Ayko

Francesco Dogliani, better known as Ayko, has deep-rooted connection with the digital movement and early passion for all things electronica. A maestro in crafting distinctive sounds, Ayko’s musical journey began in the DJing realm, where he seamlessly blended his prior musical education with influences from 80s/90s British pop and the lively beats of 90s Italian dance music. Francesco swiftly transitioned from intimate gigs in Turin to gracing the stages of iconic underground venues in London and Ibiza. His signature sound is a harmonious fusion of various musical styles, weaving vocal tracks with diverse instrumentals, melodies, and effects. AYKO’s global presence extends to renowned clubs like Space and Sankeys, and he even hosted the celebrated ‘Meganite’ party at Ibiza’s Privilege nightclub. Shifting his focus to production, AYKO has released five EPs and left his mark on Mauro Picotto’s tracks ‘Ayala’ and ‘Fly,’ as well as a collaborative venture, ‘Elisir of Love,’ released on Sony Music. In 2021, AYKO embarked on a new chapter by founding Langhewood Records, his very own record label. This venture has seen the release of numerous original tracks, collaborations with talented singers like Jodie Knight, and remixes from respected DJs, including the likes of Leandro Da Silva. Langhewood Records has become a vibrant platform for emerging artists, solidifying AYKO’s commitment to shaping the evolution of electronic music.
