If you’ve ever felt the pulse of Tech House and Latin House music coursing through your veins, chances are Kenn Colt’s high-energy performances were behind that heartbeat. His mastery in creating an electrifying ambiance was evident when he joined DJ Davis on Nexus Radio during the Technics Space at the Nexus Lounge ADE Edition.
“I’m very good. Very good. Happy to be here,” Kenn Colt started off, a testament to his enthusiasm for the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), which, as he humorously admitted, was his seventh visit. “In the end, the industry is very small, so you always meet the same people,” he shared, noting how the reunion-like atmosphere of ADE keeps him coming back.
But the allure of ADE isn’t just in the crowd. It’s also in the food and, as Kenn Colt noted, the parties. This year, his plans included playing at Club Prime and attending a label showcase—melding the perfect balance of work and networking.
Kenn Colt isn’t just a globetrotter for ADE. He’s recently swapped Belgium for the sandy shores of Valencia in Spain. “Oh, it’s very nice. It’s very nice. It’s like super nice,” he expressed, sharing how the relaxed lifestyle and agreeable weather drew him away from the rat race he left behind in Belgium. The simplicity of life by the sea seems to have provided a new backdrop for his creativity.
Kenn’s journey continues on a musical note. Among his memorable experiences was his performance at Tomorrowland’s Dreamville camping, a sonic landscape he cultivated for over 50,000 eager listeners. And his global reach doesn’t stop there. His latest tour took him across Latin America, where fans lined up with palpable excitement to capture a moment with him, echoing his global connection with fans.
A peek into his creative process reveals a dedicated artist diving into the depths of his own life experiences. Whether it’s collaborating with musicians met on adventures or crafting new tracks that push boundaries, Kenn’s music remains genuine. When asked about the detail that stamps his creations, he remarked, “Consistency is hard, but in the end, people are still listening.”
His engaging storytelling comes alive in the tracks he’s working on – a collection of nearly 15 songs, some of which delve into genres like Afro house. His work ethic underscores his understanding that consistency and authenticity in his music are crucial.
When DJ Davis introduced the “Take Five” segment, a glimpse into Kenn Colt’s lighter side was revealed. Whether reminiscing about his childhood celebrity crush, Megan Fox, or envisioning his life as a dolphin to embody intelligence and joy, Kenn’s charismatic personality shone through.
He even shared an unforgettable experience with an Indian street musician’s flute, a unique sample that turned into “Feels Like a River,” boasting 12 million streams. Though he jokingly noted he should probably give the original musician a royalty check, his vibrant narrative on the inspiration behind music gave fans even more to love.
Kenn Colt’s story is not just about the beats or his performances; it’s a narrative that interacts with his audience on an emotional level. Each chord, every note, is an expression of the life and passion he pours into his art.
