Mochakk and Barry Can’t Swim Carry Official Game Ball at World Cup
In a unique crossover between the worlds of electronic music and international sport, Mochakk and Barry Can’t Swim were selected to carry the official game ball onto the pitch for the Brazil vs Scotland World Cup showdown on Wednesday, 24th June. The high-profile appearance in Miami highlighted the growing cultural influence of these artists, representing their respective nations during the heated match, which concluded with a 3-0 victory for Brazil.
Following the match, the duo continued the celebrations by performing a collaborative B2B set at the renowned Miami nightclub, Club Space. Fans captured the moment the artists took to the field, marking a memorable intersection of football culture and dance music.
Mochakk, who recently secured the No. 51 spot in the Top 100 DJs poll 2025, has been riding a wave of success. Last month, he released a high-energy remix of Nina Simone’s 1964 classic, ‘See-Line Woman’. His recent projects also include the first anniversary celebration of his OBLIQO club, which saw him take over Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles for an expansive, all-Brazilian festival line-up.
Meanwhile, Barry Can’t Swim continues to build on the critical acclaim of his latest album, ‘Loner’, released via Ninja Tune. The record serves as a follow-up to his 2023 debut LP, ‘When Will We Land?’, a project that earned nominations for the Mercury Music Prize, Scottish Album Of The Year, and a BRIT award.
