15 & 16 February 2013<\/div>\n

In March last year the first ever Cape Town Electronic Music Festival was held at the V&A Waterfront rooftop parking lot. I didn’t go so was doubly keen to do so this year, especially since headlining the Friday night was Canadian techno legend Richie Hawtin.<\/p>\n

A great thing about an\u00a0inner-city festival<\/a>\u00a0like the CTEMF is that, while like most festivals, it spans multiple days there’s no long drive to the isolated venue<\/a> and no fuss of camping<\/a> \u00a0– you can go home, sleep in your own bed, use your own shower and, when you want to head back, it’s easy and not far. As much as I love camping festivals<\/a>, it’s really nice to have a more convenient option too.<\/p>\n

I headed through on Friday after 5pm; Liver, \u00a0Ruffest and Tommy Gun (whose family, including grandparents, were there to support) were playing out the afternoon and easing things into the evening.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
