If you’re down with neon lights, gold chains and Nintendo sounds, come see kap10kurt at NickyDigital.com’s Official CMJ Showcase! It’s all about the electrifying, the power, the verve, the sweat. Think Game Boy. Think new wave. Think sexy synth!
Originally from Switzerland, kap10kurt brings the jams, stemming from an early music career using a 4-Track cassette recorder and an Atari computer for many years. Now proper studio set-ups let him take the dream far beyond that, bringing you pure, electro-pop-funk bliss. So spill your drink and get funky. After all, you can always use the ice to cool yourself down afterwards!
