ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 3- KAIRO ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF DARKHOUSE

I waited a while to feature this artist because i had to find the right way to put so much amazing information down in a way that would make sense to everyone LOL. I honesty LOVE his work and have a lot of his old work on constant repeat. 

For those that may not know him I would like to introduce you to the dual named Artist AND Producer Kairo/Darkhouse!!!

In 2010 he began DJ'ing under the name Darkhouse. During that time he stimulated the audience with his unique Hardstyle flavors that kept the crowd on the floor. In 2013, he changed his name to Kairo and began dabbling in the art of good old Techno and House giving everyone great memories of the beginnings of rave music. Very versatile in his craft, he missed Hardstyle and its hard banging beats and currently dedicates his time to producing and mixing some amazing Hardstlye tracks.

When asked what inspired him to get into music he had a huge list of artists.

K/D- I am inspired by artists Radial Redemption, Wasted Minds, Neophyte, Evil Activities, Promo, Warface, Delete, Malice, and Thera. 

Why do you love DJ'ing?
K/D- I DJ because I love hard dance music and I want to share it with people young and old every single chance I get.

What is your goal as a DJ that you hope to accomplish?
K/D- My ultimate goal would be to release with Night Breed, Theracords, and Gearbox one day.

INTERNATIONAL BABY!!!! Let the whole world hear you!!

Where would you love to play if you could?
K/D- I would love to play on stage at Defqon, Dominator, Loudness and Intents.

He ended with this statement.....

I want to be on of the few Americans to represent the harder styles in a community mostly dominated by Europeans.

With a goal like that you can do nothing but respect this guys' mindset. 

Kairo/Darkhouse began his project Purge and Purify. It is 3 mixes over the span of 3 weeks. On the final week he will release his last mix, a track all his own AND samples for fellow producers. You can find the project here:

Purge and Purify is available for free download!!! 

Keep an eye out for him cause his dedication and skill as a DJ and Producer is off the chain. His passion truly shows and his no filter attitude is so refreshing. Humble and brutally honest about what he wants, Kai gives you something new every single time he drops a mix, entertains a crowd, and when he drops a track. 

You can find some of his original Progressive House tracks on Beatport as Kairo. Show your love and support to him! I LOVE "Got Dat" and "Temple"!

This was an amazing and fun interview. Lot's of laughter and jokes but I am so happy that I was able to end this first batch or Artist Spotlights with such and amazingly talented DJ and Producer. I wish him the best of luck and look forward to seeing him on stage again and hopefully interviewing him again in the near future. Now it's time for me to blast some of his music and get ready for next month's Artists Spotlights. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity. Keep up the great work!!!!
