After some time in the music industry under various aliases Kanio smashed his way onto the underground dance music scene in late 2007 with a string of chart topping productions. Widely regarded as the largest download site worldwide, Kanio’s productions have regularly featured in the charts on Beatport. In little more than a year he achieved a massive 5 top tens and a further 7 top 20's, cementing his position on the worldwide scene, and becoming nominated for best minimal artist at the Beatport music awards 2009. Off the back of this swift rise, September 2008 saw the launch of his Novakane imprint, already swiftly following suit in terms of sales success. Besides Novakane, Kanio has signed tracks, and had remixes commissioned to labels such as Traum, Yellow Tail, Autist, Suruba, Stereo Seven Plus, and Italo Business.
