Das Kapital

Cape Town’s Das Kapital has become one of South Africa’s leading voices in electronic music, building a career that spans DJing, music production, radio broadcasting, creative direction, and artist development. Since launching his career in 2010, he has established himself as an internationally touring artist, performing at major festivals and clubs across Southern Africa, Europe, and beyond while consistently championing cutting edge electronic music.

Known for technically precise, high energy sets that move effortlessly between house, techno, bass music, and underground club sounds, Das Kapital has earned a reputation as both an exceptional performer and an influential tastemaker. Alongside acclaimed original productions and remixes for international labels, he has collaborated with artists including Kahn of The Parlotones, Corderoy, Jack Parow, and Shortstraw, while his releases have appeared on respected labels across Europe and South Africa.

“
My goal is to introduce people to the very best electronic music from around the world while helping South African talent reach a global audience.”

Beyond the stage, Das Kapital is widely recognised as the host of In Das We Trust on 5FM, one of South Africa’s longest running and most respected electronic music radio shows. Since joining the national broadcaster in 2016, he has introduced audiences to emerging artists, exclusive releases, and global dance music trends while helping grow South Africa’s electronic music community. He is also the founder of Do Work Records, a label dedicated to developing local electronic artists and showcasing South African talent on the international stage.

Whether performing at major festivals, curating influential radio broadcasts, producing forward thinking club records, or mentoring the next generation of artists, Das Kapital continues to shape the future of South African electronic music with creativity, technical excellence, and an unwavering passion for the underground.
