CADENCIA (cadence | cadenza)

keep moving, keep grooving

not just another gig - it is a translation of movement, connection, and a reminder that music still has soul when treated with care and you let it move you!

For our next edition, we bring athe local legend: KATO - a pillar of Sydney’s underground and a true architect of dancefloor energy, KATO embodies everything CADENCIA stands for - movement with meaning, craft with care, and sound steeped in culture.

With a selector’s instinct sharpened over the past two decades, KATO blends classic dancefloor foundations with eclectic sounds, weaving house, hip hop, global rhythms, disco, funk, and techno into something that feels both familiar and forward at once.

As one half of electronic duo Wordlife, he’s carved a reputation for fearless experimentation and forward-thinking production. Beyond the studio, his long-running FBi Radio residency keeps him tuned into the pulse of new sounds from across Australia and the globe - always digging, always discovering, always pushing the scene.

For CADENCIA, KATO brings the full spectrum: deep knowledge, fearless selection, and that unmistakable Sydney underground spirit.

A true local tastemaker, ready to move the room in only the way he can.
