Meet The Judges

Goes by thedigit@lbuddha — a veteran of Trinidad & Tobago's house and techno scene, behind long-running mix series like Hot Box Sessions and Destination Beach House, and founder of the Groove Gathering DJ/producer community.

A Trinidad & Tobago-born, London-based DJ-producer with a passion for underground house — started out on guitar, influenced by 80s rock and alternative, before crossing over into electronic music. Eight-plus years cutting his teeth in T&T's underground scene, now building a reputation in London's dance music circuit for journey-like sets and seamless transitions.

The experience curator and A&R behind SOTU Nights and co-founder of Mixx Tings — credited with coining the term "Caribbean Dance Music" back in 2014, and founder of both CDM Generation and the Turning Point Arts & Music Foundation. Has co-produced Life in Color, Sunset Festival and weTT Republic, and worked A&R connecting producer Mat.Joe with Caribbean artists on releases including "Magic" and "Jah Love" — one of the driving forces behind Trinidad's house and afrobeat party scene for over a decade.

Trinidad-born, Berlin-based DJ-producer known as Kallaloo (Kyle Delzin) — co-founder of Hang Jack and Nomansland on Refuge Worldwide, Berlin's community radio institution, and co-host of the Nomansland Podcast. Blends house and techno with reggae, dancehall, soca and calypso, with sets ranging from Refuge Worldwide broadcasts to a public DJ set at Berlin's Fussballkultursommer — threading Caribbean sound into the city's club scene one set at a time.

A genuinely well-traveled selector — house, techno, breaks, afrobeats, whatever the room calls for — with sets logged from New Fire Festival, Trinidad Carnival and Notting Hill Carnival to FMA Manresa in Spain, Kassablanca in Germany, Afro Sunday in Finland, Attic in the UK, GRB Ibiza and Burning Man. Also hosts radio shows on both Bassyard Radio and Radio Electronica in Germany.

Trinidad-born DJ, producer and promoter working across underground house, techno and UK bass. His debut, "The Remedy," picked up support from Roger Sanchez and Treasure Fingers, followed by releases on CYFI Records and 1980 Recordings and a 2018 set at Barbados' Vujaday Music Festival alongside Green Velvet and Justin Martin. Has also guested on the UK's Subtle Radio. One half of the TiefHead project with fellow judge Channel 13 — together, the pair took the crown at the very first Atherly's After Dark: Random Warfare.

The creative half of TiefHead Radio and Events alongside fellow judge Andy Himself — a Port of Spain selector with, in his own words, "a penchant for the unorthodox," known for genre-hopping sets that swing from global house and techno to "The Jump Off," his dedicated 90s and early-2000s throwback set. A fixture of the scene for well over a decade. He and Andy Himself took the title together at the original Atherly's After Dark: Random Warfare.
