Tricky
From Detroit/Windsor area is born another groundbreaking artist unwilling to settle for the sounds of mediocrity and cliche so common in todays electronic music universe. Kero aka Sohail Azad was brought up on the underground sounds of Detroit/Windsor throughout the better part of the 90s. Inspired by unusual sonic landscapes and complex sequencing techniques, Kero developed a taste for the more experimental side of electronic music bringing the sounds of Autechre, Aphex Twin and Richard Devine to the virgin ears of many young Detroiters. Armed with a talent for raw digital mayhem Kero immersed himself in a constant production frenzy, developing his unique signature sound blending complex and experimental programming tactics with the more harsh and dark sonic sculpture of harder loop tek.
Along side his audio production, Kero's digital multimedia sensor activated video installations and cutting edge print artwork have drawn attention from many and made him one of the key multimedia designers in the Detroit/Windsor underground and we do mean deep....
You can find Kero's releases on german labels Bpitch Control, Shitkatapult, Sender Records and Detroit labels Lowres Records, Livewire Records, Ghostly International and Feed the Machine. Kero also remixed for Metamatics on the English label Hydrogen Jukebox. As well as a talented producer, Kero is a staple of the Detroit/Windsor club and party scene playing such established venues as the Motor Lounge and St. Andrews Hall in Detroit, 7th House, Clutch Cargo in Pontiac and Platinum Underground Amsterdam, Changes and Lift in Windsor, Canada. In Germany, Kero has done live acts/vide0 installations/dj at Tresor Berlin, Labland at WMF Berlin, Volksbuehne Theatre Berlin, CNG Berlin, Dehli Berlin, Die-Lounge Alte Feuerwache in Mannheim, NBI Neu Berliner Initiative Berlin and Bastard in Berlin. Kero has done video installations in Germany at Tresor Berlin, E-werk in Freiburg, Bastard Berlin and HD800 in Mannheim.
