He recently ended his 4 night a week residency at The Parlor, a new hot spot in Los Angeles (Santa Monica) where he brought them up to capacity only after a couple of weeks. Currently he DJs at the Viper Room, one of Hollywood’s famous night spots. Also he holds residencies at the House of Blues and Union Cattle Company in California. In addition to that he frequently spins in Boston and has also held residencies in New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. His demand from club and rave promoters have lead him to perform in Hawaii, California and Arizona. His primary catalog consists of all styles of House music but also diversifies with Top 40 and Hip Hop for other occasions. Not being the typical wedding or corporate function DJ, Kolos has been invited to perform at them, to provide an original fun and energetic flair. He not only is a DJ, he lives, eats and breathes all aspects of music. After attending and receiving a degree in Music Industry from Northeastern University, he went on to work locally for radio (Kiss 108), record labels (X-Mix Records), production companies (Groove Entertainment) and consumer electronics companies (Tweeter, Bose and Strawberries). During the day he is an audio technician for the NFL Network. Everything he does revolves and incorporates music in some way, shape or form."One of his most memorable accomplishments was donating blood, sweat and tears to rock the decks at “Silence”, an Arizona show, in benefit of the 9/11 tragedy, just months after the event. Growing up on classics from the 50s and 60s, along with proto-electro sounds from 80s pioneers, DJ KOLOS has the diverse musical background and innovative set sequencing to keep the dance floors packed. His working relationship with X-Mix records between 1994 and 2004 fostered influences from some of the biggest names worldwide like Armand van Helden, Lenny Bertoldo, Bad Boy Bill, Felix da Houscat, DJ Sneak, Josh Wink, DJ Manolo and DJ Tony Z. Other influences include, Tiesto, BT, and George Acosta. He also derives his sound and style from world music he collects from traveling and his own strong cultural ties. Being a musician first, classically trained trumpet player, self taught piano and drums, KOLOS has always wanted to make his own music and not just spin others. He is currently keeping busy by DJing in LA 5 nights a week, parties and by producing and remixing music for other artists. He is also in production of his 1st EP due out in 2008, check back soon for updated information
