\u201cThe Lounge Experiment is inspired by the fusion of live music and the DJ culture. It\u2019s an event that speaks to people who love lounge music in its various forms and also want to experience a unique and vibrant music offering that isn\u2019t quite the norm,\u201d states event co-founder and artist Thato Angela Chuma.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cWhen it comes to lounge and house music, the culture and its followers remain underground. We saw a great opportunity to bring a refined lounge culture experience to the mainstream, and to music lovers who enjoy this vast genre, as well as give attendees a unique social experience,\u201d says Chuma. \u201cTaola\u2019s music, as the first fusion duo in the country, has garnered the attention of international DJs such as London\u2019s Reel People and SABC 3\u2019s Club Culture, which inspired them to introduce a similar vibe in the entertainment scene,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n
