Kousto

Kousto first emerged in 2018. Performing under a pseudonym, the artist’s name is inspired by the French explorer, Jacques Cousteau. Since his inception, his presence on the emerging artist scene has been firmly established by a slew of critically-acclaimed releases and support from artists including The Shapeshifters, Honey Dijon and Folamour. Kousto has been tipped as “one to watch” by BBC 1 and BBC 1 Dance, has received press coverage in DJ Mag, Magnetic Mag and Mixmag, and is becoming a hot topic on the UK festival and event scene.

Kousto is recognised for his musical soundscapes that recall summer settings and far-off places, as well as his panache for world music and high-energy, eclectic curation spanning electronic music that keeps the crowd coming. In recent months, Kousto has played with iconic headliners across Europe in venues including Praga Centrum in Warsaw, Paradiso in Amsterdam, REX Club in Paris, KOKO in London, and Pikes in Ibiza.
