Kuo Climax

Born in Málaga in 1991, Spanish DJ and producer Kuo Climax is the alias of Felipe Jimenez Gálvez. He began producing at 21, drawing on vintage sounds and broken beats associated with his home province. Before his work as a producer took off, he organized the PIER 4 parties, using the events and their dancefloor crowds as a launching point for his DJ career. His productions have since found homes on labels including Avotre, Emerald City and Knee Deep in Sound.

Kuo Climax’s music connects older house references to contemporary underground club rhythms. In interviews, he has described working in a home studio in the hills around Málaga and later developing new material in Barcelona. His releases have brought him into the orbit of international artists including Jamie Jones, Loco Dice and Marco Carola. From local event promoter to international DJ and producer, Jimenez’s trajectory reflects the close relationship between community-building, club performance and studio work.
