Following the immense success in 2016, The RAPTURE warehouse rave is back on Friday 8th September 2017 at the Design Hub, Industrial area in Kampala Uganda where DJ Rachael shall host various DJ acts and percussionists from across East Africa, Europe and the US.
While last year’s inaugural edition was held as a way to celebrate DJ Rachael’s 20 years in the Dj Industry, in 2017 the party returns with the aim of supporting charity through music. This year 10% of all the gate collections will be donated to SETH (Sports Edutainment and Health For Us) Foundation www.seth-foundation.org in Uganda, a local Non-Governmental Organization established to coach, promote and empower the next generation to live healthy, safe and inspiring life through sports.
“We are not just celebrating our achievements as artists on this night, as a DJ I want to also support those underprivileged in our society. Leading a healthy life-style is very vital to each one of us and this is why we believe in the cause led by SETH Foundation,” DJ Rachael says.
Held in a warehouse setting for the 2nd year running, the lineup will see various DJ’s: Kenya’s Monroe Marcus, Cheek –o-Dread, Shock; Uganda’s Hola Jefe, Rachael, SoundEngine, keyboardist Kastimo who is now venturing into DJing and Percussionist Alfonkodee; Spain’s collective Moto Kiatu, Aleczandah from the UK and USA’s Joe Greenbaum.
