Detroit DJ and producer, Theo Parrish, is one of the artists slated to appear at the 2010 Pan African Space Station, the annual 30 day “music intervention” from September 12 through October 12 in venues around Cape Town, South Africa, on radio as well as online. (The festival coincides with the yearly commemoration of Steve Bantu Biko’s murder in September 1977. The event is organized by our friends @ Chimurenga Magazine.)

Here‘s the full line-up.
