Mochakk Calling

Fully established as one of Brazil’s hottest exports, MOCHAKK embodies a level of passion and drive that has placed him in the top tier of global talent.

Amsterdam, he is calling. On Friday 23 October, MOCHAKK brings his CALLING show to Gashouder for ADE. Each edition is shaped around community, culture and the connections between music, art, fashion and skate. In Amsterdam, that same concept comes to Gashouder. One room, one night, a carefully assembled line-up built around his vision.

Growing up in Sorocaba, an hour and a half outside São Paulo, MOCHAKK was shaped equally by his parents' record collection of disco, jazz, blues, rock and Brazilian music which was on constant rotation. Nurtured by the skating culture and a restless curiosity that never switched off. That early instinct to connect the dots between wildly different sounds became the foundation of everything he does. Not just as a listener, but as a producer, a selector and a builder: he runs his own club Obliqo in his hometown, holds a residency at DC-10, and releases music that carries the same broad palette he grew up absorbing.

What sets Mochakk apart is not just the range, but the honesty. He wears his heart on his sleeve on stage and off, and that directness translates into sets that feel less like a performance and more like a conversation. His hunger to find new music, follow it to its source and bring it back to the floor has placed him firmly among the top tier of global talent with a personality and vigour to match.
