Future sound: Dutch Dancehall Icon Kalibwoy

Speaker: Kalibwoy (Artist)

Dutch Dancehall Icon Kalibwoy has been pushing the sound and direction of electronic music for years with his infectious artistic energy and versatile music approach. Deeply rooted in international dancehall culture and with a knack for the latest electronic music sounds, he tirelessly pushes the boundaries within club music. At ADE he releases his magnum opus 11, an refreshing mix of talent and sounds, collaborating with peers like Tribal Kush, Puri and dancehall legend Red Rat, and an accompanying documentary on his artistic and creative process. At ADE Beats Kalibwoy discusses his coming of age as one of Europe’s premier dancehall artists, collaborating and building with artists from the foundational Jamaican music scene, to working with a variety of global electronic music artists from various genres – and shares his view of the powerful intersections between these genres and the latest trends, sounds and opportunities within global club culture.
