No, seriously: “Detroit” was the first EP ever created by Marcos Benedetti, the young man from São Paulo whose dream of becoming an architect gave way to another dream, consisting on architecting quality electronic music under the creative alias “Volkoder”.
“Detroit” hit the Bull's eye, charted by artists from the likes of Jamie Jones, and played all over the world by Lee Foss, Catz’n Dogz, Sandy Rivera, Patrick Topping, Tube & Berger and many others. Not bad for a first timer.
Following this tremendous success, Volkoder signed with german label Kittball Records, and his unique style led to many invites to work on remixes for musicians who were eager for his fresh touch: Guy Gerber, Kerri Chandler, Dennis Ferrer and Tiger Stripes were some of them.
2014 was a blast: Volkoder signed with massive labels like Toolroom, Suara, Snatch! OFF, Material and Hot Creations, besides releasing his first album. DJs from the likes of Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, Marco Carola, Luciano, Claude VonStroke and Nic Fanciulli have been playing his hot tracks nonstop. No wonder, for they are easily found: the "wonder kid" featured 15 tracks on the Beatport TOP100 in one year, making him one of the best sellers of dance music in 2014. Soon enough everyone wanted to see this diamond in a rough, and the invitations from clubs and festivals throughout Brazil came quickly: Warung, D-Edge, Anzu, Tribaltech and so on. The time has come and Volkoder was ready to show his talent on the decks.
The success was so, that the DJ and musician has been awarded “Best Newcomer DJ” and “ Best Producer/Remixer” on the 2015 RMC Awards, selected by the critics. Such honors only serve as fuel to keep Volkoder busy, building a bigger and better career over the next years.

Musically trained from a young age, Kyle’s foundation has helped him forge a path through the Garage Band generation. Not afraid to step out of his comfort zone, his appreciation for each and every genre of music has given Kyle his unique and eclectic sound – a sound that one would be hard pressed to find anywhere else – and it is because of this that he has secured himself a spot as one of South Africa’s most successful internationally acclaimed dance music producers.
Some of the best and most successful dance producers in the world – top charters like Pleasurekraft, Trickski, Audiojack, Shiba San, Dale Howard, and more – have been supporting Kyle’s music. It is because of this avid support that his music has been released on high profile record labels such as Get Physical, Gruuv and Ultra.
Kyle is a regular guest at Truth, one of the longest running and most respected clubs in the country, and has appeared at Ministry of Sound in London, Mission in Leeds, and more across the UK in cities such as Birmingham, Bristol and Halifax.
His sets are smooth and well balanced, and have evolved into a style of forward thinking house music that borrows from techno, deep house, garage, jacking and tech house.
