Kleo Kleanthous

Profile:

Hailing from North London, Kleo’s reputation for powerful underground dance music, continues to grow apace. A lifelong lover of all music, he was teaching himself guitar, when he first ventured into the underground dance scene in 1990, that was then rapidly traded-in, for some vinyl decks.

Influenced by all kinds of producers and DJs, he has been honing his deep, bright, tight and melodic style, for which he has become known for. Kleo plays a variety of styles, ranging from the electric side of deep house and vocal tracks, through to techno and more acidic-tinged. What began as just a personal passion, became increasingly absorbing, to the point, where he started selling his own underground mix tapes in Camden Market (London), amid a blitz of drum & bass, rave and trance.

Kleo has been breaking fresh tunes and spreading the sounds of London tech house, around the world, since the 1990s. As the scene grew, he ‘graduated’ in 1996, from private parties, to his first residency at the notorious Bar Vinyl Saturday night (the first club-like bar in London to have DJs), followed shortly by a weekly residency at Digit in Brighton. There he was regularly joined by talents like Eddie Richards, Terry Francis, Richard Grey, and Colin Dale. Also did a monthly residency at Heroine party (333 Club), often alongside Clive Henry (Peace Division), the Rescue Recordings parties at the AKA Bar in London, and the occasional NW1 underground warehouse parties.

In 2004, his mix titled ‘Kleo (Kleek Recordings), Worldwide FM (Foot Therapy) wwfm.co.uk, November 2003’, was a fine example of what a definitive London tech house mix is… Flawless, varied, never letting-up, with a beginning, a middle and an end, creating an amazing journey.

Did a course in audio engineering and music production. Built his own studio, as well as helping establish and promote the Rescue Recordings label.

Around 2018, he is in Australia, and continues to DJ and make music under his own Kleek Recordings label.
