About Kahua Music
Kahua Music is based in the north-east of England and headed up by Ian Straker, who has a passion and experience for a wide range of areas within dance music. Ian's involvement in the music industry began whilst at University as a DJ, event organiser/promoter and as 'Head of Dance Music' at LCR Radio. It was while at University that Kahua was born, initially as a club night. After graduating Ian and Daniel Sudron set up Kahua Music as a record store based in the North-East of England. Kahua's promotion and publishing sections were formed in early 2008 offering specialist services to record labels and artists working within the house genre.
Ian is also co-owner of Lost My Dog Records where he is responsible for A&R and the day to day operation of the label, including scheduling, licensing, press, promotion and marketing. Many of Kahua Music's services have grown out of the experience and expertise gained from running Lost My Dog.

Andy Toka Project/Inland Knights: yeah really cool!.....loving sun city hustlers track...and programming is wicked......definately gonna get plays from me
Giom: Loving the original mix and also Tom's new original tune, programming! Paaaaaaarty!
Gav Littlemen: Love the original and Programming
Ben (Brown/Unpopular) i like all the tracks. my favourites of real thang are the original and toms mix - especially like the rudebwoy b-line and old style beats of the TSI mix.my favourite of the whole release is programming - i think mostly cos of the samples and the way they are arranged. its good fun.
Mike (Kolour): sch's original broke new ground for these guy's sound. it has a nice disco vibe that works really well in the mix. i've been playing it since john sent it moons ago. the mastering on it came out perfect too. really brings the tune to life.damien's remix features more of the vocal and that's never a bad thing as far as i'm concerned. he churned out yet another remix where he takes the original tune and makes it his own. this is definitely something i'll play tom's remix is definitely a departure from the other two versions. he adds a level of filth to it that contrasts the dynamic of the EP just enough to give it that 'something for everyone' feel.
Quell: I LOVED Damien's old/new school remix and the original version of that track and i really like Toms 'programming' track.
Strakes (Lost My Dog): Original mix of Real Thang is sounding good – r
