Chukku writes, produces, records, and mixes every track himself. No co-writers. No outside engineers on the mix. At the level of Armada Music (Disconnected) and Sol Selectas, this is almost unheard of — the industry standard involves teams. Every decision on every track is intentional. Every frequency, every arrangement, every dynamic: one set of ears, one vision, start to finish.
Born in Germany. Based in Bali. Releasing on labels from Amsterdam to Cape Town. The music sits at the intersection of underground electronic and something more cinematic — built for the dancefloor, but built to outlast the night. The sound carries the weight of the journey: Berlin club culture, years in Hong Kong, and an island in Bali that changes how you hear.
2026 is the collaboration year. 27 releases. 12 vocalists. 2 instrumentals. Each one an experiment — a different voice, a different chemistry, a different discovery. The audience is watching the process unfold in real time.
This is how the debut album gets built. Every release is one step closer to defining the sound that will form the debut album in March 2027. Not content strategy. Not volume. A year-long story with a visible destination — and the audience watching every step of the climb.
Signed to Armada Music (Disconnected). His official remix for Jan Blomqvist reached the Top 100 in 70+ countries, achieved multiple Top 10 chart positions, and hit #1 in Lebanon.

Releases also on Sol Selectas, Madorasindahouse, and Dreamers & Dancers — distributed worldwide via Kontor New Media, Germany's #1 independent electronic distributor.
Chukku has performed at Wonderfruit (Thailand), Clockenflap (Hong Kong), Secret Shamba (Kenya), Pacha Ibiza, Tresor (Berlin), Volar (Hong Kong), Morabito (Bali), and Greenkomm (Germany) — sharing stages with Damian Lazarus, Kenny Glasgow, Tube & Berger, Nakadia, Pippi Ciez, William Djoko, Oxia, Viken Arman, and Felix Da Housecat.
As founder of Aya Studios Bali, a high-end recording facility, Chukku works alongside Grammy and Emmy Award-winning producer Kipper (Sting, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder), Grammy-nominated engineer Mikalai Skrobat (Kanye West, Travis Scott, Pharrell Williams), and artists including Jamie Jones, Adriatique, Damian Lazarus, Seth Troxler, Guy Gerber, Laolu, Nick Morgan, Pippi Ciez, and Rui Da Silva.
The same precision applied to every Chukku release has been called on by major international brands. As an engineer, composer, and sound designer, his work spans BBC, National Geographic, Universal Studios, Coca-Cola, Lamborghini, Audi, BMW, Chanel, Hermès, Timberland, Lego, Spotify, and Disneyland.
Founder of Souta, an independent underground electronic label — 35+ releases across melodic house, deep house, and afro house. Distributed worldwide via Kontor New Media. The conviction that human-made music deserves a proper home, built into a structure.
