Thabo, a stalwart of Berlin's underground circuit, has steadily ascended to a revered status as a promoter, accomplished DJ, and prolific producer in recent years. A true Berliner, he's synonymous with the soulful yet infectious strains of house that he passionately champions both behind the decks and in the studio. Thabo's roots lie in the sounds of hip hop and dancehall, a facet of his musical upbringing that continues to permeate his productions with a distinct flavor. His voyage into electronic music, circa the early 2000s, saw the German artist plunge headfirst into the city's pulsating dance music milieu. Before long, he was orchestrating his inaugural raves at esteemed Berlin venues like Cookies and Tape Club. After years dedicated to honing his craft and finding his groove, Thabo's DJ career took off, earning him slots at nearly every renowned Berlin club and eventually expanding his reach to international stages. Beyond his prowess behind the turntables, Thabo is a prolific studio wizard. Formerly operating under a different alias, he garnered accolades from heavyweights in the industry, including the likes of Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier, Cinthie, LTJ Bukem, and Jovonn. However, Thabo was always destined for more, driven by the vision of curating his own musical odyssey. In 2016, he unveiled "home again," an embodiment of a decade's worth of promoter experience crystallized into the quintessential house party. Featuring an eclectic roster of over 200 artists such as Gabrielle Kwarteng, Satoshi Tomiie, Leon Vynehall, Apollonia, and Palms Trax, this concept transcended mere party status, evolving into a multifaceted platform. It now encompasses a record label, fashion outlet, festival, and a dynamic creative hub dedicated to the house music community. Thabo's residencies at HÖR and Refuge Worldwide, along with his exclusive mix series on Apple Music, have cemented his role as a torchbearer of the Berlin 'House' sound. With an exciting array of releases on the horizon, Thabo remains steadfast in his mission to keep dance floors pulsating with his uplifting house sounds for years to come, solidifying his position as an indispensable figure within Berlin's electronic music landscape.Their RA profile lists Lobster Theremin, Heisenberg, Curtea Veche, Dansu Discs and 1 more.Recently at Phantom Bar Berlin, MUENZE, Paloma · often with Thalo Santana, Butterhands, Blame Anthony, none of them here that night
