Blk Jks Collaborates With DJ Tiesto

13/04/10

SA's hottest afro-rockband, BLK JKS will be collaborating with the world's biggest DJ Tiësto, on an exclusive track which will be premiered live at Smirnoff Experience Mash-upStreet in Johannesburg on 15 May.

This unique collaboration between the two musically diverse acts began just a little over a month ago. Following the success of Tiësto's recent genre-bending collaborations with Nelly Furtado, Three 6 Mafia, Calvin Harris, Tegan & Sara as well as remixes of MUSE, Bloc Party and Editors, the outcome of his sessions with BLK JKS will surely break new musical grounds for both acts.

"The chance to collaborate with BLK JKS, the most exciting new band from South Africa, is something I might not have done were it not for Smirnoff asking me to be part of the Smirnoff Experience 'Mash-up Street' in South Africa. The concept of mixing and remixing music genres and cultures is something that continues to inspire me. I'm really excited to share the new track we're making and the live show with the entire world," says DJ Tiesto.
