K.O.R. is the psychedelic trance project formulated by José Cavaco from Portugal.

José is a devoted music lover since his early teens, he played guitar in several bands covering various musical genres such us rock, metal, nu-metal and post-grunge. During that journey he learned the art of recording music, but his goal was to produce his own original music. A couple of years later he felt the need to follow a different musical direction, and that the time had come to explore new musical genres and production techniques, that was when he discovered psychedelic trance

K.O.R.`s creative process is focused in the creation of warm, groovy, rounded, tight bass lines, surrounded by fine textured layers of percussive elements, psychedelic leads that mutates over time mixed with melodic atmospheres, which are the highlight`s of is vision about the creative process of making electronic dance music, standing out from other genres and featuring a switch from what is currently done in his country scene.

Once you get into a genuine music collective, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. Look at: The Amplidudes. When this likeable messed-up bunch of buddies realized that their social environment was not only pretty much party addicted and able to hold its drinks but also remarkably engaged into producing music, the idea to join forces was obvious.

The first pretty cool thing about this easy-going ass-kicking crew is a rather long list of different project names to drop, here we go: Hyperion, Optokoppler, Slackjoint, Imago, Psytrain, Tulk, Magoon, Bounder, J&B Project, Prahlad, Gameboy, Sensual Squeak, Organflow, Elecdruids, Capital Monkey & Temik.

As not only experts of the genre might have realized now, the Amplidudes pretty much take the line of powerful, boosting and intoxicating Psy Trance tunes while still also some inspiring Sunrise Sound and Progressive producers are included. Basically their musical approach is open towards the ever changing stream of contemporary music, as long as it aims the mind of the listener and creates some surreal and alien stuff going on inside there.

Since everyone who is anyone runs a label nowadays and since the Amplidudes are not only anyone but quite a cunning rat-pack, Amplidudes Records was just a logical step. Expect some solid party music being launched from here that never takes itself too serious because in the end it takes only one thing really serious: 

Massive dance floor escalation!

Schon früh war Stekz kla, dass die elektronische Musik sein Leben begleiten und auch verändern wird! Ob im Club, im Auto oder zu Hause, nie hört man aus seinen Boxen einen anderen Sound! Wer ihn kennt, kann bestätigen das er mit vollem Herzen bei der Sache ist und immer volle 110% bringt!
Anfang 2013 konnte er sich nicht mehr zurückhalten und steht seid dem nun auch hinter dem Mixer, auch wenn es ihm dort tierisch in den Füßen kribbelt ;-)
Warum Goa?
Weil es eine sehr bewegende, mitreißende und Gedanken befreiende Musik ist, bei der man einfach abschalten kann und durch die treibenden Bässe und klangvollen Melodien völlig die Zeit vergisst :]

Viel Spaß beim hören !!
