TS Kahuna

Bio

For over a decade, TS Kahuna has been a constant presence across Copenhagen and Europe's underground — a DJ whose focus on narrative, tension, and intuition has earned him a reputation for sets that feel alive from start to finish. Based in Copenhagen, the Italian selector has played at some trusted Danish institutions including Ved Siden Af and Den Anden Side, Culture Box and Institut for X in Denmark; as well as global venues like The Glove That Fits (London), Radion (Amsterdam), City Club (Augsburg), Tante Emma (Innsbruck), Bunker (Torino), and Paradise Technique (Milan), as well as Japan in Mexico City. As a DJ, Kahuna describes himself as a generalist — curious and open-ended rather than fixed in genre. His selections bridge eras and sensibilities: from stripped-back 4/4 tools and dub-soaked minimalism to warm house, off-kilter bass, and emotional oddities. What ties it together is not a single sound but a feeling — patient, detailed, and quietly unpredictable. Long sets are where he thrives, letting moods evolve naturally through sustain and release rather than formula. Alongside his work behind the decks, Kahuna has been instrumental in shaping Copenhagen’s community-driven nightlife landscape. He is co-founder of Radio Panini, a hybrid community radio and panini bar, and creative director of Jolene Bar itself — one of the city’s most enduring nightlife institutions. He also co-runs Floor Clearance (with Vienna’s Studio Natura), an adventurous club night that has hosted artists such as Yushh, Piezo, and Stones Taro, and collaborates with collectives like La Notte (Turin), Yakamooz (Austria), and Traverse (Amsterdam). His long-running radio project Spazio Aperto — co-hosted with Prince of Whales and aired on Noods Radio, Radio Raheem, Operator, and Threads — continues to highlight emerging voices and left-field ideas. Whether under his own name, as DJ On Call for slower, bass-driven excursions, or through Simil Forma — a four-hands collaboration with Maria exploring the space between body and brain music — TS Kahuna operates with the same guiding principle: curiosity first, ego last, always in service of the room.
