DASH Festival 2: DJ Ca$hy, In Performance

Get your dancing shoes ready and your groove on as we usher in the weekend with our very own DJ Ca$hy as she takes us on a cruise this Friday with her lit set full of bangers from the 90s and 2000s!

DJ Ca$hy's love for music had her fall in love with the decks early in life, because she has always treasured the energy exchange with, and validation that comes from, a happy, dancing crowd. Her first performance was at the Nest's first Strictly Silk event, and she has since built her repertoire of mixes with a focus on music from the 90s and early noughts, Nigerian afrobeats and lingala. She also has a very soft spot for Kenyan old school music, like the kapuka sub-genre, and early tunes from the pioneers of genge.

DJ Ca$hy mixes for the old souls with young feet, deeply nostalgic about the sounds they grew up listening to, and who yearn for memorable club nights as they enjoy the present moment fully. Ca$hy plays for a range of events, including everything on the spectrum between small and intimate gatherings of loved ones, to large crowds of excited revellers.
