Known for his fast-paced, technical mixing ability, and unparalleled energy, Auckland-based DJ CIKO has been on an absolute tear of late. A prominent social media DJ with over 10k followers on Instagram and more than 40k on TikTok, Ciko has been gaining widespread recognition as one of the rising stars in the Drum and Bass scene, with major artists such as Hedex engaging with his content.

A natural behind the decks and in front of the camera, with undeniable skills not only in mixing but also in community engagement, 2024 is just the beginning for CIKO.
