We’ve turned the page to 2026, and we invite you to kickstart the year with a late-January Genre Fluid Fiesta in our cozy Woodstock music studio.

 

We’ve been cooking up something fresh, juicy, and delightfully unexpected to counter the intensity of Cape Town’s infamous dry summers. Yes, we are bringing live music, genre-bending beats and a special performance from our special friends SABC4 into the Genre Fluid fold. With that framework clearly in place we are thrilled to announce the evening’s agenda.

 

THE FLOW
17:00 – 18:00ish
Doors open. Chilled tunes, friendly banter, homemade ice-tea or a drink to slip cooly into the evening.

 

18:00 – 19:00ish
Open-mic jam session opened by (Uncle) Andrew Van Diemen, featuring Sai Moop (Akalika), Thabo Krouwkam (Thabo and the crows) and those musicians among us who are keen to have some fun together. Instruments, voices, rhythms are welcome. Come play, listen, or simply soak it in.

 

19:00 – 20:00ish
SABC4 takes the stage with a live afropop + afrohouse set that will lift the room and set the tone. This one is not to be missed.

 

20:00 – 21:30ish
The liquid grooves of Lakritsi with genre-blending, mood-shifting, body-moving goodness.

 

21:30 – 23:00ish
Dol’gina brings it home with a sultry, soulful blend of her favourite genres from funk & hiphop to house & electronic music of all kinds.

 

WHAT’S ON OFFER
• The lovely Lady’s Brew serving up her delicious fermented cocktails, full of fizzy & exotic flavour
• Our dear TeaMaster Sean Du Plessis hosting a DIY tea-blending lounge upstairs. Mix your own tincture… sit, sip, connect
• Non alcoholic drinks will be on sale
• BYO alcoholic drinks (fridge to keep things cool is available) & BYO cup! Let’s leave less trace 🙂

 

DRESS CODE
Come dressed as your favourite genre. Punk rock? Berlin techno? Jazz? R&B? Or maybe Chaotic post-hardcore? Go bold. Go weird. Go nostalgic. Go full fantasy. All styles encouraged. Genre rules happily broken.

Tickets are limited so make sure you get yours (and your plus 1’s, 2’s, 3’s). Let’s dive deep. With love for music, arts & crafts. The Genre Fluid family
