Sound Squad New Years Revolutions
The Sound Squad is an events company based in Cape Town, South Africa which focuses on outdoor events, primarily the New Years Revolutions festivals. Sound Squad promotes emerging electronic music by offering a much needed platform for local artists, and encouraging interaction between different genres.
Sound Squad has built up a substantial following over the three years that they have been in existence. Now approaching its 4th year, the New Years Revolutions event has come along way since it inception. The event was born out of a common love and passion for electronic music and the absence of such an event where friends could gather, en-mass and celebrate the turning of the new year in a beautiful environment. Previously, in order to enjoy the freedom and the benefits of an outdoor event, namely the beauty, fresh air and nature in South Africa, one had to look towards the trance scene.
Each year's festival has been held at a new venue. The venues are selected after an intensive search based on factors like facilities, access and beauty. The venues are not more than one hour outside of Cape Town.
