Toronto-based DJ, Producer, and experienced events promoter, DOKO, short for “Discoknockout”, has been creating and performing his unique 80’s and disco refixes since 2012.

His debut to showcase his fresh House music transpired while traveling abroad in Nanjing, China and continued performing in Toronto, as well as at many Festivals such as Promise Cherry Beach Soundsystem, Harvest Festival, Om Reunion Project and others.

With his laid back, dapper-like spirit, DOKO enjoys more ‘roots style’ venues including the outdoors where the vibes are friendlier, and audiences hold an open mind to his multi-flavour style.

With a past rooted in Dub, Reggae and Old-school Dubstep this is no surprise. DOKO is better known as the Toronto Dubstep guru Jawbone who ran the longest running Dubstep weekly from 2006-2014 at the legendary venue Thymeless Bar & Grill on College Street.

After many complaints from my fans for not having access to my previously made disco re-edits I have painstakingly remastered all of the noteworthy songs and uploaded them for free download here. All of them can be downloaded as 320 mp3's and sound great. https://soundcloud.com/dokoedits

Adrien d’Elzius is a traveler of shadows and halos, a silent-walker who transforms emptiness into a path. His art invites listeners to hear what happens between states — where doubt yields to a gentle clarity, where the body-sound and image respond to and illuminate each other. In his universe, contemplative electronic music blends with abstract imagery and AI-enhanced visual writing, giving rise to a transmedia experience that does not merely tell a story but makes it emerge through each medium.

Musically, Adrien d’Elzius favors sounds that speak directly to bodily and emotional listening. His textures are spatial and sensuous: pads that breathe like nighttime landscapes, drones that sustain poetic tension, and discreet melodies that sharpen the sense of time. The rhythmic backbone, precise and technically crafted, is nurtured by his live drumming and a keen sense of groove — a framework that offers clarity without ever sacrificing emotion. This rhythmic dimension forms the skeleton upon which organic textures and electric scratches unfold, guiding the listener along an inner journey that unfolds without a promised endpoint, but with a growing clarity upon repeated listenings.

Visually, Adrien d’Elzius’s work is conceived as a door — a sequence of portals, halos, and organic motifs that reinvent themselves with every release. The sleeves, clips, and digital paintings are not mere illustrations but elements of a shared symbolic language. They accompany the music and render it legible as a complete sensory experience: a dialogue between light and matter, between opening and confinement, between world-dust and inner glow. This transmedia approach, where AI and manual craft coexist, is not mere technical experimentation but an artistic choice asserting that poetry can be produced as much by algorithms as by hands.

The heart of his universe is guided by a simple, ambitious thread: to traverse the inner space without imposing a fixed truth, offering tools for each listener to read their own path in sound and light. The journey is not a straight line but a living itinerary, oscillating between tension and reconciliation, between urgency and breath. In this frame, two poles stand as anchors: the blunt honesty of Bukowski and the mystical depth of Rilke. These voices, far from being imposed motifs, act as sparks that illuminate textures and tonalities: the former invites facing reality unmasked, the latter invites listening to the world with a near-sacred attention. Other voices—Jung, Watts, and McKenna—further nourish this thread, offering angles on the psyche, consciousness, and awakening.

The artist’s lexicon unfolds through recurring motifs: doors that open ajar, halos of light, spirals, and abstract structures. These motifs recur across all facets of his work—music, sleeves, clips, and digital paintings—and serve as a transversal language to articulate his universe. Their recurrence gives the whole a cohesive flow, like a book advancing chapter by chapter while remaining legible on every page.
