DJ AKEE
Biografía
DJ AKEE hails from Kazakhstan. His career began with street dancing, where he achieved remarkable success. Concurrently, he started DJing at dance battles, which subsequently influenced his playing style. Currently, DJ AKEE is a prominent cultural figure in Kazakhstan, organizing events, hosting radio shows, curating music, producing, and frequently playing at underground parties.
He is the founder of the Vihod party series, which aims to develop the house music scene in Kazakhstan. It serves as a platform not only for local DJs but also for international talent. Vihod has featured foreign DJs such as Kapela (Fr), Pedro Bertho (Br), Jamz Supernova (UK), Kikelomo (GR), and Juba (UK). This spring, the Vihod team collaborated with the British platform Keep Hush, which allowed them to showcase the local electronic scene to a global audience.
Akee is also the founder of the Vortex party series, which focuses on popularizing the disco genre.
In 2021, Akee (under his old nickname Aki) performed at Boiler Room (Almaty). His set demonstrated the breadth of his musical range.
Akee also works as a music curator for five online radio stations with diverse genres, all accessible via the IZI app.
Passionate about his craft and deeply interested in history, Akee initiated the filming of a documentary about the history of Almaty's electronic music scene, which currently remains unexplored and undocumented by local media. The premiere is scheduled for this autumn.
AKEE's sound is diverse and global. In his mixes and performances, AKEE constantly reinterprets his musical identity. He is always searching for new sounds, regardless of genre, origin, or groove. In his sets, he aims to evoke bliss and euphoria in the audience. House, disco, electro, Afro, and rhythms from various countries are his favorite weapons, and turntables are his playground.
