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.
