Kat La Kat is a deep house DJ, producer and sound engineer from South Africa that has earned somewhat legendary status over the past few years, largely thanks to his ‘Deep Vibes’ mix series. We met him after his set at the Beat Hotel Marrakech to discuss his journey as an artist, which you can read about
