Dreams Don't Die in Space

As the traveler ambled through the crisp air of early spring, he noticed the earth awakening; buds unfurled from branches, and pushy daffodils broke through the frost like joyful children racing into a party. A revelation struck him like a gust of fresh wind: he felt more steadfast than a tree rooted in rich soil, stronger than his own self-doubt, realizing that this path—one filled with wandering, wonder, and the occasional misstep—was irrevocably his. Challenging decisions once made in trepidation now felt like playful leaps into puddles of possibility. As he watched a butterfly dance past, he couldn't help but chuckle at how absurdly easy it had been to forget the beauty that thrived in change, each petal and leaf echoing his own healing transformation. Embracing a newfound enthusiasm, he laughed into the sun, knowing there was no turning back, but with every step forward, a brighter tomorrow awaited, bursting with life and potential.

In 2015, he worked with pop artist Thierry de Cara (Capitol) on projects as a sound engineer and beatmaker for major players in the music industry, including Universal Music, Sony, and M6. This led to his contribution of eight tracks on the album Love & Soul by Canadian artist Corneille.

In 2024, following several performances in Barcelona, spanish label Side Up Works offered him the opportunity to release an EP (e-nough), which received critical acclaim.
His productions, blending Indie Dance, progressive house, and techno, have captivated an international audience of renowned DJs and producers, including John Digweed, Laurent Garnier or Carl Cox to name a few.

Hey Friends! Italo alert! 🚨
K. Torpela strikes again with "Italo Summer Nightmares" — his second mix for The Beat Society.
A neon-lit ride through haunted synths and midnight memories.
Let the summer night lead the dance!👻

K. Torpela is a DJ based in Kouvola, Finland, navigating in darker, mutated disco-esque soundscapes. Over the years, he has developed a distinctive and multifaceted signature sound of his own, a retro futuristic soundsphere where different timelines collide.

His sets are built on a Indie Dance / Dark Disco framework, drawing influence from Italo, New Beat, EBM, Acid, Techno, Synthwave.

Sound of distant synths and pulsating bass waves echoing through the dark, his sets are both haunting and captivating. Mysterious, atmospheric and drenched in 80's nostalgia. Like a fever dream under neon lights.
