DJ Qu (US), Nikola Vemić

Strength Music Records' DJ QU debuts at Karmakoma, alongside Nikola Vemić for Karmakoma's House2House saga.

Last year, his house and techno label marked 20 years of hard work, releasing the vast majority of Ramon's output. With a background in urban street dance and a little help from his cousin, DJ QU quickly became known for his delicate house productions, making close ties with the likes of Joey Anderson, P Funk, and Jus-Ed. It was the “Expressway EP ” on TS Records from 2006 that set him off on an international career and a residency at the HouseDanceConference in New York.

But it's the question about the equipment he makes music with that he answered oh so wittily: Pots and pans. This illustrates QU's belief that whatever you have, if you possess magic within you, you can create it with anything. A lil' motivational wisdom for free on Karmakoma channel.

Nikola Vemić, former Lovefest programmer and current Lift co-head, brought DJ QU to Serbia before, and thus is our pick for the night.
