South African electronic music industry. Always staying true to his influences having deep roots in techno and

the progressive sound spectrum. Keren follows his instincts to charge the crowd with positive energy, leading

him to be/selected as the opening performance for international acts such as the ingenious Trafik from Global

Underground as well as Tiefschwarz from Souvenir Music to name a few.

We have heard his cutting edge sound across dance floors at Truth Nightclub in Johannesburg and the majority of night clubs across Cape Town and Durban, and at/all leading music festivals.

We also tuned in to 5fm regularly to hear him being aired on Friday & Saturday nights to hear him being aired on South Africa's broadest dance music radio shows as well as youth radio station UJFM for many live

radio interviews about dance music history and it's future in South Africa. A regular feature at the Ultra Music Festival SA on the Resistance Stage and the legendary H2O festival, the latter of which he also hosted a crowd favourite - The Sunday Funk Floor. Keren Onay is also the mastermind behind the Sunday Funk brand cementing itself as one of the biggest Sunday events in Johannesburg. Sunday Funk has maintained it's spot as the place

to be since it burst onto the scene in 2013. Hosting incredible renowned international artist from around the globe

such as Alex Stein from Brazil as well as Raxon and Shall Ocin from Maceo Plex's imprint Ellum Recordings. Major headlining techno artist: Hatzler - Senso Sounds and the esteemed main stage act ANNA (Brazil)

Description
Her interest and total love for DJ’ing was sparked the first time she stood behind a set of turntables and made the records spin. She describes this ‘fell in-love’ feeling as “the butterflies you felt in your chest and stomach when you got your very first kiss – total infactuation!”
Candi’s first love is the turntable – as in her opinion – there is nothing sexier than a hot lady DJ mixing on a set of turntables!

Musically inclined from a very young age, Iain Wylder’s music career started classically, when he learnt to play the piano, flute and violin at school. His interest in the genre of EDM started in 1992 listening to local weekend dance shows and it was in 1997 that he took to the decks for the 1st time. Having been a co-creator of the very successful TrancePort & Over-Board Boat events and forming the TrancePortation, TranceAfrica & Drumming 4 Africa online radio shows as well as having a previous residency at Truth Night Club, you can be assured that all your Trance based itches will be well scratched with this Tequila guzzling bwot.
