Christos Kedras was born and grew up in Greece next to the majestic waters of the Aegean Sea,
an environment that helped him develop a natural sense for the elegant & graceful.
Having travelled a lot from a young age, he adopted a cosmopolitan lifestyle and lived in numerous
cities including Amsterdam, Athens, London, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
He was immediately attracted to the soulful qualities of early house music and found his
genre in the European dance-lounges of the mid/late 90s - places like Amsterdam's Supper Club,
London's Voodoo Lounge and Paris' Barfly, where dancing, euro-chic sophistication,
and style seemed to co-exist effortlessly.
Moving to Los Angeles he quickly gained acclaim for his sophisticated DJ sets thanks to his unique
ability to blend different styles in a seamless flow creating variety and "keeping things interesting"
for his audience. Whether it is bossa nova, nu jazz & broken beat at restaurant bars & gallery openings,
or deep, latin, funky & disco house on the dance floor, Christos' music always stands out as unique.
He has participated in numerous DJ nights spinning alongside Jay-J, Claude Monnet, John Beltran, Random Soul,
Raul Campos, Q-Burns, Graham Sahara, and for the likes of Sting, Armani Exchange, the Coalition of
LA Designers, the Kabbalah, Create:Fixate, & numerous events.
In the studio, Christos has collaborated with world-class musicians like Justo Almario, Marconi de Morais,
Adam Zimmon, Grecco Buratto, D Booker, and Tiago D'Errico. Along with fellow DJ & producer Martin East,
they co-established Kapa Music a dance/house label
that combines the dancefloor vibe with real songwriting & high quality production. Christos' releases
have earned him kudos from international heavyweights like Pete Tong, Ian Pooley, Nick Warren, Andy Ward,
Tony Humphries, Spen, Richard Earnshaw, Mr. V, Meme, and have aired on numerous radios including KCRW,
BBC Radio 1, Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi, Radio FG, and Ibiza Global Radio. He has licensed tracks
for Kaskade, Roger Sanchez, Ibiza compilations and more.
Christos also compiles & presents the "Beat Philosophy radio hour" an hourly mix of brand new & handpicked
nu jazz, nu disco, deep, soulful & dance house that airs on numerous FM & Internet radio stations worldwide.
