Kayper
Few DJs can claim a journey as multifaceted as Kayper’s. A South London native with deep roots in hip hop and turntablism, she grew up in a family of DJs and producers and began mixing records at just 11 years old. Drawing early inspiration from her cousin Nookie, a pioneering figure in jungle and drum & bass, she emerged in the early 2000s as a technically gifted selector.
Over the years, her sound has evolved from intricate scratch routines and soulful edits to a darker, club-oriented palette that weaves together house, UK garage, breaks, and bass-driven techno.
Cutting her teeth on the airwaves, Kayper spent seven years on BBC Asian Network and 1Xtra, championing music that blurred the lines between underground electronic scenes and diasporic rhythm cultures. But it’s in the booth where her instincts are most clearly felt: fluid, intuitive mixing anchored by a deep knowledge of both the classics and the cutting edge. She’s played Fabric, Ministry of Sound, and Coachella with the same precision she brings to a backroom in Brooklyn or a sweaty basement in Berlin.

Her productions, released on labels like Hypercolour and Eton Messy, reflect the same versatility she brings to the booth - deep grooves, dusty textures, and a strong sense of movement. In 2025, she relaunched her label Futurebox under the name FTRBX, originally founded in 2010 during her time as a BBC presenter, with a renewed focus on darker, stripped-back sounds and forward-thinking club music.
Her journey charts a clear progression: from turntablist to tastemaker, and from radio host to label head. Long-running and craft-driven, she remains a consistent presence in underground electronic music.
