About Origin

Origin is the reference point for serious electronic music in Johannesburg, a converted industrial space in Braamfontein that programs techno, deep house and experimental electronic music with a commitment to artistry that sets it apart from the commercial club scene of Sandton. The venue has hosted major international DJs from the global underground circuit and is the gathering point for Johannesburg's most musically literate club community. Its warehouse aesthetic and excellent sound system create the conditions for proper dance music events.

History

Origin opened in 2014 in Braamfontein as the neighbourhood was establishing itself as Johannesburg's creative and cultural hub. Its commitment to underground electronic music filled a gap in the city's nightlife offering and attracted a dedicated following from the start.
