Kura

Stars are born, not made. And this is exactly of comes to mind when we think of DJ and producer, KURA. He’s 27 years old and is already the 42nd most popular DJ in the world according to DJ Mag’s Top100 2014. KURA has under his belt several releases for labels such as Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings, Ferry Corsten’s Flashover Recordings, MYNC’s Cr2 Records, Robbie Rivera’s Juicy Music, Nicky Romero’s Protocol Recordings, and Armin Van Buuren’s Trice/Armada Music, as well as Ultra Music. Signed to Spinnin Records/MusicAllStars for his label management.

It’s rather curious for a DJ that names Axwell, Nicky Romero, Hardwell and Alesso as his main references when it comes to music production to have been introduced to dance music through Carl Cox’s Fact 2 compilation. But facts are facts and it’s rather refreshing to have new talent rooted on pioneer work! Kura was 11 years old when his attention got captured by a classmate’s Walkman playing “Fact 2”. This was the first electronic dance music CD bought by young Kura, and the dance music expedition began.
