Welcome to the world of TULPA. Inspired by the power of collective consciousness, our vehicle is a physical embodiment of our shared dreams and purpose. TULPA is a term derived from Tibetan Buddhism, representing the ability of the collective to bring mental creations to life. As you step aboard our mutant vehicle, you'll become a part of our collective consciousness, experiencing a journey of transformation, self-expression, and community. Join us on a ride to unleash your creativity and unleash the power of collective dreams as we journey from burn to burn.

Born in South Africa, based in the Netherlands, and shaped by the years lived in the U.S. and Spain, Kartwheel has truly cartwheeled around the world - collecting stories, sounds, and a deep appreciation for the power of music along the way.

Though she's a relatively new face behind the decks, Kartwheel is no newcomer to the music scene. While she initially regretted not learning to play an instrument growing up, her love for the industry led her to create @thekarismatik - a vibrant and multifaceted platform encompassing a music podcast series, bookings agency, event organization, and an upcoming record label - all rooted in a passion for music’s ability to connect people across backgrounds and borders.

Her journey into DJing began at after-parties, where curiosity and instinct guided her early experimentation. In 2023, she committed fully to the craft, learning to mix with intention and skill. Her dedication paid off when she played her first gig in December 2023. Since then, she has performed at various events, often within her creative community.

Kartwheel’s sound is soulful and groove-driven, blending melodic house and techno with funky and bluesy elements. Her sets carry a hint of nostalgia, moving fluidly from ethereal and organic to deep and dirty - always with a progressive, infectious energy. 

Whether she’s warming up a room or igniting the dance floor, Kartwheel brings joy, depth, and a touch of mystery to every performance.

For Kartwheel, music is more than entertainment - it’s an anchor for union, peace, and celebration. And she’s just getting started.
