Kactus Koraï is the fruit of a two decades friendship and musical collaboration between Pierre BRD (Puppa Elpee, Selecta, Vinylist, Promoter & Graphic Designer) and Kazdi Koba (Kaztet D aka Greg HD, Cosmic Banana DJ, MC & Producer). After many years playing Reggae influenced music together in France with their crew MASSAWA sound, life brought them to South east Asia where they soon became some of
the most active Reggae and bass music DJS in Vietnam and Cambodia. They founded WAT A GWAAN Reggae Collective in Cambodia in 2014, teaming with local crews and performing in countless venues and clubs as well as playing at and organizing some of the wildest festivals in South East Asia such as QUEST and VIBE NATION. Since then they have moved into the tropical side of the musical spectrum with their sets and launched with friends “BANANA HUSTLE” ( 2018) in Vietnam, which soon became the biggest tropical dance music night in the country. Banana Hustle was known for their wide selection of tropical grooves, from the traditional afro-caribbean beats to psychedelic voodoo rythms via the sexy pulses of tropical disco to the darker and deeper electronic tribal sounds. After thousands of hours behind the decks, and more thousands of hours digging music from all around the world along the years, it was time for Pierre BRD and Kazdi Koba to start releasing music of their own colours and sounds from jungles, lagoons, cities and cosmic universe of the musical past, present, future … and KACTUS KORAÏ was born!
