KAI.WAV, an Anime DJ, springs forth from an alternate reality, drawing inspiration from the sun-soaked vibes of Venice Beach, California. His journey commenced just two years ago, sparked by the discovery of his late father’s vintage record collection. These old soul and funk records became the raw material for his inventive process, leading him to create a distinctive sound he dubs “Serotonin House.” This fusion of house beats with carefully selected samples doesn’t just set him apart—it propels him into a category of his own.
Their joint effort on “I Need A Dollar” injects fresh energy into Aloe Blacc’s iconic track. Originally recognized for its soulful depth and wide-reaching success, the song now receives a revitalizing, stutter-house-inspired makeover under KAI.WAV’s guidance. This version encapsulates the warmth of summer, blending the nostalgic with the contemporary, forging a connection between past and present listeners. It’s a sound that’s familiar yet invigorating, rippling through every DJ set it graces with a sense of timeless freshness.
KAI.WAV’s meteoric ascent, which began just six months ago, has already captured the attention of millions. His remix of Matoma, alongside this pioneering collaboration with Aloe Blacc, marks just the beginning of his journey. With 68k Instagram followers and over 20 million video views, KAI.WAV’s trajectory is nothing short of extraordinary, resonating with listeners around the globe and hinting at even more innovative music on the horizon.
