DJ Toby2shoes

Toby2shoes has always had a keen ear for interesting music and has been actively DJ’ing since he was 17.

In 2004, Toby2shoes planted the first Balkan seed during one of his famous Afrobeat sets. The Cape proved fertile and the seed sprouted, soon taking over his set entirely.

Toby’s set of Balkan Beats have left audiences in UK, Italy, Germany and all over Southern Africa screaming for more. South Africa’s ambassador of Balkan Beats, Toby2shoes hails from Cape Town’s legendary Balkanology parties which over two short years gathered a following of thousands.

His choice of tracks consolidates his reputation as a highly skilled, innovative DJ in general, and for this music in particular.

At its simplest, the music is gypsy balkan music fueled with electronic beats (and vodka) – the result being irresistible, compulsive celebratory dance music.

Toby2shoes’ sets can be described as world beats and pieces carefully hand picked over the years.
