Very occasionally, this blog will post press releases about upcoming events, usually when they’re late-breaking and it’s the best avenue to get the information out. So, from Electric Music, promoters for the South African leg of the Skrillex Mothership Tour, comes news of a the multi-Grammy winner doing workshops in Langa on Thursday 28 February, 2013, alongside our own Niskerone, and courtesy of BridgesForMusic. If that’s is your music, it’d be silly to miss this.
