Kalo Canterbury

Kalo a.k.a K-$ is a DJ and internet sensation hailing from Cape Town's Southern Suburbs. Having developed a keen appreciation for music when they were nothing but a little mischief maker, they were moved to teach themselves to play various instruments, expanding on their
understanding of the art form.
Kalo is naturally drawn to the rhythms emerging from RnB, funk, disco & soul's golden years.

The soundtrack of yesteryear's playboys, mac daddies & supaluvas has influenced not just their
sound, but persona and aesthetic too.
Raw talent and a well-trained ear inform a style that seamlessly blends this heritage with more
contemporary favourites, a phenomenon K-$ says, comes down to the fact that the music they
grew up on laid a strong foundation, upon which present-day sound is built. This is evident in
each of their sets across the city at well-established clubs and events, festivals like Cape Town
Electronic Music Festival (CTEMF) and MUSE All Weekend Music Festival, as well as in their
mixes for the internationally acclaimed Rinse FM and local magazines Bubblegum Club and
Between 10and5.
