Raised on the Sunshine Coast and now based in Melbourne, Kegi’s musical journey began with old-school rock and alternative sounds—from Bob Dylan to Arctic Monkeys—before artists like Jamie xx, Barry Can’t Swim and Jamie Jones drew him deeper into electronic music. 🌊🏙️
After picking up the guitar in his early twenties, Kegi entered the singer-songwriter world and completed contemporary music school, developing the skills to write and produce his own music. As his love for house continued to grow, he shifted his focus to electronic music in 2024 and now has a collection of original tracks in the works. 🎛️🔊
For his session inside SipSops Barbershop, Kegi delivers a synth-heavy journey through deep and tech house—smooth yet high-energy, with deep basslines, hypnotic textures and a fast-paced drive. Patient, powerful and packed with groove, it’s an absolute cracker of a set. 🎧💈
How I Got Into DJing
