A seasoned producer, he has worked with Spoek Mathambo, Moonchild Sanelly, and Zaki Ibrahim, with releases on African Dope, Sub Pop and more.

NIGHTCRAWLERZ

We are NightCrawlerz. More than just DJs, we’re architects of energy, movement and deep, immersive sound. Through hypnotic underground techno, the pulse of Afro tech, or the raw grit of grime, our sound transcends genres and ignites dance floors.

We create the playground for the creatures of the night, but we’re also here to create a sonic experience that lingers long after the night ends.
