St Andrews' nightlife is buzzing with a new pulse thanks to Kairo, an Afrohouse event that is quickly setting a new standard for music events in this quaint university town. Kairo, an Afrohouse event infused with the spirit of Keinemusik, has swiftly carved out a niche for itself, enchanting attendees with its electrifying ambiance and innovative approach to entertainment. With three events already under its belt, Kairo has proven to be a beacon of creativity and a harbinger of the vibrant rhythms of Afrohouse on campus.

The hallmark of Kairo events is undoubtedly the mesmerizing use of Kairo’s signature lighting, a spectacle of bright orange and red hues, warm candle-light and smoke effects that has become quintessential of the brand. The blend of light and music creates an engaging environment for attendees, distinguishing Kairo from other music events in St Andrews.

Understanding the needs of its diverse audience, Kairo offers a dedicated friends and family section, equipped with wristbands and situated in prime viewing location behind the DJ and on a lifted platform. This thoughtful arrangement underscores Kairo's commitment to providing a comfortable and memorable experience for all its attendees.

Kairo has undeniably transformed the music event scene in St Andrews, introducing a fresh, vibrant energy that resonates deeply with its audience. But this breakthrough doesn’t come without a price. Kairo haven’t been welcomed by all warmly into the St Andrews music community. As Kairo made its mark on St Andrews' music scene, its rapid ascent didn't go unnoticed or unchallenged by some of the existing collectives. Amid the tight-knit community, Kairo's innovative approach quickly set a new benchmark, inadvertently sparking a wave of emulation among its peers. The issue of creative borrowing became a contentious topic, as collectives were observed closely for any overlap in event design or DJ selections.

For us students and event-goers, this competition is good. Events such as Kairo are now going above and beyond to deliver unique, novel and memorable events on campus, tapping into different music genres, cultures and demographics.

As Kairo continues to evolve, it’s assisting the launch of a new venture, Baja—a fusion of Afro-Latin music that promises to be yet another exciting addition to St Andrews' cultural tapestry. With Kairo's proven track record of innovation, Baja is poised to be a standout event, further cementing Kairo's status as a pioneer in the St Andrews music event industry.

In summary, Kairo with its blend of captivating lights, exclusive spaces, and immaculate atmosphere makes it a new-found staple of St Andrews' nightlife. As we look forward to more events from Kairo, one thing is clear: the future of music events in St Andrews is bright, vibrant, and utterly transformative.
