la sape records

La Sape Records is the DJ alias and record label of Australian artist Kurt Paradise, known for his genre-blurring sets that fuse instrumental obscura, acid funk, exotic jazz, and electronic rhythms. With nearly 15 years in the industry, Paradise has played a key role in the resurgence of jazz and club culture crossover in Australia.

Paradise has performed extensively throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia — not just to play shows, but to uncover rare, forgotten, and far-flung sounds that inform his immersive, genre-defying DJ sets. Along the way, he’s shared stages with icons like Carl Craig and Nancy Whang. He also hosts Swing on Low, a bi-monthly show on Skylab Radio, guiding listeners through deep and diverse musical territories.

As a label, La Sape Records champions forward-thinking artists like GODTET, Horatio Luna, and David Versace, building a reputation for cutting-edge jazz, electronic, and instrumental music. Under his touring company, Strange Yonder, Paradise has brought international acts like Kojey Radical, Homeshake, Thee Oh Sees, and Allah Las to Australian stages, leaving an indelible mark on the local music landscape.
