Kiko , The hacker - Pure energy

Nina Kraviz launches her трип (pronounced ‘trip’) label with a double-EP compilation entitled ’The Deviant Octopus’, featuring a pair of brand new productions from Kraviz alongside material from Terrence Dixon, emerging talent Parrish Smith & Bjarki, and veteran producers Exos & Steve Stoll.

The idea for трип has been gestating for some time with Nina Kraviz, an avid crate-digger and frequenter of numerous second-hand record stores, who has long wanted to begin a label of her own which would build on some of the principles of her beloved 90s techno labels in terms of attitude and aesthetics, whilst looking for forward-thinking modern productions that reflect her core tastes for idiosyncratic electronic music.

The art and title of 'The Deviant Octopus' comes from a single-sentence scenario dreamt up by Kraviz: “Without a moment's notice an Octopus appeared and devoured everyone in sight”. Supplied with this scenario, artist Tombo rendered his own unique visualization for the artwork that adorns the release sleeve. It's Kraviz's own nod to the labels that inspire her and grab her attention while digging through second hand records, the best of which were imbued with the unique personality of the people behind them. This extends to the sound Kraviz intends for трип: dusky, divergent and trippy music to stimulate brains, dreams and fantasies.

In this respect ‘The Deviant Octopus’ is a perfect introduction: Kraviz herself is represented on the tracklist by two new tracks that take up the mantle of last year’s Mr Jones EP by returning to the vocal-flecked hypnotic techno that marked out that release. Complimenting those are two new cuts from a true master of hallucinatory off-kilter techno, Terrence Dixon in his Population One guise.

Joining them will be a pair of names from the techno pantheon who have been huge influences on Kraviz: with a career that’s taken in releases on Synewave, Trax, Novamute and Richie Hawtin’s early-90s Probe Records, Steve Stoll has been mining his own variant on techno and acid minimalism for over twenty years, heading up the Proper NYC label and releasing under various pseudonyms, such as Cobalt, of which Kraviz has been a long-term fan. His counterintuitively titled ‘Pop Song’ sits alongside a 13-minute 90s techno excursion from Reykjavik’s Exos - the only previously-released cut (originally appearing on Thule Records sub-label Plast Trax in 1998) - together illustrating that трип will also live up to its name in the geographical sense: showcasing great music from historically vibrant electronic music scenes outside of the usual Detroit-Berlin axis.

With Kraviz looking to build a small repertory of talent around трип, this first release also makes room for two newer names: Bjarki is an Icelandic talent to keep a firm eye on, who drew Kraviz’s attention in a chance meeting after a gig at Copenhagen’s Culturebox club, after which he passed her a collection of mind-bendingly odd demos; while Parrish Smith is a talented Netherlands-based producer whose short yet impactful sketch ‘1.0 / 8.0 Afrika Genocide’ brings the second 12” to a bewitching close.

All tracks on ‘The Deviant Octopus’ will feature on Nina Kraviz’s DJ Kicks compilation, out in January 2015 on !K7 Records.

1. AOS00? - The Shit I Know (Preview)

KIKO - FRANCE (Spinnin, David Guetta , Warner Music, Afterlife, Diynamic, Siona , Truesoul, Watergate, Family Piknik Music)

With three decades at the forefront of the Electronic music scene, legendary French artist KIKO keeps on making huge waves. After a ﬁrst global hit ‘Home’ next to David Guetta out in 2024, KIKO has just dropped a massive follow up on Spinnin with David Guetta & Olivier Giacomotto. With more than 2 million Spotify streams under the ﬁrst week and more than 2000 radios adding the track to their rotations, ‘After You’ turns KIKO into one of the most streamed artists in 2025. This year also sees him partnering with the acclaimed Miss Monique, with a release on her label (‘Bak Bak’) and a show for her Ibiza’s residency at Hï Club.

Still very active in his studio, KIKO has gained support from many top DJs, including Tiësto, Solomun, Tale of Us, Adam Beyer and David Guetta, just to name a few. Within the past months, KIKO has performed great back-to-back shows with Joachim Garraud, Olivier Giacomotto, playing a lot of big shows and even relaunching his former project Phunky Data.

Started in the early 90s, hailing from French city of Grenoble, KIKO’s knowledge has been consistent. Next to his best friends The Hacker, Oxia and Miss Kittin, KIKO has experienced both Rave world and mainstream opportunities thanks to his ﬁrst live duo Phunky Data (along with Oxia), invited to play the ﬁrst big Techno Parade in Paris, as broadcasted on one of the biggest French TV channels. ‘World Cup’, his ﬁrst big hit released in 1998, is still one of the most iconic tracks from the glorious French Touch era.

30 years later, KIKO keeps on being one of the most watched out producers when it comes to Indie Dance & Melodic Techno. KIKO’s releases have all been highly supported and played all around the world, jumping into Beatport’s top sales and bringing him a high exposure.

More than ever, KIKO is a key name in the global underground scene, still touring the world as a DJ and signing remarkable tracks to the biggest labels of our industry.
