Imagine: Paradise Beach Trance Party

Immerse yourself in a mind-bending psytrance experience amidst the natural beauty of a secluded Gordon’s Bay strip of shoreline

Imagine: Paradise Beach trance party undulates back onto the shores of the Kogel Bay Resort just outside of Gordon’s Bay from Saturday, 21 March to Sunday, 22 March 2015 to bring party-goers an end-of-season jam in one of the most picturesque settings around: lush greenery, pristine beach sand and the Helderberg Mountain form the backdrop.

Swiss progressive DJ Tezla is making the long trek down to the tip of Africa to headline the affair, but a host of local psy hotshots are also on the bill, including Headroom, Deliriant and Dan Scot.

Another reason to go? Kogel Bay Resort forms part of the greater Kogelberg Biosphere and is considered the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom, so prepare to be enchanted by the landscape as well as the music. Similarly, as it’s still technically summer in March, braver stompers can leap into the ocean to cool off after working up a sweat on the dance floor.

Other than yourself, and of course good vibes, you’ll want to bring a tent (camping is the order of the day), your own booze (no glass) and sun cream. Alcohol is prohibited on the beach by law, and this will be strictly enforced, but as long as it remains in the campsite, all will be good.

About Tezla

For those not familiar with Tezla, the 26-year-old DJ exploded onto the scene thanks to his 2013 hit single, ‘New Ways’, a collaboration with Ranji.

Currently, Tezla’s more recent remix of Ranji’s track, ‘A Little Bit’, is at number 16 on the Beatport Pro Psy-trance top 100 chart.
