Closing set @Linked Open Air ft Juliet Fox

My name is Reza Karkouti and I am just a 50 year old single father of two young beautiful kids who got inspired by the European and Latin underground tech house  and I only dj at home.  

This music saved me during an extremely difficult time in my life and the underground community showered me with so much love and inspiration to not only thrive again in my life but to DJ this underground music to inspire others to fall in love with it like I did.  

All your comments on @SoundCloud means the world to me 😭😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This has nothing to do with me and everything to do with the music and the producers who have dedicated their lives producing these amazing tracks so I can DJ them and share their gift with the world. And I always feel honored when I play these tracks from these producers which most of them are my friends. I am just the messenger and nothing more.

My heart and soul is in international underground tech house aka European & Latin underground tech house.  These tracks have a very distinct percussion & highs signature not found in any other genre.  These tracks are impossible to find with average of 500 hits on youtube and a big hit being around 1.5k hits on youtube.  Only Djs and fans of this underground community know and understand this music.  

This music is not made for clubs with table service and VIP lines,....it's made purely for music lovers.  In this underground community the Djs and producers promote each other more than the fans.   I hope I inspire you to open up your heart and ears to this very rare and beautiful hypnotic music called European & Latin Tech House.  

DJing is not about gigs and glamour shots. 

Music is about connecting with that one soul in the back of the room and inspiring him to be a better human being. ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you for all your support and I love each and every one of you 🫶

Esta música me salvó durante un momento extremadamente difícil de mi vida y la comunidad underground me colmó de tanto amor e inspiración no solo para prosperar de nuevo en mi vida, sino también para pinchar esta música underground para inspirar a otros a enamorarse de ella como yo. .

Ahora dediqué mi vida a ser el mejor DJ posible y a difundir el sonido y el amor por el tech house clandestino queriendo inspirar a otros a amar esta música eufórica como yo ♥️♥️♥️

Todos sus comentarios en @SoundCloud significan mucho para mí 😭😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Esto no tiene nada que ver conmigo y tiene todo que ver con la música y los productores que han dedicado sus vidas a producir estas increíbles pistas para que yo pueda pincharlas y compartir su regalo con el mundo. Y siempre me siento honrado cuando toco estas pistas de estos productores, la mayoría de los cuales son mis amigos. Solo soy el mensajero y nada más.

Mi corazón y mi alma están en el tech house underground internacional, también conocido como tech house underground europeo y latino. Estas pistas tienen una firma de percusión y agudos muy distinta que no se encuentra en ningún otro género. Estas pistas son imposibles de encontrar con un promedio de 500 visitas en youtube y un gran éxito de alrededor de 1,500 visitas en youtube. Solo los Djs y fans de esta comunidad underground conocen y entienden esta música.

Esta música no está hecha para clubes con servicio de mesa y filas VIP,... está hecha puramente para amantes de la música. En esta comunidad underground los Djs y productores se promocionan más unos a otros que a los fans. Espero inspirarte para que abras tu corazón y tu alma a esta música hipnótica muy rara y hermosa llamada European & Latin Tech House.

Ser DJ no se trata de conciertos y tomas de glamour.

La música se trata de conectarse con esa alma en el fondo de la sala e inspirarlo a ser un mejor ser humano. ♥️♥️♥️

Gracias por todo su apoyo y los amo a todos y cada uno de ustedes 🫶
