Two margaritas and one flash tattoo deep, I pull up to District lus for a little boogie. A line-up dripping with nostalgia brings out the lesser-spotted middle-aged Capetonian who likes to talk about the good ol’ days of MK and still remembers the Jam Alley theme song. Nomadic Orchestra set the tone through resonant brass and bounce. The funkiest fivesome. The premiere party princes. And through it all they remain impeccably consistent. I celebrate with a tequila. Daddy don’t disco but mama still likes to rock the hell out. Ask any of the MILFs there for The Dirty Skirts. A near-fatal infection almost took Maurice out a few months ago? Talk trash. The man’s giving peak performance. Their bassist but also their backbone. I celebrate with a tequila, clearly on my own stellar bender. Southern Wild return triumphant, flanked by a new figure in guitarist Conrad Birch. But led at helm by Dave van Vuuren and his emotional intensity. Lock eyes with him mid-song at your own peril. Man will speak to your soul and have you believing we really don’t get out alive. I celebrate with an… uber home because I’m responsible like that. Or am I?

Thank you to everyone who attended Dusty Dreams!
A massive thank you to all the incredible artists who delivered amazing sets from start to finish — the energy was next level. It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to be the first artists to play on the hottest new sound system in Cape Town! 🔥
And lastly, thank you — everyone who came out and shared the dance floor with us. At the end of the day, you make the party, and what a vibe you brought! The energy, love, and connection on that dance floor was something special.
We are forever grateful for your support, your presence, and for bringing all the vibes. Much love to each and every one of you! 🙏❤️#melodichouse #capetownclubbing #lectriclicks #lectriclicks #melodichouseandtechno #decompressionparty #reunionparty

Over the past decade, @district.ct has carved out its own legacy in Cape Town’s underground as an essential venue for the city’s live music scene.
Behind the noise and behind the scene are Carl Du Toit (@carldutoit94 ) and Barend van der Walt (@steelpak ), two of Cape Town’s hardest-working, and arguably most talented, sound engineers.
