Italian-born and London-based, Uakoz is a DJ, producer, and sound engineer recognised for his energetic, groove-driven techno that fuses Hardgroove and UK breakbeat influences. He made his debut in 2015 with the vinyl EP “Handtrace” on Pig&Dan’s Elevate, marking the start of a consistent rise.
His versatile, high-impact DJ sets have led him to major bookings, headlining stages and venues like Junction 2, Outernet, E1, Fabric, and EGG, alongside international appearances at Sisyphos (Berlin), Melkweg (Amsterdam), Bahnwärter Thiel (Munich), and shows across Croatia, France, Poland, Switzerland, Spain, and Los Angeles. He has shared the booth with prominent artists, including DJ Rush, Klaudia Gawlas, Gary Beck, Adam Beyer, and Flug. His sets seamlessly blend raw old-school energy, hypnotic rhythm, and melodic strands, always shaped by the atmosphere of the crowd and the allotted playtime.
Parallel to his work in the booth, Uakoz has demonstrated his quality in the studio with numerous milestone releases, landing tracks on respected labels such as Indira Paganotto’s ARTCORE, Kevin Saunderson’s KMS Records, Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains, and Arjun Vagale & Ramiro Lopez’s Odd Recordings. His music has reached some of the world’s most respected stages, including Berghain, Awakenings, Hï Ibiza, Club Space Miami, Nocturnal Wonderland, Elrow Town, ZUL, and Fabrik Madrid. With consistent support from artists like Carl Cox, Freddy K, Drumcell, Tanith, Marco Bailey, Juliet Fox, and many others, his tracks have featured on John Digweed’s Live in Tokyo (Bedrock) and The Club of 27 – Space Ibiza CD. A 2023 feature in DJ Mag further solidified his position within the global techno landscape.
Uakoz stands as an eclectic artist driven by a deep technical background and an unwavering commitment to constant evolution within the global techno sphere.
