Gallagher

Gallagher is a Cape Town-based selector whose sets are defined by depth, groove, and an unwavering love for house music culture. While house forms the foundation of his sound, his sets span a broader palette, from the raw soul and classic grooves of Chicago and Detroit house, to leftfield rhythms and heavier late-night explorations. Each performance reflects his curiosity and connection with the dance floor.

He formerly hosted a long-running club night at The Waiting Room, holding a four-year residency with The Secret Society, where he helped define the night’s signature sound, rooted in house, infused with disco, and instrumental in shaping his understanding of the Cape Town scene. He now co-curates Four Four, Goshica, and Exercise, projects spotlighting local talent and exploring house and late-night sounds across South Africa.

“Driven by curiosity, connection, and a deep respect for the culture surrounding house music, Gallagher continues to craft sets that resonate with both dancers and music lovers alike.”

Gallagher has performed at iconic venues and festivals including Modular, One Park, Torte Bar, All My Friends, Evol, ColorBox Studios, Apollo Warehouse, The Ally, Wonderland, Reset, and The Waiting Room, as well as on lineups for Xylem, Just Between Us, Killer Robot, Hungry4, CTEMF, Pangea, Future Frequency, Bazique Festival, and Wolfkop Weekender. He has shared stages with artists such as Stojche, Zisko, Marcus Worgull, Axel Bowman, and Ralph Lawson.
