George Delkos



Biography of George Delkos

Moniker(s) / Keinton/SquareRoomHeroes/Obey My Disco

Keinton (aka George Delkos) is obsessed by sound. Born and raised in the beachy suburbs of Thessaloniki, Greece, even as a child in the classroom he proved the bane of his teachers as he preferred to furtively listen to music on his walkman at the back of the class rather than focus on what they were trying to teach him. As a teenager he began to travel to across Europe and through attending house and techno parties instantly knew where his future lay. However, rather than wanting to be a DJ, George was more interested in creating and manipulating his own sound. He rigorously studied composition and production for five years, teaching himself using a laptop with Cubase software and whatever books he could lay his hands on, before (once he felt he had a strong grasp of the required techniques laced with his own sense of creative individuality) purchasing his first professional studio equipment.

Within seven months, in the Summer of 2008, his first single was released on the Greek imprint 'Dezign Records' under the name George Delkos. The track in question was 'Deftoner' and was quickly picked up by the likes of Sasha, John Digweed, and Hernan Cattaneo and was duly rinsed worldwide, spending two months glued to the prestigious Number 1 spot on the Beatport chart, and being voted the 3rd best Tech-House track in the Beatport awards. International gigs quickly followed as George began DJing and taking his 'live' show on the road. With some more releases under his belt he decided to move to Berlin at the years end and secured a residency at Cookies, plus some high-profile performances at venues such as the Glade Festival, Cargo And T Bar In London..... 2009 saw him give birth to his Keinton project, focusing on exploring deeper soundscapes. His prolific and consistent output drew attention from some major labels, scoring him releases on 'Resopal Schallware', 'Escada', 'Plastic City', and 'moscow records'.
