Koji Aiken

Koji Aiken is a Japanese-Canadian drum and bass artist redefining the future of bass music in North America, but before he was behind the decks, he was building a platform. Starting as a content creator and the 'DNB Plug,' Koji gained over 140,000 followers across TikTok and Instagram by curating high-quality DnB content, championing underground artists, and building trust as a go-to source for fans of the genre. His following has helped fuel a movement, not just a music project. After years of supporting the scene, Koji made the leap from influencer to artist. Known now for his high-energy productions and emotionally-charged sets, he blends the raw grit of jump-up with the soul of liquid and melodic bass. His music reflects a deep love for rave culture, storytelling, and making people feel seen, free, and unstoppable. Koji has released on respected labels like Riot Records, High Tea Records, PUREFILTH, and Th3rd Brain. His viral remix of Billie Eilish’s Ocean Eyes turned the pop hit into a dreamy liquid anthem, while originals like FAKE and Same Thoughts showcase his balance of heavy basslines and emotion. He’s played major festivals like Electric Love, Jungle Bells, Altitude Festival; made his U.S. debut at Exchange LA; sold out headline shows at Après Après and Coastal Sound Club, etc. He’s also supported legends including Pendulum, ShockOne, Arcando, T&Sugah, Culture Shock, Reaper, AEON:Mode, and Sub Zero. Beyond music, Koji founded KUMO, a promo group pushing bass culture on the Canadian West Coast. Through KUMO and his personal brand, he’s promoted hundreds of tracks, mentored emerging talent, and helped build a thriving community. Rooted in Japanese philosophy, community empowerment, and a bold DIY spirit, Koji Aiken isn’t just another artist; he’s a movement in motion.
