Dokho is the melodic house alias of Belgian producer Franz Hlusek, better known in the trance community as Fast Distance. While his primary project focuses on the high-energy, anthemic sounds of A State of Trance and Armada, Dokho represents a pivot toward the sophisticated, organic-leaning deep house sound popularized by labels like Anjunadeep and Colorize.
This transition demonstrates a mastery of tension and release, moving away from the peak-time crescendos of trance toward a more sustained, atmospheric 'groove' aesthetic. His work is characterized by intricate synth programming, often utilizing plucked arpeggios that mimic organic instruments, layered over clean, side-chained percussion. Critically, Dokho is positioned within the 'New School' of melodic house, alongside peers like Klur and Kaiyan, prioritizing emotional resonance and high-fidelity sound design. His presence on major festival stages like Tomorrowland's Greenfields highlights his ability to bridge the gap between underground deep house sensibilities and mainstream electronic appeal.
