Ladies & Gentlemen,
we have got a little Pfingst- (Pentecost-) surprise for you ๐๏ธ:
A Dj and producer from London ๐ฐ๏ธ๐ต โ Khayal aka @k2w0music !
He has already released on renowned labels like @lokdbasel, @monada-project, and @trndmusik. and is known for his love of groovy ๐บ, steady tunes ๐in the 100โ118 BPM range โ always depending on the vibe heโs aiming for.
Khayal sent us an exclusive podcast recorded during sunset ๐
at @sunfishcollective at the beautiful Lake Maggiore ๐๏ธ in Italy on May 23rd, 2025. A fun set with retro vibes ๐ชฉ. Cheerful and uplifting with some yet unreleased tracks ๐ค๐ซถ.

The name K2W0 (pronounced K-Two) is inspired by K2, the mountain in Pakistan. Itโs the second highest peak in the world and a little homage to where I come from. The โW0โ twist gives it a slightly cryptic edge, while still reading as โtwo.โ

Every track I make is like a diary entry. It reflects the people I meet, places Iโve been, and how Iโm feeling in that moment. I want listeners to connect to something real through the music โ whether itโs joy, melancholy, or just getting lost in the groove.

Itโs a bit of a melting pot. Blues and rock legends like BB King and Jimi Hendrix definitely influenced my emotional range early on. On the electronic side, artists like Persian Empire and Stavroz have helped shape how I build atmosphere and groove.

The crowd, 100%. Everyone was tuned in and had such a good energy. But the real standout moment was playing as the sun dipped behind Lago Maggiore. That sunset, the lake, the music โ it all just clicked. Felt like a dream.

Honestly, collaborating with artists I admire and eventually launching my own label nights. I want to create a space thatโs not just about the music, but about community and shared experiences.
[Editorโs note: Would love to join one day!]
