This week we are thrilled to welcome one of the rising star DJ/producers from the progressive music hotbed of Sri Lanka.
Kaveen Suraweera aka KAZKO first emerged in 2020 with a string of tech-house oriented releases, before finding his way into progressive house with releases via 3rd Avenue, Balkan Connection, Bonzai Progressive, Dopamine White, Soundteller, and Another Life Music in 2021. 2022 has seen the Colombo resident continue to rise, adding projects for Antrim’s Strangers Beats, The Soundgarden, Clubsonica, Revolt Music, 3rd Avenue, Freegrant Music, Balkan Connection and Transensations Records to his resume.
It was a huge milestone in Kazko’s music journey, when he started to release his wonderful music tracks in early 2021 with worldwide leading record labels.
His tracks were supported by celebrity DJs like Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, Armin van Buren, Guy J, Solomun, DJ Ruby, Dubfire, Paco Osuna, Cevin Fisher, and more.
His music has a melodic sensibility like few others can manage and yet is always marked by a solid undertow of devilish groove. OPV listeners are fortunate to get this exclusive session!
