L¥O is the visionary project of a mystery DJ / producer who transforms cultural legacies into powerful electronic journeys.

His sound is influenced by world music: Bollywood, Hip Hop, Afrobeat, Latin classics and more, reimagined in an electronic format. The result is a wide sonic universe that moves seamlessly between hypnotic rhythms, cinematic textures and bold club energy.

L¥O’s forthcoming releases feature collaborations with true icons, including the “Black President” Fela Kuti, the legendary Lijadu Sisters, Oscar-winning composer A. R. Rahman and American Hip Hop trailblazers Dead Prez.

Each project is a carefully crafted reimagining of timeless voices for a new generation. L¥O’s remix of 2 Mazza by Drake & Smiley received official support from October’s Very Own (OVO) co-founder Oliver El-Khatib in his 2025 Summer Selection, a clear signal of L¥O’s rising influence on the global stage.

EVERYTHING DIAMOND DEALER:
https://linktr.ee/Djdiamonddealer

With over 15 years of experience as a music producer and DJ, Diamond Dealer is one of South Africa’s leading exponents of the Afro scene. He has his own fresh take on the sound having been there since day one and is now exporting it around the world.

Diamond Dealer started off 2023 on a high, collaborating with Afro house sensation Idd Aziz on a track Pete Tong described as “the brilliant 'Peah'” when championing it on the radio. Peah was further supported by Carl Cox, Shimza and many more who
helped it climb to the top of the Afro house charts.

Diamond Dealer released Shine with Roland Clark and Forever Young with Idd Aziz this summer. Pete Tong selected Shine as one of his biggest tracks for Summer 2023 on BBC Radio 1 Dance and it also received big support in Ibiza this season at venues like Ushuaia and Blue Marlin.

Ending 2023 Diamond Dealer drops his remix of Mire featuring the extraordinary vocals for Kenyan Singer Sofiya Nzau.

If you have a request, please contact me here in PM.

I don't expect you to know me
Or how I lost all my dreams
When I can't even find myself
In the choices I made

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I needed I never could say
Hold on to people, they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away

He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

Shadow Child | Polymod | M.A.S.C | Food Music
mgmt: matthew@oldworld-newworld.com

A true force in electronic music, the Kool FM resident has spent over two decades pushing boundaries across genres, and he’s just signed a major 2025 album deal with London Records.

Known for blending House, Techno, and Jungle influences - balancing underground credibility with broad appeal - Shadow Child has left his mark on both club culture and the mainstream. A former BBC Radio 1 and Rinse FM resident, his impact stretches far beyond the DJ booth. He’s played a key role in major hits, including the UK number one KDA’s ‘Rumble’, while also delivering cutting-edge releases on Shall Not Fade, Hot Creations, E-beamz, R&S, and Unknown to the Unknown.

With heavyweight support from Peggy Gou, Bonobo, Gerd Jansen and Carl Cox, 2025 is shaping up to be huge. His Jungle and Breakbeat-Rave inspired album drops late in the year, and we can’t wait for what’s next.
