing a contrast between the sounds of tomorrow and the aesthetics of the present.
The latest of the forward-thinking festival series will be taking place at a brand new container yard in Salt River, Cape Town. Party-goers can expect to see an active depot used to store and transport shipping containers. The space is untouched by any other event, and it’s rough, edgy landscape is set to compliment the hi-tech music selection. The fact that it is only ten minutes from the Cape Town City Centre makes it easily accessible by cab, shuttle or UBER- safety first.
Headliners for the night include French artist, Julian Jeweil, and German artist, Roman Flügel. The chart-topping regular, Jeweil, will be providing a melodic style of techno. Flügel, one of the biggest names in the German music scene, has been characterised as a “chameleon”, visiting a variety of styles from ambient/idm to house, techno, electro and leftfield.
