Kyle Watson & Guests

South African producer and DJ Kyle Watson brings his deep rooted house sound to Refuge for a special daytime indoor winter session in Brooklyn.

Known for releases on Dirtybird, Higher Ground, Ultra, Atlantic, and REALM, Watson has spent more than a decade building a reputation as one of house music’s most reliable names. His catalog moves from stripped back late night rollers to bass heavy club records, earning support from artists across the scene while landing him on festival stages including Electric Forest, CRSSD, Shambhala, Ultra South Africa, and Dirtybird Campout.

Growing up in Johannesburg, Watson developed his musical background through piano before turning toward production and DJing. He began his career in 2007 with his first release and was later nominated for Best Producer and Best Male DJ at the 2017 Dance Music Awards South Africa. In 2018, he released his debut album Into The Morning, a project that showcased a wider range of sounds and helped introduce his music to a larger international audience.

Since then, he has launched Box of Cats alongside Wongo and become known for records like “My Level,” “Major Games,” “Landmine,” and “The Ratchet Express.”

Joining Kyle Watson is Brazilian producer Cour T., who has earned support from Adam Ten, WhoMadeWho, Damian Lazarus, Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, The Martinez Brothers, Claptone, and Claude VonStroke. His career has brought him to Warung Beach Club, Surreal Park, Sound LA, Dirtybird Campout, Xxxperience, Movement Detroit, and ADE Amsterdam, establishing him as one of Brazil’s rising names in underground house music.

New York based artist Will Sass also joins the lineup after generating millions of streams within the first six months of his recording career. Already working with notable electronic artists from London to Los Angeles, Sass heads into 2026 as one of the city’s emerging artists to watch, backed by a packed release calendar and active touring schedule.

Now, the South African icon Kyle Watson heads to Brooklyn, with a special lineup of talent for an epic Sunday show at Refuge.
