To be continued… that’s where South Africa was left out on their ever-changing lockdowns, alerts, and depriving people of something we all yearn; live music. However, without losing hope, Dylan Munro entered the arena of entertainment acts as regulations would solidify back and forth.
Contributing himself as an already prominent face in the South African music scene, he’s been making things happen throughout tough times. He creates a vibe that would make partygoers look back at their night out and be more than pleased to return to anything his name is attached to.
Resorting to his 7-year experience in the events industry scene that has led bookings at some of South Africa’s biggest festivals, Munro is building his music career on his own terms. Dylan’s primary genre is Afro-House and the subgenres that accompany the latter.
Partygoers make a solid decision to show up and listen to his peppy sets they know he will be crafting; they like it, dance to it, and tantalize them effortlessly to make himself remembered. However, that doesn’t stop there; he constantly introduces a new vibe when selecting the right talent to craft some of his events branded as Hidden Groove ®.
Originality doesn’t only come from within, but by putting together attractive lineups with international acts, and being inclusive at the same time. A smart move to give that ‘someone’ a reason to get a ticket and turn up to listen to someone known. This can translate to financial risk, considering the price that comes with it, but anyhow a smart move.
At the end of it all, it all falls down to Dylan’s passion for music-making and bringing people together beautifully.
You might think that a progressive artist like Dylan is making the most out of a post-pandemic era, but the truth is that he is at a place where he has overseen himself since the past few years; the only difference has been some obstacles which he is overcoming and working hard to not go off-track, in this, his attempt, he keeps getting rewarded with a fast-paced growth, and an absolute must-see act while in Cape Town, it’s either Munro’s playing or orchestrating Hidden Groove’s ® with the premise of hosting events at secret venues across Cape Town!
The work that goes into everything Munro does and still finds time to greet people, making sure they tend to have the absolute best time, is admirable. You don’t see much of this. Talking about an artist where after finishing playing his set, the job does not end there for Munro; he roams around and keeps vibing with the attendees, not much of a job, really. He truly loves doing it. This is his LIFE.
Munro’s intuitiveness and awareness on what kind of show the people are looking for sets him entirely apart; in other words, no matter the vibe you are seeking…whenever you are in Cape Town, Dylan Munro will have a party or set ready for you!
