Proaudio Sound Press Magazine: Hello, and thank you for taking the time to chat with us today. Let's start by talking about the events scene in South Africa.

We began hosting events in Joburg, eventually bringing in Vocalist Justin Chalice, forming the group known as Household Funk. Proaudio Sound Press Magazine: You've hosted successful dance events in Johannesburg. What makes these events unique, and how do you balance DJing and event hosting? Household Funk: Unique locations, big sound systems, mood lighting, creative visuals, and interesting décor create an immersive experience. Balancing event hosting and DJ careers was challenging; eventually, we decided to focus on our musical aspirations.
