Shaun Duvet, Co-Founder of Ultra South Africa, said: "Electric Music culture originated on the floors and through the beats of nightclubs. We feel these parties are a great way to get them involved in the Ultra family as well as preparing Ultranauts for the pending madness. It also gives local artists a chance to take centre stage and be a part of the global Ultra journey. Most of all, though, Ultra Countdown gives us the opportunity to build the excitement and anticipation for the festival in February 2015."
