Words from Kid Fonque: 12 hours of House Music in Jozi 🇿🇦❤️ Still recovering from an incredible Saturday with our Spring Fiesta family. As the person who started Stay True Sounds, days like this really hit different. To see what we’ve built over the years, the artists who have become part of this family, and a dancefloor full of people showing love to the music we believe in… it means more than I can put into words. We were blessed with one of the best sound systems we’ve ever had the privilege of using for a Stay True stage, the weather was peak, and every single DJ pulled up armed and ready to show exactly why they were booked. Huge love to all the spinners Blackvillain, Graham Deep, Kvrabo, Hypaphonik, Thabo Tonick, Nutty Nys, Sooks!, Aquatone, Vinny da Vinci, Christos, Kudbeu, Dwson, Jullian Gomes — and to J’Something for that incredible live performance of ‘Bring On The Night’. What a moment! Most importantly, thank you to every single person who came through and danced with us. Stay True Sounds has always been about the music first. South African House Music, the artists making it, and the people who keep showing up to support it. Seeing all of that come together for 12 hours in Jozi was special. Thank you for continuing to believe in what we do. Your love is seen, heard and felt. Stay True. Always. 🖤🇿🇦

Such a beautiful thing ❤️
