A Bulgaria-bred, Philly-based DJ
Kalin indulges in mixing a tasteful blend of proper raw techno and jacking groovy sound.
His sets are heavily influenced by the technical prowess of DJing legends such as Jeff Mills, Ben Sims, and Carl Cox. DJ Kalin Biography 2020
Kalin hails from the small town of Nova Zagora, Bulgaria. His love affair with electronic music started more than two decades ago when he got hooked onto this new sound via a cassette tape with tracks from the likes of Snap!, Technotronic, and Culture Beat. During his early years Kalin was involved with the school radio, and helped organize the first electronic music events in his hometown. Fast forward to 2008 and you'd find Kalin on the other side of the Atlantic in Philadelphia, USA. He got his first bookings at the Vango nightclub, playing alongside Philadelphia's own Adrock, DJ Nico, Christian James, and Deep C of Tigerhook fame. Gigs at other high-profile venues followed including Lounge OneTwoFive and Z Bar. More recently, Kalin has made regular appearances behind the decks at club Mousai, Front Street Café/Liaison Room, Infusion Lounge, The Barbary and others. When Kalin has made the trip back to Bulgaria he’s played events in Sofia, Plovdiv, and his home town of Nova among others. In July 2017 Kalin had the honor of headlining the Koprinka Open Air festival in the picturesque Rose valley. In the fall of 2018 Kalin was invited to become resident of one of Philly’s top underground techno events – Shameless @ The Barbary. DJ Kalin indulges in mixing a tasteful blend of raw house, jackin’ tech-house and peak-time techno. His sets are heavily influenced by the technical prowess of DJing legends such as Jeff Mills, Carl Cox and Danny Tenaglia. Among Kalin' favorite labels you'll find Nervous, Stereo, 8Bit, Intec, Tronic, Unity, Transmit, Planet Rhythm - just to name a few. While playing Kalin always strives to create an energetic atmosphere of quality grooves that relentlessly move the dance floor. RA:

Hello folks, it's been a hot minute, but here's my Spring 2026 techno demo tape. This one is on the more simple tip, nothing fancy - just two decks, a mixer and some tunes that have been doing for me in recent days - raw/hypnotic/tribal/hardgroove, you get the idea.
Enjoy!
