PSILO is a selector drawn to groove, atmosphere, and the spaces in between.

Her sets move through stripped-back minimal, dub, and tech-driven rhythms, balancing deep rolling basslines with a sense of bounce and playfulness. She likes to build a progression throughout her sets, allowing the sound to gradually shift and develop rather than staying in one place.

With a focus on texture, rhythm, and subtle changes, PSILO lets each part of the set naturally lead into the next, creating a journey that can move from deep and understated into something more energetic and playful without losing its groove.

At Dub In The City, PSILO joins forces with Grant Louwrens to bring a sound that sits between hypnotic and bouncy, with dubby textures, rolling rhythms alongside the power household of Terry Aronis , BLAQUE MYSTERY (🇿🇦) , SPACEDKACE , 𝕟𝕒𝕕𝕚𝕒 𝕒𝕞𝕓𝕖𝕣 𝕟𝕒𝕓𝕙𝕒𝕟𓂀 + Rhys Mømsen

Emerging from Johannesburg’s underground spaces, SPACEDKACE explores rhythm, atmosphere, and emotion converge. His sound is rooted in the hypnotic pulse of dub techno, deep house, and minimal electronics, unfolding through long-form journeys that favour patience, depth, and intention over instant gratification.

Every set is an invitation into a carefully constructed sonic landscape—where rolling low-end frequencies, textured percussion, spacious delays, and evolving melodies create moments of reflection as much as movement. Drawing from the rich lineage of dub culture and contemporary underground electronic music, SPACEDKACE crafts immersive experiences that encourage dancers to lose themselves within the music rather than simply react to it.

As part of the PlugCity Network collective, he represents a new generation of selectors committed to nurturing South Africa’s underground scene through authenticity, curiosity, and a deep respect for the dancefloor. Whether setting the tone for an evening or guiding listeners into the early hours, SPACEDKACE approaches every performance as a conversation—patiently building tension, creating space, and allowing every record to breathe.

For SPACEDKACE, music is more than entertainment; it is architecture in motion—a living environment where bass becomes language, rhythm becomes connection, and every journey leaves a lasting imprint long after the final track fades.
