Remembered for his dreamy deep house soundscapes inspired by the south of France, Kousto channels memories of summer along the coast. Kousto first emerged in 2018. Performing under a pseudonym, the artist’s name is inspired by the French explorer, Jacques Cousteau. Since his inception, his presence on the emerging artist scene has been firmly established with a slew of critically-acclaimed releases. 2020 saw the release of “Guadapipi” on Little Foot Records – a track tipped as an “Ibiza Dance Floor Moment” by @TSHA on BBC1 Radio. Following this, Kousto’s summer EP, The Aquarium Effect, received attention for its hit track “The Job” ft. Aroop Roy which was supported by @Disclosure in their Cercle set in August 2020. In 2021, Kousto's new year single release "Earth Embassy" earned itself media attention due to its hopeful affirmations in the face of the pandemic that waged on. Partnering for the first time with @Folamour on his newly founded label, House of Love, Februray 2023 will see the launch of Kousto's most recent EP, When We Were There. Produced as an ode to the past while firmly rooted in the present, the tracks are set in the grey space between the now and then. One of the pre-eminent tracks, "Jungle Bird", sees Kousto and Folamour's collaboration come to fruition. Featuring original lyrics and vocals by Folamour, world percussions, steel drums and deep pads that reinforce a tribal feel, the track is a nod to Kousto’s spiritual music and influences.
