• Khotso Nare: The studio wizard and music producer, Khotso Nare is the architect of Djembe Monks' recorded sound.

A Performer like DJ SK is of a dying breed. For over a decade, the indefatigable performer has established some of the region’s most successful parties, championed a generation of local artists, and invested heavily in the musical culture in his community. Born Jodi Kimball, SK caught the DJ bug early on, thanks to an unlikely scratch tutorial on Sesame Street. Acquiring turntables soon after acquiring a driver’s license, SK was reared in hip-hop at its arguable precipice, lending a hand in shaping SK’s technically exceptional manner of mixing.
