John Douskos aka Dousk is a Greek-born artist. In 1999, at the age of 20, he had already completed his studies in classical music, which comprised of classical piano, jazz and electronic music production and engineering. However, even as early as 1998 he had already started his music career as a music producer for radio and TV ads. Currently, he is studying economics at the University of Patras, although he spends most of his time either on his computer or in his studio, working on his favorite occupation ' music. Moreover, he is one of the three founders of the band/project JDK along with Jose Zamora and Chris Nemmo.
His influences originate mostly from the electronic genre, whether be it in the form of 60's and 70's psychedelia and experimental electronic music, or even the late 70's disco, and moving to 80's progressive rock and avant-garde electronic music or even 90's techno and breakbeat among other dance music forms. Being an avid fan of technology and computer games, he finds influence even in the music of these games and also at computer demo soundtracks.
Since he seeks happiness through variety, his compositions fall mainly into two categories: Dance music [Progressive House-Breaks & Techno] and Experimental [Ambient, Downtempo, Abstract, Industrial].

Welcome to DJ.Malaria you may wonder why I called this group Dj Malaria.
Just like Malaria takes over a person's body when it hits them i want my music's originality to control the soul of whoever hears it in that sense my music is more powerful than Malaria,and I'm sure it will but in a positive way of
course.
PLUR men wejje...
