= DALA {NANO RECORDS}
DALA originates from the multi-manic Cape Town party scene; where he honed his unanimously appreciated world class techniques for blending the finest selection of psychedelic beats meticulously sort out from all around the globe.
With an eclectic taste of vibing music, his main passion focuses on the groove based daytime funkedelics with bouncy baselines, tantalizing rhythms, funky leads & high-flying atmospheres. His ability to pick up from any vibe & draw people into magical journeys on the fly makes him one performer you definitely need to experience!!!!!
Born & raised into the music & events industry, it was not long before DALA got his hands on the sound control knobs – from fooling around with pitch controlled tape recorders to professionally mixing live bands –he was hooked!
As technology developed he refined his skills on the latest in DJ gear, experimenting to find what works best for his ever evolving style.
Many years on & DALA has built a solid reputation within the international Psy-Familia, sharing his infectious positive vibes at a wide range of gatherings. From private events & clubs to open-air festivals, such as: Universo Parallelo (Brazil), Sunshine Festival (Japan), Monte Mapu (Chile), Elixir (UK), Moonflower (Argentina), Amazonas Andes (Bolivia), Origin (South Africa), Earthdance (Cape Town/Sao Paulo), Rezonance NYE (South Africa), Alien Safari (Cape Town), Vortex (South Africa), Groovy Troopers (Cape Town), Black Pearl (Wales), Cosmogenesis (FreeState), ONE Festival (Mpumalanga), Tswaing Crater (Pretoria), Fu-Cha Gatherings (Joburg), Gwaing (George), Wacky Woods (Jeffreys Bay), Aloe Roots (Mossel Bay), Psynopticz (Cape Town), Boomerang NYE (South Africa), Altered States (Cape Town), Organik & many many more.
With such an infinite passion for sharing awesomely inspiring music with such beautiful peoples, there is no stopping this fiery spirit! Now setting sights across borders, DALA is taking it to the world to explore; experience & share the goodness with others.
