Steve Bug & Zabiela@ South Africa's Global Breakthrough (February 2007)

Global Breakthhrough organiser Jamie Joseph chatted to Skrufff this week about the
line-up for her next Cape Town clubbing festival and revealed that Renaissance,
Azuli and Defected will be participating as well as DJs Norman Jay, James Zabiela
and Steve Bug.

The German minimal maestro has become one of South Africa's biggest crossover stars
off the back of his remix of Freaks' The Creep in recent years, said Jamie and is so
popular that he'll also be playing a massive rave in Soweto during his trip.

"To get 10 000 township people to a Steve Bug gig is fairly easy, black people know
exactly who he is," she said, "Though whether or not the people from Soweto will
enjoy a full two hour set of minimal techno is another story but we're still trying
to work it out and I'm spending a lot of time with the more underground black
promoters."

The Poker Flat chief will also be spinning at a 'luxurious private beach party' for
Global Breakthrough in Cape Town in keeping with the many other unusual locations
included in the event, which include a castle for James Zabiela, a shark filled
aquarium for Ame, and a mansion for the closing party. The overall event though
will be centred around Camps Bay, a beachside location packed with bars and
restaurants. James also stressed that South Africa's high crime reputation shouldn't
put off any visitors."

"You got to put it into perspective, all these high crime rates are based on rural
South Africa. No tourist ever sees rural South Africa, certainly not clubbers," she
insisted.
