SA’s hottest indie band, BLK JKS, who were recently nominate for two South African Music Awards, will be collaborating with internationally acclaimed  DJ, Tiësto, on an exclusive track which will be premiered live at Smirnoff Experience™ Mashup Street in Johannesburg on 15 May.

This unique collaboration between the two musically diverse acts began just a little over a month ago. Through a process of back and forth musical swaps, headliner Tiësto and BLK JKS have been busy working away on an exclusive track, as part of the Smirnoff Experience™ Mashup Street. The track will be available to Smirnoff fans in April. 

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.

Says Tiësto; “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 not for Smirnoff asking me to be part of the Smirnoff Experience™ ‘Mashup 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.”
