Playing on our company name BORN::FREE– the term given to the generation of Southern African youth born after independence from colonial powers – GET::FREE encourages, simply, the permission to liberate oneself, communally, on the dancefloor. The lineup of DJs are curated not based on genres or BPMs alone, but rather on the belief in their collective ability to raise vibrations for audiences regardless of their musical preferences.

The brief to DJs is to promote the best of experimental Black sound with unforgiving bass lines and melodies that will convert wall-leaners and bar-hangers into entities shucking out until they forget themselves. Tun up, let loose; get sweaty and GET::FREE!

This edition of GET::FREE is programmed as part of Talawa Theatre Company’s festival of new Black writing and performance, Talawa Firsts, after a successful collaboration last year. DJ sets from BORN::FREE’s ANXIOUS.SELECTA + FAT-LÏP plus more TBA. Live percussion from T-JAI.

This event will be held on the fourth floor of a concert hall venue and is wheelchair accessible. Find out more about the venue and your visit here.
