Jakhira

Bio

Jakhira is a British-born, Belgium-based house music DJ and producer whose memories of dance music go back to an early age.His feeling for music in general was clear before he could walk or talk, and after spending his childhood playing on toy instruments he started writing and producing his own compositions at the age of 14.Shortly after came his first turntables and a vinyl love affair, often spending entire days and small fortunes at local record shops.In the following 10 years he tried his hand at several genres, always looking for a style to call his own.Noticeably, in 2005 a collaboration with a close friend was played at the first Belgian edition of Sensation White, at one of the country's largest venues, after having already received airplay on national radio.From 2006 onwards he started to approach each production with more focus, slowly evolving to his current signature style: meticulously cut percussion and rich harmonies, halfway between deep and melodic.It was also around this time that as a DJ he switched from vinyl to digital, falling in love with Ableton Live's capabilities. Jakhira is known for his obsession for editing and looping the tracks he plays to forge seamless transitions.
