Refuge welcomes Kyle Watson on December 12 for a special daytime session in Brooklyn.

Johannesburg born producer Kyle Watson has become a major name in modern house music through releases on Dirtybird, Higher Ground, Atlantic, Ultra, This Ain’t Bristol, and Gorgon City’s REALM imprint. His productions center on deep basslines, detailed percussion, and vocal hooks that have found their way into clubs and festival sets across the world.

Watson began releasing music in 2007 and built momentum through a consistent run of productions and international touring. In 2017, he earned nominations for Best Producer and Best Male DJ at the Dance Music Awards South Africa, marking an important moment in his career.

The following year, Watson released his debut album Into The Morning, a project that explored a broader side of his sound beyond his club catalog. The release was followed by a U.S. tour that helped introduce his music to an even wider audience.

His touring career has since stretched across North America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Brazil, with appearances at Electric Forest, CRSSD, Shambhala, Dirtybird Campout, and Ultra South Africa. Alongside his solo work, Watson co founded Box of Cats in 2016, a label that has become a respected outlet for house music and emerging producers.

His discography includes releases such as “Major Games,” “My Level,” “Landmine,” and “Safe” with Stace Cadet, alongside remixes for Rudimental, ZHU, and Oliver Heldens.


Join Kyle Watson as he takes over Refuge on December 12 for a daytime session in Brooklyn, bringing sounds from Johannesburg, Brazil, and New York together for one full day of house music.
