Dj / Effector / Mash Up

Mad Love has always loved music and after being inspired by the booming House Music clubbing scene in Durban circa 2000, decided to learn to DJ. In 2004 he left Durban to spend some time in New Zealand and used his first years there to collect and master the art of playing on vinyl. For the 5 years following that he went from playing in his room to playing on the club circuit, most notably starting a successful club night at the once mighty Asta in Auckland city, the night focussed on the Indie Clash Electro scene which was heavily influenced by the French.
During his time in New Zealand, Mad Love was able to share the bill with some huge names in the music world such as MT EDEN, AZZIDO DA BASS, RENE AMESZ, MILES DYSON, DJEDTRONIC, GREG CHURCHILL, TOM NEVILLE and MARK DOYLE (Creator of the Hed Kandi and Fierce Angel brands)
2010 saw Mad Love return to his home town and he has since been involved with some major parties including the Uber Cool electronic stage at Splashy Fen, Fun In The Sun, RAMfest as well as regularly playing at crème de la crème of the Durban clubbing circuit, Origin, both for the club as well as Durban’s premier Bass music brand Uber Cool. Since 2010 Mad Love has shared flyer space with huge acts like MARK KNIGHT, COSMIC GATE & EMMA HEWITT, FIRST STATE, NETSKY, DRUMSOUND & BASSLINE SMITH, SEBASTIAN LEGER, EDU IMBERNON, ANDY DUGUID and PENDULUM as well as most of the local South African DJ royalty, his favourites being Cape Town’s SEDGE WARBLER, PH FAT and SIBOT.
Mad Love has also been involved with SENSATIONS RADIO, Durban’s longest standing internet radio station and runs his own show LOOP RADIO which has featured many of the rising stars of the Durban club scene as well as many of the established acts.
Mad Love’s music style is currently right between Hip Hop and Bass music. He regularly tells a story with his sets by travelling through genres, starting at one and ending at another, these include mainly Trap, Twerk, Dubstep, Glitch Hop, DnB and Dubstep. He isn’t a stranger to other genres though and because of his previous experience he can hold his own playing Electro and House music and can play a set to fill any timeslot or vibe.
