Son of legendary Bobby McFerrin, beat-boxer Taylor McFerrin blends futuristic hip-hop with 60s soul. The late night slot serves up the unmissable Shangaan Electro, a flamboyant combo of decks, dance and revved up beats from Soweto. Late Night At The Bar: Shangaan Electro and Roleo First Night favourites Shangaan Electro will be bouncing onto stage for a very special late night set of new wave dance straight out of Soweto, South Africa. Taking traditional Shangaan dance music and revving it up to a frenzied pace they'll have you shaking your booty to the fastest marimba solo's you've ever heard - just try and keep up with the crazily energetic Shangaan Electro Fusing elements of trad hip-hop, contemporary wonky, electronic synth madness and glitched, pimped 8 bit flavours beatsmith Roleo will take the Bar into the wee hours. Gaining high rotation on Fbi for his solo efforts while producing for local hop hop crew the Daily Meds, Roleo is one local wonder who won't be staying local for long. Free from 11.30pm
