DJ/Producer (Southern Fried/Madtech/Four40/Klub Kids)

Hertfordshire’s Kashii aka Gary West has been on the rise since stepping onto the scene in 2010 via material on Fatboy Slims Southern Fried Records and Kerri Chandler’s Madtech, the latter being a label which he now heads up the A&R department for. Kashii has continued with both imprints releasing a string of material via the labels over the past few years, amongst others such as Four40 and Klub Kids, picking up support along the way from the BBC Radio elite - Annie Mac, Pete Tong, Annie Nightingale and B Traits, plus further support from DJ’s such as Disclosure, Bondax and Copyright.

Kashii’s formative production years during a four-year stint living in Brighton helped to sculpt his palette of sound, initially starting in Garage and 2-step before progressively gravitating towards a more house focused sound of late. Now, as things have progressed musically his productions have taken him across the globe to play in France, Australia and Thailand, as well as some of the UK’s leading festivals such as Glastonbury, Bestival, Secret Garden Party and even Croatia’s ever growingly popular Outlook festival.

With such an impressive coterie of accolade names on board for Kashii productions we can no doubt expect to hear more from this rising talent in times to come.

Hi, I'm a producer, DJ from Europe.


27 yo DJ and producer since 2022 from Czech Republic. 

I like electro music from my childhood. 
My sister Andrea was listening The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers and other electro music in millennium, so I think she is a big apart of that all.
I really loved this dancing vibes, this regular magic rhytm. You listen some PC sounds, but although it doesn't exists, it makes You feel some feelings and imagination. It's abstract art.
 
I started with mixing in Virtual Dj when I was 18 years old, it was when year 2017 started. 
I remember these times, when I was really excited makin' mixes with computer mouse and 4 deck in Virtual Dj, haha. 
During time in this year, my friend Daryl borrowed me basic Hercules Dj console and I had finally first hardware for mixing to use and I started with recording my first mixes. 
In same time I downloaded demo version FL studio 9 and when I opened this program, my first though was: WTF, is that aircraft dashboard??? Okay, where to start?
During time, I was making mixes on Hercules console with my friend Daryl and in the end of year 2018 I bought my first control Silvercrest console from my friend Radek. I was happy, that I had my first hardware for mixing and I spent lot of time with that. It was lot of training and trying what to do with that. In this season with my friend Daryl we we're playing in The ,,Machine club'' in Mohelnice few times and in our friend's Jindra's wood cabin or somewhere out at nice places with laptop, console and speaker just for fun. Nice days.
I was workin' in England and in year 2021 I bought my first control, Traktor S2 Mk3 from one guy. I was really happy.
In year 2022 we started mix with my friend Daryl in ,,Klub ve zdi'' in Zábřeh with help of our friend Dave 87. 
Till this time, I was trying to make some basic beats in FL Studio and one day in November I decided, that I want make my first track. 
First December 2022 I upload my first tune called ,,Horizon''.

At the beginning of 2023, I went to work to Holland, where I bought a ReMOTE Compact sampler for 10€ from a bazaar in Sneek and it still helps me in my work. By time I also got a drumpad from Akai and I use the keys, which I use for "covers'' too.

Today I'm still producing tracks and uploading to SoundCloud and to Youtube. 
The more I know, the less I know, but I love this progress and it makes me happy more and more. 
I still do mix too and I share my mixes to Mixcloud and mixes with video to YouTube. This hobby is really big apart of my life and I want keep goin' in this way. 
I'm into bass, deep and dark styles, DNB, Dubstep, Deep House, etc. but I love exploring new stuff and new genres and trying still for something new, in mixing and in production too. I don't have abroads in that. My plan right now is to buy vinyls with mix and to start mixing traditionally from LP's.

I am glad for every feedback or for every support 🤙 
So enjoy and have a fine listening 🎧
