If Parliament-Funkadelic crash-landed into the bass-fueled chaos of the 21st century, their pilot would be K+Lab—the New Zealand-born, Melbourne-based producer, performer, and visual artist who’s been finding new ways to merge electronic hip-hop & FUNK.

 

Armed with a flying keytar and a sound big enough to shake festival stages from Down Under to Denver, he’s a one-man beat machine, fusing live instrumentation, bone-rattling low-end, and a futuristic aesthetic into an experience that keeps you moving from start to finish.

K+Lab has collaborated with some of the best, teaming up with Lyrics Born, Opiuo, Late Night Radio, MELODOWNZ and Stickybuds, while also sharing the stage and touring with Daily Bread, Gramatik, SunSquabi, The Funk Hunters, and more. These collaborations have shaped his unique blend of styles, grounded in hip-hop roots while embracing a bass-driven future.

​

Known for his RAW & ROWDY shows, K+Lab transforms each performance into a high-energy journey, combining live music, custom visuals, and his unmistakable sound. His hand-drawn animation, 3D visuals, and Illustrator-driven designs bring a fresh visual element to his shows, adding a new layer to the music that elevates the entire experience.

​

Bridging the underground scenes of New Zealand, Australia, the U.S., and Canada, K+Lab’s mix of future-funk Hop swagger, and raw electronic power continues to shape his journey as an artist. Whether he’s performing at iconic spots like Red Rocks, Shambhala, Bass Coast, or Electric Forest, one thing is clear: K+Lab isn’t about following trends—he’s just focused on making music that’s true to him and the people who connect with it.
