About KDOLLAHZ

DJ, international playboy, and internet sensation

I’m influenced by soundtrack of yesteryears playboys, mac-daddies, supalovers and other such masters of the universe – not just in my sound but my persona,” says KDOLLAHZ.

In 2019, the DJ-cum-internet-sensation-cum-cultural-figurehead turned up on Angel-Ho’s “Pose”, played a blowout set at Rocking the Daisies and continued to deliver the live sets that have seen him become a consistent feature of South Africa’s music line-ups.

With over 150 shows in 2017, kicking off the Boiler Room & Ballantine’s True Music Cape Town DJ Set, mixing on local and international platforms, including Rinse FM, being nominated by The Plug as one of the most influential people in SA culture (2018), supporting MIA’s South African shows, and serving up beats for the 2018 Jose Cuervo Seize The City.

In this truly inclusive space, that's OTA (Open To All), we encourage a mindset of youthful abandon as we celebrate Pride through queer embodiment and expression. 

A safe space for our queer bodies, for our wild bodies, for our human bodies, for all our bodies. Letting our inner child know that it is safe to come out and play.

About PHIJOS (The Other Radio)

Phijos is the catch-all alias of Philippus Johan, who hails from Cape Town, South Africa. Confident in the comically broad music taste he’s developed through initiatives he’s helped set up over the years (including The Other Radio, The Other Records, SWIM and Search Festival), he mashes up club, bass, italo, jungle, r’nb, breaks and techno into one very energetic cocktail. Don't worry about the ingredients, worry about the garnish: a sleazy and euphoric wedge of queerness to smack your lips on. No holy cows!

He's performed either as Phijos or with The Other DJs at a wide gamut of events and clubs, including SPECTRUM, Modular, Mouth2Mouth Festival, Cape Town Electronic Music Festival, Smalltown Beat, The Death of Glitter and Search Festival. Now we fucking rave!

DISCLAIMER

Remember, It’s our birthright to #OwnYourTruth and the freedom of choice is our greatest gift. Join us on this special night to radically express yourself. We create a community, and we intentionally welcome all. We do this without requiring adherence to any belief or creed. We foster a climate of purposeful inclusion, an environment where all can feel safe, valued, cared for, and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with each other. We cherish the diversity of humanity, a diversity which includes differences in sex, age, race, ethnicity, and national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, financial means, education, and political perspective. These beliefs and practices apply to all of the activities of our congregation; they inform all of our decisions. We will not tolerate any form of discrimination. R.O.A.R. Regret No
