Recently named as one of GQ Magazine South Africa’s 35 Coolest People Under 35 at the ripe old age of just turned 23, Das Kapital is someone who it’s difficult to miss having built his reputation on musical excellence and his immense skills as both a DJ and producer.

One of the biggest DJ and producers in South Africa he headlines both festivals and club nights across the country bringing a party vibe allied with his excellent technical skills. Das Kapital is known for the brilliance of his DJing and ability to read a crowd to whom he transmits the infectious energy of his performances.

This energy is now transmitted via his segment InDasWeTrust on the biggest national youth radio station 5FM in South Africa every Thursday evening from 8.30pm (as part of DJ Warras’ show).
