Introducing EVO-K

aaamusic | On 14, Jun 2012

Kam a.k.a. EVO-K – Djane & Producer hailing from North Italy,

is currently among the first rising Electro House/Dubstep FEMALE music producers and the very first in Italy.

Her story started in 2005 and found the first success in 2008 with her debut album, but it was the rollercoaster ride (!) that EVO-K have experienced over the past 3 years till the second effort DIVERSE (WE ARE) that officially opened the doors to success, giving to this alternative DeeJane an increasing number of fans and successful international live acts.

EVO-K is a groundbreaking music source.

EVO-K is synonymous with outsider.

EVO-K is an ambitious project involving international DJs and music producers.

EVO-K is a way of thinking outside the box and proudly play away from the Italian music styles.

Back to the tender age of 14, Kam made a conscious decision to dedicate the rest of her life to her one passion: ‘MUSIC!‘

Today she’s one of the most consistent Italian new generation FEMALE PRODUCERS in the house music genre, with 2 albums under her belt, 4 singles released for compilations and hundreds of live performances all over the world, spanning the last 3+ years.

Settled in Northern Lake Garda, her music took her on worldwide tours, with several appearances in USA, Russia, France, Germany (on the huge stage of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, performing for the first time in front of an audience of 500.000+ people), Egypt, Italy, UAE and Brazil. EVO-K taking her love for music very seriously has improved herself and her sets combining an appropriate and trendy music selection with a keen technical ability and thrilling on-stage presence.

Following her father’s footsteps, she grew up as a pure rock musician, after she studied hard singing and music production. Though she is a singer and musician undoubtedly orientated to the dance floor, Kam gives rise to the unique EVO-K‘s sound combining DJing, playing live, writing, audio programming and substantial production capacities.

What does EVO-K’s music sound like?

“my prevailing genre is House Music, but today I am highly contaminated with Electro and Dubstep styles (I love Complextro madly!)… and also a pinch of Progressive House. However, in some of my tracks you can hear (and feel) EDM and Techno vibes. I try to

mix all these music genres and it can sometimes sound strange. But when everything is dosed in moderation it becomes a very smooth and solid mix of sounds.

Whereas, my greatest desire is being able to communicate through my Music everything that no other language can express, I can say that my music is inspired by the experiences of my whole life: travels, passion, joys, pain, sex, tears, desires, loves, prohibitions, the world around me…. and my need for FREEDOM! My sound is neither too extreme nor too niche, actually rather commercial, I would say.” (Kam)

So what makes it unique?

“All my emotions, moods and vibes that I DRESS EVERY SINGLE NOTE WITH, when I write.” (Kam)

EVO-K is ready to release her second studio album DIVERSE (WE ARE) this summer.

“As proud as I was of my previous efforts, but contrary to what my first album was, I really needed this new one to sound really genuine, introspective, clean, direct, sometimes rough maybe… but with a huge sense of optimism and celebration!

I tried to catch the initial thought, its first expression, the roots of every single song.

I wanted every song to be like a chapter in a sort of autobiography, in this way each track sounds with its own color, atmosphere, meaning and a deep personality.

Claiming the unmistakable EVO-K‘s style.” (Kam)

“aggressive”, “emotional” and “dreamy” are amongst early preview/reviews.

A skill and a passion that everyone can hear in all her productions and DJ acts today, and of course massively in her 2012 Album, of which some tracks have been produced and remixed together with several international Dj’s & producers: Etic/D-SOLVE (the Israeli Progressive Trance and Psy Progressive producer Etay Harary); the Russian Aleksey RostoV; the Swedish rapper CONTÉ DBM and the American dj Bryan K.

EVO-K performs a solid House / Tech-House / Progressive & Electro House LIVE ACT / DJ SET: harmony between Deejaying, performing live, vocal skills and immediate contact with the people. Oozing the excitement of the nightlife experience into pure adrenaline, creating the raw sound that defines the scene’s true core.

Well oiled to know how to bring a dance floor to life!

Moreover, for all the brave-enough-venues eager to experience an ALL-FEMALE long and exciting DJanes liveset… EVO-K‘s available to perform a back-to-back with some of the coolest Italian djanes.

A new charisma, no more male or female…. neither a standard act nor a simply DJ…

EVO-K s something unique, sparkling, itchy…

definitely something you have not experienced yet!

_HIGHLIGHTS:

* EVO-K‘s first Electro House / Dubstep single 2DAY exclusively on Beatport from August 2012.

* proud to become in 2012 the first Italian female endorser for Reloop DJ Equipment, EVO-K‘s also testimonial for VIOEL Skate, Surf & Snowboard wear.

* MIRACLE is one of the most expressive song of the new Album (hence the name of the 2012 tour – SAVE THE WORLD) emphasizing – even in the sound – the environmental and climate crisis, with metaphorical references also to the global crisis.

* with the SAVE THE WORLD tour, EVO-K‘s Team would like to donate a portion of revenues from the scheduled gigs and sales of the official merchandise, to the victims of Japan’s tragic earthquake and tsunami. Ending the tour – if that is possible – with few gigs in Japanese territory.

“It is a long time that we want to give aid through the power of our music – but alone – especially as emerging artists, it is a really difficult task to achieve… an almost impossible dream! We’ll see if we make it happen in 2012 and why no even due to the support of Clubs Managers and Events Organizers willing to get involved to this important humanitarian goal!”
