Floyd Lavine

An African nomad, Floyd Lavine mines inspiration wherever he goes. From the vibrant musical scene of his homeland, drawing influence from local South African Djs like Oskido, Vinny Da Vinci , to the heady East London party scene during a six-year stint in the UK capital.

Moving to Berlin in 2016, he soaked up the vibes of the cityʼs world-leading house and techno scene, but always went his own way establishing RISE, an Afro House collective that staged monthly events at Watergate and across Europe.

Floydʼs sound is the sum of his parts; cross-genre, with broad appeal; heʼs played everywhere from CTM Festival, Panorama Bar and Black Coffeeʼs Ibiza residency.

Production highlights from 2020 included a remix for Coldcut & Tony Allen (the late great drummer from Fela Kutti) and a re-work of Kerri Chandlerʼs ‘Think of Somethingʼ, no less. In 2019 he received a DJ Awards nomination in the ‘Afro Houseʼ category.

In 2021 sees Floyd launch his new imprint Afrikan Tales focusing on pushing fresh new Afro future sounds
