DJ Ferno

Afro House | Melodic | Deep Rhythms

Rooted in the healing energy of music, DJ Ferno curates immersive sonic experiences that transcend the dancefloor. His sets and productions blend deep Afro house, organic textures, and hypnotic grooves—where cultural rhythms meet modern soundscapes.

Based in Austin, TX, Ferno is the visionary behind Baraza Musiq, a movement dedicated to unity through music. With a deep connection to the city's creative pulse and an ear tuned to the global underground, his sound embodies both raw energy and soulful storytelling.

Having toured the world with DJ Jazzy Jeff and shared stages with icons like Black Coffee, Carl Cox, Sparrow & Barbossa, Shimza, Green Velvet, Kenny Dope, Will Smith, Usher, Terry Hunter, A-Trak, Mike Dunn, Virgil Abloh, Just Blaze, Questlove, The Roots, Austin Millz, Ardalan, Gene Farris, and Elderbrook, Ferno continues to shape the landscape of Afro house with intention and authenticity. Whether behind the decks or in the studio, his music is an invitation to connect, move, and elevate.
