Three artists exist using the name Kiko: a French Techno artist, a Portuguese Jazz singer, and an American drum’n’bass producer.

Kiko (Fr):
Since his debut in ‘92, Kiko is considered one of the very influential players on the French techno scene. The first important project was Phunky Data, a formation of the Grenoble scene (Oxia – The Hacker – Human Body) around the independent labels Goodlife – Interface – Ozon shop (set up by Kiko in ‘95). This formation, in combination with some other artists, made Grenoble the French electronic city.

By the end of 2000, Kiko decided to take some distance from the decks to concentrate fully on productions and to orientate these productions around two movements that influenced him the most: new-wave and italo disco. This inheritance was discovered for the first time with Midnight Magic (2001), Goodlife (Monique – international underground classic) and last but certainly not least with Love Emulator (2002 – Sinema project created with Stéphane Deschnezeaux).

As Ozone (you have 2 spellings for this…see above) disappeared, Kiko created the Hot Banana label with Fabrice G. Hot Banana explores numerous productions and projects of Kiko: Money Penny project, Mix Machine with Gino S (Electrogenic EP from summer 2003 with the famous Bikini track), Human Body, Yannick Baudino, Naommon, David Carretta and a special project with The Hacker and Alexander Robotnick (guy on the forefront of Electro-Disco)
