KAAZE

Born to stand out and bred to create, Swedish DJ, producer and songwriter KAAZE is a frontrunner to becoming one of electronic dance music’s next-gen luminaries.

With both musical mastery and laser-focus determination in his artistic arsenal, KAAZE, the pseudonym of Mick Kastenholt, is recognised as #48 in the world’s Top100DJs. His highest ranking yet and a direct mirror of the upward-moving trajectory KAAZE’s career is on.

An ever-growing 1.4 million monthly Spotify listeners check in to KAAZE’s voluminous catalogue of cool cuts. Whether it’s his latest intoxicating rework of ‘Maneater’ with Luciana, his official remix of Calvin Harris and Sam Smith’s ‘Desire,’ or, one of his most prominent musical projects to date – ‘MICK'. The 12-track 2023 album proudly emblazoned with his birth-given name opened a direct portal between the listener and Mick Kastenholt, the creator.

Further chart-topping releases have landed on labels such as Tiësto’s Music Freedom and Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings. Both of whom have personally championed the KAAZE name since inception.

KAAZE’s fierce reputation for creating fire in the studio as subsequently positioned him an in-demand collaborator amongst dance music heavyweights Steve Aoki, David Guetta, KSHMR, Maddix Tiësto and Hardwell to name a few. Flexing his diversity as a producer one step further in link ups with global A-listers Britney Spears, and Grammy-nominee John Martin.

However, KAAZE’s rooted sense of self as an artist never strays far from his early exposure to the underground techno scene. It’s this unfiltered rave experience that pushes forward the sound we hear today, and which fans are trending as hot techno. Characterised by deep penetrating techno beats that playfully flirt between the lines of brash and boisterous, yet edgy and melodic.

Transport these defining elements to the dancefloor and the result is pure kinetic energy. Whether he’s behind the decks of a sweaty basement rave, all the way up to the booths of EDC Thailand main stage and world-famous venues such as Ministry of Sound and Ibiza’s Amnesia, KAAZE’s impact is equally unforgettable. 

Storming into 2025 KAAZE marked yet another career milestone with the long-awaited announcement of his debut North America and Canada tour, RESONANCE coming to top cities New York, Detroit, Montreal and more. Festival season swiftly follows with KAAZE confirmed to inflict hot techno beats onto the crowds of Parookaville and Beats For Love and a full summer schedule to be announced soon.

Summer on the road only inspires KAAZE’s drive for new music, with huge remix teasers already rife on KAAZE’s Instagram feed, and the launch of KAAZE’s SE7EN Records proving imminent.
