French powerhouse Kiko continues to evolve with effortless class. His latest release, Bak Bak EP, lands on Miss Monique’s melodic imprint, Siona Records
Celebrating three decades in the electronic music arena, and fresh off signings to Solomun’s Diynamic, Adam Beyer’s Truesoul, and recently dropping a track with David Guetta, Olivier Giacomotto for the second time, Kiko shows no signs of slowing down, and Bak Bak EP is a powerful reminder of why he remains one of the genre’s most enduring and forward-thinking voices.
“Bak Bak” opens the EP with high-octane flair. Cinematic yet controlled, it fuses taut synthlines, crisp percussion, and sweeping atmospheres to create a perfectly paced peak-time moment. Futuristic and bold, it reflects Kiko’s ability to channel drama and depth in equal measure.
On the flip, “Like a Robot” dives into a more brooding, hypnotic zone. Mechanical and moody, its angular synths and percussive grooves move with robotic finesse, while delicate harmonic layers add soul beneath the steel. The result is a dark-edged roller that still carries an emotional core — classic Kiko.
With over 30 years in the game, Kiko continues to push boundaries. Following a wave of major releases on labels like Afterlife, Diynamic, Watergate, etc., his 2024 highlights include the high-profile collaboration of his track HOME with David Guetta and Olivier Giacomotto on Spinnin’ Records, as well as his forthcoming studio album Digital Family featuring Agoria, Etienne de Crécy, Oxia, and more.
