In 2015 he was awarded, for the second year in a row, for Best Portuguese DJ at Radio Nova Era’s Best Of Awards.
2016 begun with a collaboration with Hardwell for “Calavera”, a track that reached the number one spot on Beatport!

2018 started with his powerful “Fuego”, a collaboration with Olly James and by the end of May KURA strikes back and surprises everyone with “Lambo”, a track using his own voice to lead the dancing.
Now KURA returns with “Nothing Else Matters”, the song encapsulates both the hi-energy and epic breakdowns KURA is well-known for, but also reminisces on 90’s dance music with an old school vibe that is bound to take you time travelling to glorious days.
The future's so bright he has gotta wear shades!
