As far as hot commodities in Honolulu clubland, DJ KT is certainly one of them.

From designing the entire DJ set-up at Fashion 45 to helping introduce Bonsai Restaurant and Lounge as one of the new dominating forces in nightlife, KT has a knack for raising the bar everywhere he goes.

“I’ve been spinning for 19 years and haven’t been bored,” he said. “The music is always changing and there is so much music to experience. Plus the technology is always advancing.”

He used such technological advances to become one of the first wheel-of-steelers in town to incorporate music videos into his DJ sets.

“What makes you stand out as a DJ is not the music you play, but the music that you play that other DJs don’t play,” he said. “All DJs know the current hits, so it’s up to you to find new hits or spin old classics to get the dance floor banging.”

While times have changed since his first club gig at Blue Zebra in 1993, his pride and dedication for his craft will always remain sky high.

Funktastic Tuesdays and Shine Saturdays, Bonsai Restaurant and Lounge, 500 Ala Moana Blvd., Restaurant Row, $10, 21+, 525-508010pm, Tuesdays, Fridays, Da Bomb Mix Show 102.7 FM
