To celebrate its first, successful year on DStv Compact and a milestone three million MTV Base subscribers on DStv Compact and DStv Premium, MTV Base (DStv 322) and DStv are taking over Hush in Johannesburg for an anniversary party on Friday, 10 June. Brand:New vs Spanking New is taking its name from two of MTV Base’s hottest music programmes, Brand:New and Spanking New.
Brand:New vs Spanking New will see the battle of the music genres as Hip Hop takes on House music in the ultimate face-off, featuring some of South Africa’s most fantastic hip hop veterans going head to head with the brightest star in the country’s House music scene.
Leading the Hip Hop heroes into the fray will be Tumi & the Volume, fresh from their European tour, and whose video Asinamali has been featuring prominently on the MTV playlist and on MTV Base’s Spanking New, MTV Base’s new music show that premieres a new music video every day of the week at 16.00 CAT. Sets from DJs Kenzhero, Vigilante and Switch will keep Hip Hop lovers asking for more.
House fans will see dance star-on-the-rise Zakes Bantwini – the uber-talented vocalist and dancer behind club bangers “Shake your Bum Bum’ and “Clap Your Hands’. Bantwini has recently been highlighted as MTV Base’s Brand: New artist for April 2011, as an indication that MTV Base thinks he is headed for the big time. House DJs Lulo Cafe, Franky and Sphectacular will also be on hand to keep the Hush dancefloor packed “til dawn.
To celebrate the occasion, DStv will be giving away PVR decoders that can be used by DStv Compact subscribers to record, rewind, pause live TV and fast-forward recorded programmes. To win a chance of a free ticket to the party, send an SMS with the following text “BN + Name & City’ to 33393.
