Kim Stockblom AKA KIMONO, born 1982, Stockholm, Sweden got introduced, at the age of 13, to Electronic and foremost Detroit Techno. Childhood heroes like Jeff Mills and Derrick May influenced him to get his first pair of turntables and FX's. By spending all his money on vinyl records he soon discovered many other artists and dj's. Swedish legends like Adam Beyer, Cari Lekebusch, Thomas Krome and Joel Mull impressed KIMONO the most when it came to sound and performance.

Around 2007 Kim started to assemble his own production studio, and has since then been producing around the clock to improve his skills eagerly. Style wise he has always been keen on a bit more "dirty", experimental sounds, and also keeping track of the coming and going trends within Techno.

Kim also is deeply involved in the Stockholm event scene, and has created many parties involving well known artists in the international Techno scene, like Adam Beyer, Cari Lekebusch, The Advent, Joel Mull, Joey Beltram ... many and much more to come from this uprising young father of two.
