About this episode

Kara Okay discusses his music style and production techniques ahead of his summer gigs.

Kara Okay is all about serving up sonic treats that bring joy. Importantly, though, the Dutchman knows you can have too much of a good thing, so he has learned to balance the ups with the downs, the light with the dark. The self-confessed optimist pulls his pianos, vocals and rushes of euphoria from across a spectrum of house, trance and garage, often with hints of 90s nostalgia, and can count the likes of DJ Heartstring and Marlon Hofstad as fans. His own productions are often the high points of his sets, and are something he really managed to focus on after a knee injury kept him at home more often than he'd have liked. Ahead of a busy summer of gigs across Europe and ahead of him joining us in Croatia in mid-July, he has served up set full of unreleased gems and also shared some of his feelings about studio gear, mixing techniques and how he packs his USBs. >>> FOLLOW KARA OKAY >>> @Kara-Okay >>> FOLLOW US >>> Soundcloud - @terminalvfest Facebook - www.facebook.com/terminalvfest/ Instagram - www.instagram.com/terminalvfest/ Twitter / X - X.com/TerminalVFest --------------------------- Terminal V 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Croatia 2026…
