Tiesto And South Africa's BLK JKS' Exclusive Smirnoff Download
The exclusive track and the ‘Mashup Street’ event have both been produced to celebrate the fusion between South Africa’s music and street cultures.
'Dreaming' is only available on Facebook.com/smirnoff. The track will be premiered live to a worldwide audience via an online live stream from the ‘Mashup Street’ event on May 15 in Johannesburg, allowing people from all over the world to participate.
Tiësto who is set to visit London on July 20 as part of his Kaleidoscope tour said:
"Over the past year, I’ve done several collaborations with artists from a variety of genres, but have never worked with an artist from South Africa. I was excited by the opportunity to work with an act like BLK JKS, who are influenced by their South African roots, but also have some dance music sensibility."
BLK JKS who recently won a South African Music Awards (SAMA) for ‘Best Alternative Album.added:
"Some people don’t realise it, but we are big fans of dance music. We’re honoured to be selected by Tiësto and Smirnoff to take part in this collaboration. We’ve created a straight up dance track, which is not what we would normally produce on our own. I think Dreaming will surprise our own fans, and hopefully open us up to new ones."
