KAVAL | Staff Chart | July 2026

Prolific is an understatement when it comes to Kaval, AKA King of Drums. Since 2018, the Toulouse-based producer has been steady pulling out a string ofm outstanding releases rooted in the sounds of UK funky, Bass, UK Techno & Dancehall. As a producer, he represents a new generation of UK funky producers, carrying the genre’s flame after it faded in popularity during the late 2010s. By merging it with bass and hard drum, he’s taking the sound in new directions, expanding it's definition, and demonstrating its endless potential. Kaval has got plenty going on in Toulouse, where he’s riding the online airwaves with the Egregore Collective and got his name all over the Riddim Supplies series 12”s. Elsewhere, he’s also locked in with the Ruff Club crew who are bringing the DIY free party vibe to Toulouse under railway lines, in abandoned buildings and anywhere they can sneak a genny, a system, some lights and a vibe. In these sets he explores percussive styles and strives to offer "blends". In love with BPM from 90 to 150, the "sound system" spirit is felt through his selection.
