About DJ Cake (& Eat It)

Having started to DJ at age 14, and becoming resident at his first club at age 17, DJ Cake entered the industry at the beginning of the DJ culture.

Competing in the SA National DJ Championships Natal Semi-Finals at age 19, against the likes of Martin McHale, Trevor Williams and the like, he built up an energy and level of professionalism that can only be appreciated by attending a busy live-performance.

He also presented lunch-time radio shows on TNT radio with some (now) well-known radio personalities.

Playing on everything from vinyl to time-code vinyl, and CD as well, you can be assured of a top-class mixing demonstration.
