DJ K has been played on NTS shows including Topias w/ Gabriel Meier, with Erva Venenosa first played on 19 July 2023.

"Originating in São Paulo, DJ K is one of the breakout stars of Baile do Helipa, the street party that takes place in the city’s biggest favela.

For all the pleasures of raving and booty-shaking, there’s a sense of lawlessness to baile funk, a scene that’s been strictly policed and criminalized, largely along racial lines. Along with Bruxaria Sound, the collective of adventurous DJs and bodacious MCs he enlists as his co-conspirators, DJ K deliberately taps into the paranoid feeling that the party could go wrong and get shut down at any moment, thwarting every expectation with impish glee.

DJ K taught himself to produce with Fruity Loops software, and his bold and cartoonish synth lines often sound like a hyper-charged blend of ringtone rap and acid house."
