Based: Johannesburg

South African DJ and Producer Aidin Caye started his career almost 10 years ago at the age of 16 as a resident DJ in clubs and bars on the East Rand of Johannesburg. The fact that he was too young to be at the parties didn’t stop him as he absorbed his surroundings and built up a passion for connecting with people through music. He has since come a long from his small town roots and has gone on to become one of the most respected tastemakers in the country.

Aidin has always positioned himself on the side of music that celebrates artistry more than popularity. Finding his roots early on in groove-driven Tech House, his sound has transformed over the years to find a home at the warm heart of analog infused techno.

2015 saw the release of his debut single on Universal Music South Africa “Reflections”, which was a collaboration with long time Liquideep front man, Ziyon. In 2016, the single received a remix from an up and coming producer from Pretoria; Mark DVB, and went on to receive widespread airplay on South African radio peaking on the local Shazam chart at #50.

For the past 2 years the 25 year old has spent the majority of his time touring with fellow DJ & producer, TiMO ODV, one of the most active live performers in the country. Opening for him at clubs and festivals across the country, the two are trying to push the techno culture and expose the sound to new audiences in the hope of growing the scene on their local shores.
