  the whole biography

  Kurilo - born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and now based in New York, Kurilo has been deeply connected to rhythm since the age of 12, when he first began playing percussion. What started as countless hours of practice evolved into a passion for electronic music, eventually leading him to the turntables and the studio. A devoted vinyl selector with a rapidly growing collection that spans decades, Kurilo brings an eclectic yet cohesive sound to his DJ sets — blending rare 90s gems with forward-thinking electronic cuts. Beyond the decks, he is equally at home performing live, weaving percussive textures and hypnotic rhythms into dynamic performances. As a producer, Kurilo has built a strong discography. He is the co-founder of Trance Pandemic, Tunamelt and founder of Etat Records, carving out platforms for innovative and boundary-pushing music. His artistry is also represented by Nomad Agency and he is also a resident DJ at Signal in New York. Kurilo has taken his sound across Europe. With each project, release, and performance, he continues to refine a distinctive style that bridges raw energy with deep musicality.
