[edit] Latino Musicians

If he's a US citizen of Central American ancestry, shouldn't he be included in some Latino musicians category?

There is no mention of the movie Party Monster or the book Disco Bloodbath by James St.James. The book and movie are pretty much the only reason anyone would have any interest in Kioki, he certianly hasn't made any mixes which have drawn so much attention.

The above anonymous poster (who cannot even be bothered/have enough knowledge to spell Keoki's name correctly) is wrong. Anyone familiar with the DJ or electronic music scene in the late 90s would be very familiar with him. I have been a fan for many years without knowing of these things, and his albums have been famously stocked in every American record store I have visited, from rural Georgia to Los Angeles to various stores here in Japan. His mix albums have not had nearly as much success as his original albums (which are widely praised, especially "Ego Trip"), and his music has been used everywhere from major motion pictures to an episode of "The Simpsons". The single "Caterpillar" alone has probably reached more ears than most techno artists would dream of reaching in an entire career.

About the article itself, the facts that the article focuses on his personal life rather than the huge influence of his music (as the above poster seems to insinuate as the case) and is so short and of poor quality are disappointing. I might try to get some research scrapped together and fix this one. I mean, even his short biography in the movie "Better Living Through Circuitry" is much more informative and unbiased than this.

[edit] Techno? hell no! Break beats!

Keoki certinaly is not a "techno musician." Who uses that term anyway? Techno is a sub genera of Electronic Dance Music (EDM), or Electronica (if one uses the RIAA's terminologies). Keoki is a EDM producer. To be more specific one could call him a break beat trance producer (as that is his usual genera). Techno is flat out incorrect and refers to a totaly different genera.

References on these nicknames? Some seem real, the rest seem so lame that I figue only the author of this article could of thought of them.

Also, why the mini bio about Alig in an article about Keoki?

Finally, I found it kinda weird that this exact article can be seen from: http://www.recipeland.com:8080/facts/Keoki

Aside from that Disogrophy, Club Residencies and Influnces would be a lot more useful / interesting.
