Taking the dance floor through different emotions and building a set that takes you on a trip is important to his beliefs in performing. Taking influence from the likes of JOOF, Emok, Phaxe, Morten Granau, Boris Brejcha and Matador, Kay-Cee really enjoys transitioning between playing different genres and in his sets tries to create the journey he strives to achieve with his music.
Being a Doofer since the early 2000’s the outdoor setting is where he thrives. The joy of playing outside amongst nature is his favourite. “The Doof Culture and Vibe is where I most enjoy being, not only as a DJ but as a fellow punter. I really feel at home. Playing at New Dawn this year is a real blessing and I’m super excited to share my love of music with the all the people going.”
