Artist Info:
KaySoul is a House DJ/record producer from Johannesburg, South Africa. He began making music in the year 2010 till present. He draws inspiration from Larry Heard aka Mr. Fingers and also he is inspired by everything around him. Hailing from Kwa-Thema, Springs in the East Rand of Johannesburg. Growing up with the sounds of house, bubble gum and kwaito on the radio at home and in the neighborhood, he quickly got into taping songs and making compilations of music that really moved him - just so he could listen again. Not bad for a kid who was still in his 5th grade of primary school. As a youngster, he was always one for moving to his own beat: banging anything he could find to create his own rhythms. In 2010, he was introduced to FL Studio 8 by a friend who showed him around using the programme and as they say, the rest is history. In 2018, he won best "Male" and "Remixer" categories at the 2018 Dance Music South Africa. KaySoul released an EP in  2019 "The Prosimians" on Tooman Records from Germany. This EP received support from 5 Magazine, International DJ Mag, 5FM, Vuzu TV Hit Refresh. His music has been supported by the likes of Vinny Da Vinci, Rocco, Ralf Gum, Kid Fonque, Kai Alce, Ame, Fred Everything, Laurient Garnier, Mr. Scruff, Jazzanova, Robert Owens, Jullian Gomes, Kevin Yost, Josh Wink, Atjazz, Glenn Underground, Felipe Gordon, Richie Hawtin, Lay-Far, Sean McCabe, Milton Jackson, Hugo LX, Crackazat. In February 2022, he released an EP "Frequency Rays of One Cosmic" on Dirt Crew Recordings which got a support from DJ Mag and Mixmag and he did an interview with GQ South Africa about his music. In March 2022, he released another EP (vinyl/digital) "What Is Blackness" which came out on Shall Not Fade and it garnered support from Resident Advisor. In April 2022, he released an EP "The World's Going Crazy" on Apparel Music. He did radio mixes for World Wide FM, NTS Radio, Jazz FM, Radio Reprezent, YFM, 5FM, 947 FM, Gagasi FM and a mix for Traxsource Live.

Recorded at private loft in Chicago, IL - April 5, 2025

Night Swim brings back the dimly lit lounge where you can sway to jazz house, soul, funk and lounge sounds with the loved ones in your life (or the new ones you meet). These sets started off as a way for us to share the deeper sounds we love and have listened to for decades at this point, but still have a strong relevance in today's music scene.

You’ll hear artists like berlioz, St. Germain, dublon, HNNY, Bolden., and ELWD. Each set we post under "Night Swim" will give you a taste of the memories we're pulling from and the experiences we hope to create. If have the opportunity to join us at a Night Swim, you’ll experience many of these gems in the atmosphere they were made for.

More NIGHT SWIM & FORMATION RADIO is on the way! Keep your eyes on our channel, where we will release new sets from us and our favorite selectors.

6 years later, Night Works returns. Sticking to it's roots of late night, back room grooving. In this 75 minute selection, Mode 7 (aka The Classic Mix CD Series founder Gareth) reminisces of dark, dubby, back room atmospheres. Where all the heads are. A wave takes over you, a feeling of looking down to the floor. Then lifting back up, full of energy, life, surrounded by like minded souls. Hands in the air and one of the best nights of your life. These tracks try to tell that story. Hope you enjoy it. G

-------------------

Balkanimal - focus on live pa performances where I try to recreate different mixes of my own original house, deep house, tech house, techno, minimal, ambient, jungle... well, you get the  idea :)
IF IT MOVES, THEN IT GROOVES!


I try to not restrict myself in the world of electronic music composition and creation by staying within the confines of sub-genres, expectations, lingering in the (boring) safe zone, the beaten path which in my view is a waste of time. 
I try to push the envelope and reinvent. 
I also like meeting, collaborating and otherwise hanging out with people who share this view, not just music and art, but science, education, life and social acceptance, where we truly are equal cause we truly feel that way. 

Trend followers are not worth my time, neither am I worth theirs.. 
but if you want to reinvent, and have fun in life doing it by exploring options and adjusting instilled expectations in electronic music creation... then by all means - we're already friends!
