On a chilly Wednesday night, Afro-Tech music lovers were served a buffet of blazing Afro-Tech tunes during the GIMC Afro-Tech 4.0 held at the Game City Rooftop.

For most of the revellers, it was just pure satisfaction as selectors put together breathtaking sets to welcome winter in style. The event was headlined by South African popular house duo, Black Motion who returned to Botswana after many years.

Black Motion performed alongside Mpho.Wav, Tefo Foxx, Teaz, Bo Kettle, DJ Lexx, Darque and Benny T. Even though Black Motion was the night's major draw, the other DJs on the line-up were all keen to leave an impact.

The DJs entertained party-goers with superb Afro-Tech sounds creating an intimate atmosphere in the venue. There was definitely good vibes at a lowly packed Game City Rooftop Marquee. Mpho.Wav's stint behind the decks established the tone for the performance and captivated most people. Teaz took over and upped the tempo with a lively set of his own.

He showed his mixing skills much to the appreciation of the crowd. Tefo Foxx was also a marvel. Darque was next after Tefo Foxx and like the rest of them, he did not disappoint.

Assuming the decks just before Black Motion, Darque knew his set had to be on point. He had the crowd hitting the dance floor throughout. With a new member in the band, Black Motion rose to the stage at 1am to a rousing applause and whistles of the crowd. Their set was electrifying as they served fans hit after hit.

It appears the band has not lost its mojo despite their separation with Murda Bongz. Everyone in the crowd was dancing to the music and was clearly having a good time.
