From two culturally opposite sides of the Western Cape comes Father, the collaborative project of Arthur Fisher and Francois Bruwer. Two complete strangers turned best friends, brought together by a passion for music in the student town of Stellenbosch, Father has been rapidly climbing the ranks of the electronic music scene. Progressive house, indie dance, dark disco and techno are Father’s musical mother tongue and the tools with which they’ll keep you moving and grooving through the night. From bars to clubs to festivals, when you spot Father on a lineup, you know you can expect the intimacy and connectedness Father shares with the crowd, as well as each other. Father

Strange Loving…Kostakis, Ronald Rowley & Dakin Auret.

It started out as a kind of no holds barred event brand, satisfying the untamed side of Cape Towns underground nightlife. 
They took us to iconic nightclubs with Soul Clap & Karmon, then yachts with Doctor Dru & German Brigante, even train stations with Marek Hemman & Mat.Joe.

The next move was forming a Producer / DJ crew and quickly signed tracks to labels like Katermukke & Universal Music as well as working with artists like Apple Gule, Embassy (Haezers new project), Popartlive & even Australian rompers Cutsnake.

Their music has been supported, played and featured on podcasts by some of the worlds finer house music artists 
like Mat.Joe, Shiba San, Sirus Hood, Kyle Watson, Golf Clap & Dirty Doering,
as well as major players in the music scene like 
Rudimental, Oliver Heldens, Claptone & even Pete Tong who gave them a ‘5 out of 5 star’ rating.

As a DJ crew the guys feel at home up on stage at all the major festivals like Rocking the Daises, CTEMF, Synergy, Corona Sunsets Festival and even hosting a floor at Ultra Music Festival.
You might also catch them late night in a debaucherous, cavernous techno lair pushing out underground sounds until the sun breaks.

Look out for forthcoming releases on King Street Sounds NYC.

Out of the big smoke of Johannesburg comes a young, creative and passionate DJ. Headphase has developed and refined a sound which he shares throughout South Africa’s club, festival and radio circuit.

Influenced by the UK Garage movement and the world of electronic music, Headphase has developed a unique House / Techno sound which goes against the grain in a surprisingly pleasant way, guaranteed to make you move. Priding himself on underground music and cutting edge sounds, be sure to arrive with an open mind to hear something new and exciting.

2011 saw Headphase explode onto the club scene in Cape Town with his unique style and energetic performance, sharing the stage with many of SA’s choice electronic acts such as Haezer, Sibot, Das Kapital, Pascal & Pearce, Niskerone, GoldFish, Dean Fuel and many more. 2012-2014 expanded this trend as Headphase explored and shared the sound that he endorses on the festival front at festivals such as Rocking The Daisies, Earthdance, Synergy Live, Rezonance and RAMfest, as well as on the airwaves through 5FM, Assembly Radio, MuthaFM and UCT Radio. 2015-2018 has seen Headphase move back to Johannesburg and mature as a DJ, as he continues to take all listeners on an open-minded exploration of his sound.

As a promoter and resident DJ of the Hot On Top crew, you can find Headphase at Joburg's finest rooftop and outdoor venues, hosting and playing alongside top local and international talent including Claptone (DE), Ben Pearce (UK), Till Von Sein (DE), Ardalan (USA), Teenage Mutants (DE), Hoj (USA), Marlon Hoffstadt (DE) and Austrian Apparel (DE). The Hot On Top journey has also taken Headphase to the international stage for the first time, with a successful debut in Mauritius.

Headphase's recent collaborations with MC / vocalist Miki San Tzu has added an exciting live element his performances as a DJ, captivating the crowd on each and every occasion.

Headphase continues to grow and evolve. Look forward to seeing him on a dancefloor near you!

Kyle Worde moves culture, not just crowds.
He’s not chasing relevance — he’s setting the tempo for South Africa’s brand and music landscape.

As the founder and CEO of WOM Agency, Kyle has built more than an agency. He’s engineered a platform where global brands, top-tier artists, and breakthrough cultural moments intersect — then explode. WOM doesn’t market. It architects narrative, sound, and spectacle. And he’s the one pulling the strings.

But the influence isn’t born in the boardroom. It’s cut from the floor — late nights, full clubs, festival dust, and studio smoke. Before the world knew how to spell “curator,” he was A&Ring future classics at Soul Candi Records, shaping the DNA of modern African electronic music. He was never a spectator. Always the selector.

The Rolodex runs deep — Black Coffee, Felix Jaehn, THEMBA, J’Something, Mi Casa, Franky Wah. Not just collabs. Real connections. From main stage to mic, backstage to broadcast. His AFTER HOURS podcast? Apple Music gave it the spotlight for a reason — it doesn’t talk trends, it documents the culture that creates them.

He’s played the rooms that matter in electronic music’s frontline culture: Ultra South Africa. H2O. Spring Fiesta. Space Ibiza SA. If it feels like a headline set, it’s either a global name — or Kyle Worde B2B Roger Goode as Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde.

This isn’t a CEO who “also DJs.” This is a cultural operator who understands energy — in a room, in a campaign, in a continent. He’s flipped primetime on Touch HD, dropped with icons, and built some of the most influential branded events in the country.

He doesn’t need hype. He’s got the history.
And the power? It’s in the pull — not just who he knows, but what he builds.

Kyle doesn’t follow playbooks. He writes new ones.
And the industry is already playing catch-up.

I make music.
