adminCape Town is set to experience an unforgettable day of music as Detroit house legend Moodymann makes his South African debut. The iconic producer and DJ known for his boundary-pushing sound, will headline the 2025 edition of Lighthouse on 22 February at the DHL Stadium concourse in Greenpoint. Announced today on social media, this landmark event is a collaboration between Lighthouse and the Cape Town Electronic Music Festival (CTEMF), promising a unique day-to-night celebration of electronic music in the stadium’s distinctive indoor and outdoor spaces.
Moodymann, the enigmatic alias of Kenny Dixon Jr., has carved out a reputation as one of Detroit’s most innovative house music producers since the late ‘90s. Fusing soul, funk, and jazz into his tracks, his music is a masterclass in blending vintage influences with modern house. With releases on his own KDJ Records and Mahogani Music, as well as notable imprints like Peacefrog and Planet-E, Moodymann’s artistry ranges from sultry grooves to high-energy beats. This Cape Town performance marks a historic moment for local house music fans eager to experience his legendary live presence.
This year’s Lighthouse event represents a bold new chapter. Known for its ethos of blending music and escapism in unique locations, the festival is leaving its beachside roots for the expansive surroundings of Cape Town’s iconic DHL Stadium. Teaming up with CTEMF, a trailblazer in bringing global electronic heavyweights like Richie Hawtin and Four Tet to South Africa, this edition continues the tradition of delivering world-class talent.
