K’s World of Music
The Music Scene in Second Life

I love music.
And I love what happens when music takes over — when it stops being something we hear and becomes something we feel.
Some DJs have a rare sense for that moment.
They guide a crowd, read the room, and build a journey that lifts people out of everyday noise and into a shared state of mind.
When energy flows both ways — from DJ to crowd and back — something special happens.
That is the moment I care about.
This project is dedicated to DJs who create exactly that.
The musical focus of K’s World of Music reflects my own listening range and understanding.
I curate and support music I personally connect with and can genuinely stand behind:
House, Techno, Liquid Drum & Bass, and related subgenres.
This is not about exclusion, but about authenticity.
I can only curate, understand, and meaningfully connect music lovers around sounds I truly know and feel.
Here you will find curated DJ portraits, music links, and selected insights into their work and sound.
DJs appear here because I experienced their music live in Second Life and felt a consistent level of musical awareness, flow, and connection beyond a single set.
At its core, this project exists to connect music lovers. It also functions as an organic orientation and discovery space: listeners can discover DJs and clubs, DJs can find venues that match their sound, and club owners can connect with artists who fit their musical identity.
All connections grow naturally through shared taste, presence, and activity — not through promotion-driven listings or obligations.
Clubs are not ignored — they are supported differently.
Rather than maintaining static club listings, landmarks, or schedules on the blog, club activity is handled primarily through Discord.
This allows club owners and managers to represent their venues directly, keep information current, and manage event communication independently — without delays, outdated details, or ongoing external maintenance.
Clubs appear on the blog naturally through the artists who play there — because strong scenes are built by people, not by places alone.
I do not book DJs.
I do not manage clubs.
I curate, observe, and connect through music.
K’s World of Music is meant as a reference point — a space to discover DJs, follow their paths, and keep meaningful musical work visible beyond single events or fleeting moments.
Music connects us.
Music heals.
Music moves.
And yes — when I need it raw and intense, I will always turn to good techno.
For me, it is not just sound.
It is reset.
It is energy.
It is life.
Hope to see you in Second Life.
K

 

 

Guideline for DJs

K’s World of Music is a curated project.
I feature DJs I have personally listened to in Second Life — artists who actively play in-world and create a musical atmosphere that stays with me beyond a single set.
There is no application process.
DJs appear here because I experienced their music live and perceived a consistent level of musical quality, flow, and connection to the crowd.
This space is not about numbers, reach, promotion, or trends.
It is about:
  • musical presence
  • awareness and flow
  • the ability to create moments through sound
If you find yourself featured here, it means your music spoke for itself.

 

Non-Profit & Independence

K’s World of Music is a non-profit project.
There is:
  • no payment
  • no sponsorship
  • no paid placement
  • no financial agreement with DJs or clubs
Being featured does not represent:
  • a commercial endorsement
  • a booking recommendation
  • a quality seal in a business sense
I do not influence bookings, fees, or visibility.
Any recognition happens naturally through listeners, clubs, and the scene itself — not through me.
This project exists purely out of passion for music and the desire to keep meaningful DJ work visible within the Second Life music scene.

Guideline for Club Owners & Managers

K’s World of Music supports clubs — but does not manage them.
Clubs are an essential part of the Second Life music scene and are valued within this project.
However, club representation follows a different structure than DJ features.
To keep information accurate, flexible, and authentic, club activity is handled primarily through Discord, not through static blog listings.
There is no automatic club listing.
Club owners or managers may contact me directly.
Access to post events and previews is personally unlocked by me, ensuring a respectful and well-maintained environment.
Once unlocked, clubs are free to:
  • present their venue in their own voice
  • post and manage events and previews independently
  • update information in real time without intermediaries
For clarity and discoverability, it is highly recommended that club owners and managers keep their Discord profiles well maintained. Including relevant club links (e.g. in-world location, group, website, or social channels) helps with proper categorization and makes it easier to identify, sort, and reference clubs within the Discord environment.
I do not:
  • manage club schedules
  • maintain landmarks or venue details
  • update club information on behalf of owners
  • act as a promoter, booking agent, or intermediary
Clubs appear on the blog through the artists who play there — because strong scenes are built by people, not by places alone.

In short

  • Blog → DJs, curation, long-term visibility
  • Discord → clubs, events, previews, self-management
  • Listeners → discover DJs and clubs
  • DJs → find matching venues
  • Clubs → connect with suitable artists
  • Me → curator, observer, connector — not a manager

  1. I have been actively spinning for over three years in SL. I have a fixed schedule and nearly 200 mixcloud sets to date. How do I do about getting listed here? Thanks!
