KEINT STIKOVSKY

Biography

Keint Artistic Director & Dj At Bar Rouge Shanghai TURNTABLIST From Paris to Shanghai, French Riviera and Corsica, Keint set off on a pursuit to gain experience and immerse in multiple environments to reveal his passion for music. Throughout this journey, one of the most essential ele- ments he learned is the im- portance of the music played in relation to the crowd and setting. Performing gigs in renowned high-end bars to trendy and chic clubs, to un- derground local venues, his artistic career has developed in a sense how to captivate the attention of any audience through sound selection. Mixing in the magnificent at- mosphere of Parisian nights, at the majestic Genoese ci- tadel of Calvi, and eventually residing in modern Shanghai, Keint confidently believes he has achieved self-fulfillment. These past three years in Shanghai enabled him to develop his network and im- prove his English, as well as obtain a competitive advan- tage of artistic skills through various performances. Some of the tasks he undertook include: sound design for an extremely exclusive and immersive gourmet restau- rant; sound identity and musical soundscapes for reputable corporations; event management and celebrity artist bookings. BIOGRAPHY «And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music» Friedrich Nietzsche In 2009 and 2010, Keint spent the summers in Balagne, Corsi- ca, a precious time period that triggered him to rethink his life. The “Octopussy” beach-res- taurant, the “Acapulco” sum- mer club, the famous disco bar “Chez Tao” and the fes- tival “Calvi on the Rocks” all gave him the spotlight to pu- blicly perform for the rst time. After these few months in Cor- sica, Keint deeply believed his heart was in the music indus- try. With no hesitation at all, he decided to leave his interna- tional business course that at the time he was currently at- tending, and headed for Paris. Once in Paris, he began organi- zing and promoting weekly par- ties at “Club des Saint-Pères”. He managed to triple the club’s customer base each Wed- nesday, thanks to his exten- sive network and original DJ concepts. Meanwhile, he kept mixing at bars and performing for events such as Paris Fashion Week and other private parties. Throughout these experiences, he developed his skills and ab- sorbed the various facets of the job. Fully aware that customer satisfaction is a key expectation for bars and clubs, he learned how to adapt performances to the general public, while also developing his own artistic style at underground parties. Eight months later, he felt the need to explore new sounds and horizons. He decided to try his luck and bought a one way ticket to join a friend in the booming and flourishing city of Shanghai. There, willing to improve, he sought to offer both more com- plete and professional services. He worked diligently to obtain residencies at the fashionable bars and carefully selected the people he collaborated with in order to thrive even higher in the music business. Due to an exponential demand in music creation from the luxu- ry eld, he seized a variety of opportunities, each having different concepts, to even further build upon his skills. Amongst these were corporate culture, sound engineering and techniques and music hunting. Thanks to his experience and ability to learn quickly and adapt to any sort of music require- ment, he progressively climbed the ladder and accessed hi- gher levels of responsibility. Among his most remarkable experiences, he held the po- sition of Sound designer at the highly exclusive “Ultra- violet” restaurant, under the guidance of the renowned French chef Paul Pairet, where he created immersive musical concepts. Since then, Keint now working as a Music Di- rector at the one and only fa- mous “Bar Rouge Shanghai.” EVENTS / FASHION SHOW Nexxus Festival Shanghai - Share the decks with Paul Oakenfold, Dj Falcon, Kshmr & Norman Doray Corona Sunset Festival - Share the decks with Pete Tong, Bakermat & Claptone...
