about presenter

DJ/Producer | Radio Presenter | Creative Director & Designer

DAS KAPITAL joined 5FM in April 2016, bringing cutting edge dance music and guest features to the station from artists and labels from around the world.

The proud Capetonian began his career as an international touring artist and DJ from 2010, rapidly establishing himself as a mainstay at events and festivals in Southern Africa and Europe. This evergreen presence in the South African music industry earned him a slot on student radio, internet radio, and eventually South African national radio by way of 5FM.

His extensive skill set has seen him branch out into the multimedia space as a content creator, the Creative Director and lead designer for Mad Dogs Clothing, and curator of The Stock Room – a streetwear market and event experience in collaboration with one of South Africa’s leading sneaker retailers, LEMKUS.

 

I’m a good idea vending machine; a professional dot connector.

I was born and raised in Cape Town.

I have toured South Africa and abroad extensively, but Cape Town will always have my heart as my home base.

English. Afrikaans. French. Working on my German.

In South Africa, I feel like people need to give Bloemfontein a little bit more credit as a great place to have fun. Abroad, I love Londonu2026 and Amsterdam in winter.

Hiking. Collecting sneakers. Cooking and eating great food.

It’s possibly a tie between breaking into my old Primary School on a wild night out with friends… and jumping off a very elevated festival stage into a crowd of people during a particularly good set - and sticking the landing!

Two beautiful dogs - a German Shepherd and a Jack Russell

Sneaker release dates. Chilli oil recipes.

My dad, Miles Davis, Friedrich Nietzsche, Till Lindemann from Rammstein, Salehe Bembury.

AKIRA by Katsuhiro Otomo, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Smiling Friends.

Maximalism mostly, with moments of minimalism. A collection of the things I love.

#Bold. #Dynamic. #Street. #Tonal. #Balanced.

A wood cabin in a dense forest in winter.

Shred on guitar. Watchmaking. Mountain climbing. Winemaking.

Copywriting, or being a rapper.

Teleportation.

I love a long livestream of competitive esports.

Righting social injustice. Animal welfare. Access to education.

Travelling to New York and Japan. Designing and releasing a shoe. Owning a really nice Rolex.

Insincerity. Bigotry. Injustice. Politicians

Genuine connections. The beauty of nature. Sharing passions with others. Good communication.

I’ve been fortunate to grow a community of like-minded people and give back to them, while sharing my passion for a niche sort of music. I consider it a blessing that I’m able to be on air with complete control over the experience, and to see that experience help develop the South African scene and bring international eyes to our platform. When it’s all said and done, what I do is about giving people a special experience and building a platform for others as well as myself, so I’m glad to have found a place where I can do that while authentically using my voice.
