Akouo breaks the mould of the conventional music producer/DJ, binding himself to no singular genre – instead he embraces the worldwide musical offerings of many cultures. Launceston’s own producer and resident DJ Akuou has set the vibe for good nights since he launched onto the scene. He’s a master beatmaker, with impeccable ties to the hip hop and electronic music industry, an uncanny awareness of exactly the right time to drop a banger or set a mood from his impressively smooth collection. His recent debut 'Mesa' instantly jumped to #1 on the iTunes electronic charts and has since been bringing irresistible beats to our eager ears.
