| About J.Kusti |
|
J.Kusti started out playing drums and guitar for various underground punkrock/alternative/artrock bands in his teen years while growing up in the northern town of Kuopio. Later, after moving to Helsinki in 1998, Juho Kusti was exposed to electronic sounds when a friend moved back from Dublin with a new record collection of mainly chilled out downtempo and drum..n..bass. J.Kusti was immediately impressed by the deep bass sounds and hypnotising beats and found a new direction in music that he could follow. A job at a local cafè where deejays spinned their records and taking the first steps of going to clubs introduced him to house music in the summer of 1999.
J.Kusti..s dj career began in late 2001 when he got the chance to practice his djing skills playing records every sunday at a local bar, Mbar, in Helsinki. After gaining some technical skills he was getting noticed by local djs who then started booking J.Kusti for gigs at local bars and clubs to play quality music for the dancefloors. After a year or so he was offered a residency at Mbar and he took over Mbar..s bookings and musical direction.
His musical style began to slowly shift from chilled out house to more deeper and techno-oriented sounds as he took inspiration from his dj-collegues and foreign underground superstars. Today J.Kusti..s sound can be described as deep and techy combining Berlin and Detroit sounds with a minimal twist.
As well as having a residency at Kartio Club in Mbar he can be spotted playing at various house and techno parties across the country.
J.Kusti also hosts a bi-weekly radioshow on Thursdays at Bassoradio 102.8Mhz 18-20 EET. Check out www.basso.fi
