The Crate Radio invites KAHLI
Kahli is a multi-genre selector from Sri Lanka. She is known for fusing a range of electronic sub-genres with samples from R&B, reggae & hip-hop, her sets drop eclectic basslines and bridge unfamiliar cuts. With a dream to deepen the island’s relationship to leftfield genres like electro and bass music, she started her own mixing series Kalahj. The series aims to arouse her audience with sounds that aren’t typically showcased. Inspired by her time behind the decks in Shanghai (CH), Berlin (DE), and Denver (USA), Kahli’s track selection honors her mixed heritage and the time she’s spent on dancefloors around the world. Sound education and taste expansion is a core part of her vision as an artist.
