My how the time does fly when you’re dancing! Here we are at a very special mile marker.
Who would have thought that 5 years ago, one small idea would evolve into such a trend setting phenomena and establish such a significant presence in the music scene, locally as well as outside the STL.
Plenty of blood sweat and tears have been shed along the way to make who we are and what we do shine amongst all the other amazing crews out there.
Being such a creative outlet, providng identity, purpose, a sense of self-worth, a stable environment for wayward DJ’s (lol), and a home away from home for us all. INICIO has drawn in some of the most innovative, stylistic, talented individuals in the Midwest to form the crew you’ve come to know.
The years have indeed been kind to us and it’s been one helluva ride. We are truly blessed to get out as much as we put in to this scene, so thank you for all your continued love and support . We wouldn’t be us without all of you.
If you’ve enjoyed the last 4 years then stick around because the best is yet to come. 2015 INICIO’s coming at you like a freight train, so get on board, sit back and enjoy the ride.
We are super excited to bring our East Coast brotha to come show us some love from DC, Kochi! Some of you may know him and many don’t but we promise you won’t be disappointed!

DJ Kochi has devoted himself to spinning house music for more than a decade. His signature sound of funky style house with clean mixing and smooth transition has earned him many gigs and moved many souls on the dance floor.
Born in Bangladesh, DJ Kochi grew up listening to 70’s and 80’s pop music by tuning into BBC radio. When he moved to the States in 1991, DJ Kochi was exposed to many more styles of music. He then gained an interest in genres such as euro club, trance, techno, jungle, drum and bass, break beats, funky breaks, alternative, grunge, and, of course, house music. In the mid 90’s, DJ Kochi immersed himself in the underground electronic scene by regularly attending dance music festivals and club events. Moved by the electronic music culture, and influenced and inspired by great artists, DJ Kochi quickly gained a deep interest in DJing. In the late 90’s, in his first appearance in front of a live crowd, DJ Kochi won a DJ competition in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This opened the door for him and earned him gigs all over Virginia and in the DC area. It also gave him the opportunity to open for great talents.
Today, DJ Kochi’s music career continues to rise with appearances on radio shows and at many dance scene events. His playlist covers different house sub-genres. In the near future, Dj Kochi looks forward to spending more time remixing some of his favorite tracks and producing funky tunes of his own.
