DECANTED

Who we are

By Decanted exists to decant the best of art and music — we’re not just about the next DJ set, but about the full sensory experience around it: sound, taste, craft, and company. We call our flagship Decanted Sounds series — a live event experience where genre-fluid music meets curated drink pairings, designed for people who love sound that moves between boogie, jazz, funk, deep house, neo-soul, and everything in between.

At the centre of it is a deep respect for musical DJs and performing artists — those who play instinctively, tell a story through a set, and elevate a night through skill and taste rather than just a track list. We’re not a nightclub and we’re not a festival. We sit in between — smaller, warmer, more considered. Every detail, from the lineup to the last drink in your glass, is decanted: poured slowly, chosen carefully, meant to be savoured.

OUR VISION

A space built for people who’ve outgrown the ordinary night out

To build Africa’s leading boutique music and lifestyle brand. We’re building toward Decanted Sounds becoming a genuine annual fixture, not a series of one-off nights - with each edition shaped by local sound and culture, but united by the same standard: genre-fluid music, authentic hospitality, and a space built for people who’ve outgrown the ordinary night out.

CURATED MOMENTS

Our Missions

Curating sound, not just booking DJs and artists — blending new talent with legendary names across genres that don’t usually share a stage

To create genre-fluid music experiences and curated lifestyle moments for a matured, discerning audience — guests who want more than a party, and partners who want more than a logo on a banner.

We do this by:

Designing the full experience — pairing music with art and hospitality that feels considered, not incidental

Building connections, not just crowds — creating space for people to connect, discover, and return

Creating opportunity — supporting local talent, vendors, and youth employment in every city we touch down in

Who it's for

Our Guests

Our guests are music lovers who’ve matured past the mainstream - people who want a night that respects their time, their taste, and their glass. They come for the sound and stay for the experience

Our Partners

Our partners are brands who want to reach that same audience - premium, intentional, and hard to reach through conventional channels. A @bydecanted partnership isn’t a sponsorship banner at a festival gate. It’s your brand woven into a curated moment, part of the story we’re telling.

THE EXPERIENCE

Every Decanted Sounds event is built around a concept — never just a lineup. Genre-fluid sets move guests through a journey, paired with curated drinks that shift in step with the music. It’s structured, but it never feels rigid — it feels like being taken care of.

Decanted Sounds Vol. 1

Proven demand on Long Street

Decanted Sounds launched on 11 July 2026 on Long Street, Cape Town — produced entirely solo:

A sold-out presale and 100+ guests on the night
Headline set from Trev The Japanese, supported by Deepthedj, Lawdstat and KayGee
A structured four-tier wine-pairing journey — “First Pour” through “The Finish” — that set Decanted apart from a standard DJ night
Celebrated only Brown and Black winemakers, as part of the intention behind the concept.
Created part-time work for local Cape Town youth, with materials sourced locally to keep the support within the community

Vol. 1 proved the concept and the demand. Vol. 2 scales the venue, the lineup, and the guest experience — while keeping the intentional, premium spirit that made Vol. 1 work.

Cape Town was our beginning, not our ceiling. Follow along, join us at the next Decanted Sounds, or reach out to explore a partnership.
