AiKAi – “Driving techno meets rousing melodies”

AiKAi is a German musician and techno artist.
The project is led by Alexander Knies. He is known for driving grooves and emotionally charged melodies. Growing up near Mannheim in a musical family, he was exposed to a wide range of musical influences from an early age. His first steps into music began behind the drums, shaping the strong rhythmic foundation that defines his sound today.

At the age of 13, AiKAi discovered electronic music production and started creating his own tracks. What began with a laptop and simple equipment gradually evolved into a distinct techno sound that blends raw energy with melodic depth. His productions are characterized by powerful basslines, clean arrangements and melodies that stay with the listener while pushing the dancefloor forward.

After numerous releases on established labels and performances at clubs and events, AiKAi took the next step in 2019 by co-founding the techno label KMSelection. The label quickly gained international recognition, achieving Beatport Top 100 placements and receiving support from renowned artists such as Amelie Lens, Xenia (UA), Pappenheimer, Kerstin Eden, among others.
