In a statement the organisers said the event was meant to promote talent in the country.“The festival is an event that celebrates and promotes fresh Zimbabwean talents and art. The DJs featuring at the event come from a wide range of influences, including Zimdancehall, RnB, House Music and the golden oldies,” reads the statement.
DJ Stavo, DJ Leon and Nox, DJ Fujee, Judgment Yard, Legendary Sound , Immortal Movement – Gary B and the famous Zimdancehall godfather Templeman are some of the DJs that will be participating at the event.
The second day of the festival will see the clash of dancehall DJs Legendary Sound versus the Immortals (Gary B and Templeman).
“We believe in healthy competition yielding excellence and thus we are currently working on also having radio stations competing against each other through their DJs on rotation.”
ECRAG is a Company promoting local art and also has its footing in Advertising (Printing and Branding) as well as business consultancy.
“We are just ecstatic to bring this creative event to our community and bringing in Zimbabwean DJs from the Diaspora promoting our very own talented DJs, musicians, businesses and arts.

Let’s promote our very own local DJ talent by creating developmental opportunities for them to be competitive on the global market. We want to unite all sectors of society in making this a dream come true.”
