I’m a former FM radio DJ. DJ NYAAAN started as a personal project with one simple concept — combining cool music with absurd lyrics, where professionals have fun at full throttle. Most of the songs are about cats, but any cat lover will relate! Each track may sound like a joke at first, but it’s crafted with serious style — so sit back, relax, and enjoy the coolness behind the chaos. 

The beginning of this journey goes back about five years, but my approach has always stayed the same: pairing cool, stylish music with lyrics that make you laugh.

I’m asexual, so I’ve never been able to relate to love songs, and trying to write them would only feel dishonest. I grew up without siblings, and spent many hours alone at home without my parents around. But there was always one presence by my side — a cat. To me, the truest form of “family” I ever had was my cat.
That’s why I make songs about them.

So if my music ever makes you smile or laugh, I hope you spend that day giving your cats just a little extra love. If my songs can help deepen the bond between you and your cats even slightly, that would make me truly happy.

Oh, and some people tell me I have a nice singing voice — which is funny, because although I write and compose everything myself, the vocals are actually synthetic. Well… my real voice is pretty good too. It’s just a shame I can’t let you hear it.

The Kiffness makes jazzy, groovy & uplifting house music and are one of South Africa’s favourite live electronic acts. Since the beginning of 2013 they’ve had great success on local radio stations with 6 songs already playlisted nationwide & all songs reaching top 10 status in the top 40 charts. Following the success on radio, their 3rd studio album KIFF (1st album through major label Sony) has been nominated for 2 South African Music Awards (SAMAs) in 2014, and debuted at #3 on the iTunes pop album charts. The 2017 album Soul Safari debuted at #2 on the iTunes pop charts & the music video for popular single from the album "You Say You Love Me" was nominated for "Best Video" in the 2017 SAMAs. 

Dave Scott founded the project in early 2010 when he arrived in Cape Town to pursue a career in music. During his studies at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, Dave played a handful of instruments in multiple bands whilst holding down DJ residencies at two of Grahamstown's most popular nightclubs. Upon arriving in Cape Town he was well seasoned in both the live & electronic music realms and ready to use his experience in both forms of music to form a live electronic project - The Kiffness.

From it’s relatively humble beginnings, Dave managed to make his way from bedroom producer to building his own professional studio & earning a reputation as one of South Africa's leading dance music producers. He has collaborated with some of South Africa’s favourite artists including Shortstraw, Samuel Miller & Mathew Gold. 

Following The Kiffness' success on radio the band has had the opportunity of playing headlining slots at some of South Africa's most reputable festivals such as OppiKoppi, Rocking the Daisies, Splashy Fen & Park Acoustics to name a few. whilst playing a handful of shows abroad. 

Saxophone & synth extraordinaire Raiven Hansmann joined The Kiffness beginning of 2017. Before joining forces with Dave on stage, Raiven had played a major role behind the scenes in co-writing two of The Kiffness’ most successful singles to date – ‘Where Are You Going?’ & ‘Find A Way’. 

The Kiffness' unique ability to effortlessly blend live instrumentation with electronic house beats brings electronic shows to a new level. From jamming out deep, hard hitting bass lines live on analogue synthesizers to playing soaring jazzy trumpet and saxophone melody lines, both Raiven and Dave's instrumental talent is tangible. What's more is that they are great performers, so crowds can expect nothing short of a huge vibe.
