Bio // The Story So Far

Full Bio

Akriza [uh-krih-zuh] is a DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Denver, Colorado, creating globally influenced bass music that defies easy categorization. His sound draws from genres around the world—incorporating instruments and traditions from diverse musical cultures—while staying rooted in bass, 140, and half-time tempos ranging from 50-120bpm.

What sets Akriza apart is his consistency within diversity. Though his music spans a wide range of influences and energies, the signature sound remains unmistakable. His sets are journeys, not just collections of bangers—taking listeners through complete emotional arcs. A true chameleon, Akriza fits any venue, from high-energy club nights to downtempo experiences, while maintaining his distinct voice.

As both a DJ and live performer, Akriza brings a unique dimension to his shows. Live sets feature piano, violin, and live looping, creating an organic element that bridges electronic production with instrumental performance. He fills the gap between music that's too fast and music that's too slow, crafting experiences that move both mind and body.
