The duo
Rhythm meets melody, live.
In 2011 DJ Ivano Cafolla teamed up with saxophonist Chris Engel. The result is one of Ireland’s most recognisable acts: an eclectic house set with live saxophone played over the top — high energy, never on autopilot, and shaped to the room in front of them.
They hold residencies at leading Irish venues and The Five Hotel in Dubai, and have taken their sound to stages across Europe and South Africa.
