Rotterdam’s Mowgli blends the serrated edges of Chicago house, rough 90s techno, sleazy wave and unknown boogie and whatever leftfield curveballs that fit the mood.
His sets pull from the friction between nostalgia and chaos, where synths hum, drum machines spit and tape hiss brings the fuzz. Whether behind the decks at sweaty clubs like Doka, NAR, Radio Radio or Poing, festivals like Wildeburg and Blijdorp, or rooms in Tokyo, Antwerp, Berlin, Madrid and Prague, Mowgli thrives in spaces where weirdness is welcomed. 

His sound is punk in attitude but cinematic in feel. Think deep cuts, dubbed-out B-sides and hypnotic loops that tilt toward euphoric disorientation. One moment you're in a downtown dive bar, the next you're lost in a Balearic haze or being jerked sideways by a mutant boogie oddity, and never do you know what's coming next. 

Mowgli's long-running Anak Kota FM shows on Operator Radio are for unbound expression where musical boundaries dissolve: carefully dug out ambient excursions, leftfield house spirals and weirdo downtempo blends all feature in his unexpected but storytelling sections. 

This lean towards lo-fi comes from a life spent absorbing DIY cultures, old punk flyers, hissing VHS tapes and skate-video scuzz. Beyond the DJ booth, Mowgli is now channeling these inspirations into Exposed 2 Rhythm, a low-key project where he shares all those things and more, with parties, t-shirt designs and new music all a possibility. 

Still rough. Still raw. Still searching for that moment where familiar feelings flow in unfamiliar ways - Mowgli makes any smoke-filled space his own.
