KUUPES is a DJ driven by vibe over hype. Raised in a musical family and immersed in sound from a young age, his taste developed broad and boundary-free — always ahead of trends rather than following them. His musical foundation spans house and disco at its core, enriched with progressive elements, tropical and percussive rhythms, and influences from breakbeat, UK garage and drum & bass.

Cultural influence plays a key role in KUUPES’ sound. Drawing inspiration from Arabic, Portuguese and global rhythms, his sets feel warm, rhythmic and layered, balancing joyful energy with depth and emotion. Basslines, vocals and groove-driven percussion form the backbone of his selections.

KUUPES approaches every set as a journey, gradually building from slower, groove-led rhythms towards higher energy. Depending on the moment and the crowd, his sound can naturally evolve into techno, trance or hard house, without losing musical coherence. His strength lies in reading the room and allowing the music to guide the direction.

Behind the decks, KUUPES combines a focused presence with expressive energy. He connects instinctively with the dancefloor, creating a shared experience rather than a performance built on spectacle. His sound and approach translate seamlessly to day parties and club environments, where flow, timing and atmosphere are essential.

In addition to DJing, KUUPES is actively involved in the scene as a programmer, working closely with artists, trends and line-ups for venues and events such as Hedon and Overstag. This perspective sharpens his musical intuition and keeps his sound forward-thinking, curated and context-aware.
