K1

K1, formerly known as KikeONE, is a Mexican DJ and producer who has been a Hardstyle pioneer since 2001. In 2011, he founded his record label K1-Recordz with the goal of promoting his own music as well as that of other artists from Mexico and around the world within the Hard Dance genre. The label currently boasts over 285 releases, and K1 has established himself as an international figure in the scene.

His career includes performances on Mexico’s most important stages, such as EDC México, Dreamfields, Aqua Color Fest, Daydream, and WiSH Outdoor.

Since 2022, he has brought his music to major European stages, with four appearances at DEFQON.1 (Netherlands), including the 25th anniversary edition in 2025, and the 20-year celebration of Tomorrowland in 2024. He has also performed at festivals such as Intents, Decibel Outdoor, WiSH Outdoor (2022, 2025), and Dropzone in Croatia, as well as at the iconic Fabrik club in Madrid during the first two editions of Nexus Festival.

In 2021, alongside his team, he launched Dedikted, an event that by 2023 had become the most important festival dedicated exclusively to Hardstyle and Hardcore in Mexico City.

In addition, K1 has released music on major Hardstyle labels such as Scantraxx, Dirty Workz, and Q-Dance Music.
