@ The Hornbill Rock Pool & \'Pernasus\' …Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th of September
…Gates open 10am Sat. 6th & music ends Sun. 6pm…

The blossoming of a new beginning is upon us all as a celebration of \'unity\', \'love\', and the \'adventure of life\' is the theme for our next hugely anticipated Gathering, which kicks off a whole new season of adventure and festivities\'

\'Fu-Cha\' has secured Hornbill\'s neighbouring property \'Pernasus\',for the Spring Fest. providing more parking space and a secluded camping option on the banks of the Magalies River which is overlooked by a towering cliff face and is surrounded by natures beauty... Nestled in the heart of the \'Magaliesburg\', the picturesque \'Hornbill ravine\' is the home of \'Fu-Cha\' and is ideally set to highlight these gatherings as a \'global\' festival destination\' in Gauteng…

…Come join us as we meander down the river to the \'energy\', \'sights\' and \'sounds\' of \'da Fu-Cha\'…

A Fu-Cha Gathering…a unique festival celebrating the \'spirit of the outdoors\', \'electronic music\', \'decorative art\', \'nature’s beauty\' and the \'culture of it\'s following\' , is what best describes the \'energy\' that encapsulates \'a Fu-Cha Gathering’…

The most talented \'electronic music\' acts and artists from around the country gather to perform away from the hustle and bustle of the city for two days, giving people a \'pleasure filled\' festival atmosphere with their own place of comfort…

Nestled in the heart of the \'Magaliesburg\', the picturesque ‘Hornbill ravine’ is the home of \'Fu-Cha\' and is ideally set to highlight these gatherings as a \'global festival destination\' in Gauteng…

…be a part of the quest for \'Gauteng\'s\' very own \'Dance Valley\'…


Headlining Artists:

..::Headroom (CT) (Live set)::..
(Adam Metcalfe)

With a driven approach towards sculpting a new range of serious \'art-elligent\' music, Headroom is catapulting his way to the realm of the non-forgettables. He has only been producing full time for just over a year, and is set to release his debut album with Nano in 2008.

Beating stereotype and predictability, there is a keen desire to attain a new level of conscious fullon trance highlighting Headroom as a worthy master of his trade and a must-see on this season\'s dance floor. The release of his first single ‘The future begins today\', "Network", Nano Records 2005, amongst others has cemented him a place in the future of psychedelic music.

Having dj\'d for eight years, his accelerated understanding of production is what translates his personal signature sound on today\'s scene. Already Origins (S.A), Earthdance (S.A), Glade (U.K), Tribe \'6 Anos\' (BR), Kaballah \'4 Anos\' (BR), Mother \'S.O.S.\' (JP), Antaris (GER) and Universo Paralello (BR) have caught on to Headroom\'s talents. With previous releases on Nano and various memorable live performances. Be sure not to miss this Psy legend performing @ \'Fu-Cha\'.

..::Killer Robot (CT) ::..
(Ivan (Live) & Bruno Morphet (Dj set))

Killer Robot was founded in July 2006 at Fiction in Cape Town, South Africa. Having already played on the same bill at various gigs around Cape Town, techno stalwart Ivan and Bruno Morphet, an established dj on the underground circuit joined Fiction resident AK47 to kick off a night that would address the gap in the market for techno, electro, minimal and dub techno sounds with upstart club \'Fiction\' providing the ideal stage for the endeavour with its forward thinking music policy and maverick attitude.

Since then Killer Robot has risen to become the premier residency in South Africa for cutting edge electronic music, with a reputation for being the country\'s open channel to the international underground. Names like Butane, Seth Troxler and Bodycode and representatives from Kompakt, Gigolo and M-Nus have all played to packed dancefloors in its intimate surroundings. The Robots, having played alongside Lee Buridge, Steve Bug, Luciano, Guido Schneider, James Zabiela and James Lavelle on their tours of SA, and their pioneering work on electronic stages at previously niche outdoor events, have won over new fans and has made them a \'must have\' feature at \'Fu-Cha Gatherings\'

..::\'Fu-Cha\' Production:::..

If previous Gatherings have left you in awe of the sound, visual and artistic production \'Fu-Cha\' presents, then wait \'til you see what we have installed for the coming \'SPRING FEST\'! Quality sound, mind blowing lighting & an intelligent visual experience with more emphasis being placed on the 2nd stage due to the massive support shown for it at the previous \'Fu-Cha\' Festival of Fan-Ta-Zee\'… Carin Dickson of Artescape will once again amaze us with her artistic décor ability.


..::Fu-Cha Tips::..

- Anyone who has been to a festival of this nature before will tell you that it\'s essential to have your own space of accommodation. A tent shared amongst friends is perfect to have as a base to experience everything this festival has to offer. Your base will allow you to step out of the fun for a rest whenever you like. No need to be traveling back home at some silly hour. (Please see camping details under ticket info.)
- Bring warm jackets and at least one change of clothes to ensure your comfort.
- Swimming gear, towels and sun block are essential.
- A torch is always a handy item if you are camping.
- Fu-Cha has experienced random weather at past gatherings so bring a raincoat and other wet weather accessories as no matter what weather comes, this party never stops!!!
- Be sure to have these numbers incase you get lost on the way to Hornbill: 014 577 1223 or 082 856 3024
- Please note that no bottles or glass will be allowed onto the property of Hornbill or Pernasus whatsoever.
