With over 20 years in the industry, Keren Onay has solidified his place amongst the heavy weights in the

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

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)

Having risen through the ranks with pure passion, insane skill and determination as his driving force, Keren yet still considers himself honoured to have a place as a regular act at most of the major events in South Africa.

Pixie Bennett has entertained live audiences all over the world with a soulful on-stage presence and the ability to evoke nostalgia in music lovers and partygoers.

As a Top 7 finalist in the reality TV series IDOLS, she broke into the South African market over a decade ago in 2009. This opportunity allowed her to receive a significant amount of press and media publicity and perform to an audience of millions across Southern Africa.

From there, she took on the role of the frontwoman of The Pixie Bennett Band, performing on the festival and corporate circuits within SA, sharing the stage with top local talent before embarking on a solo career.

Gaining recognition in both the Afro House and Pop Rock cultures, several singles charted on leading commercial radio stations locally. With a hit Afro House track, “City Lights,” produced by DJ Whiskey, she released through Soul Candi Records on their acclaimed 10-year anniversary compilation.

“Shapeshifter,” produced by UltraTone, was later signed by the label, and Universal Music Records released her full-length album produced by the late Craig Massiv.

After a musical sabbatical, she launched the single "Synchronize," an Afro Deep House collaboration track with Josi Chave and Balata, which includes a remix by the legendary house band Studio Apartment (Tokyo).
