Career

In the early 2000s, he started following the club scene and by 2005 Kura would play on a DJ booth while working at a skate shop near Lisbon and eventually gigs in Cascais's club Coconuts. His first DJ residency came along and he became Bahaus resident DJ for 3 years. Having to play regularly before a crowd created the emergency for music production – “I needed my own edits. His first bootleg was a hit among his peers – Sydney Samson's "Work It" on Hardwell's remix crossed with Bob Marley followed by his first original track, "Russian Guitar" that was picked up by the Portuguese label, Kaos Records. His name grew as a DJ and he was invited to play as a resident DJ at Lisbon’s Kapital, and then at the summer club, Tamariz, and then to Gossip, a major club in Lisbon. He also focussed on a freelance career, and more invitations to play in bigger venues.

Founded under Murray after the publication of the Taylor Report into safety at football grounds. One of the outcomes of the report required tickets to be sold prior to games. This spurred on many clubs to open call centres to deal with ticket sales and stadium seating arrangements. Murray, the chairman of Rangers F.C at the time, set up the company to deal with these enquiries.

Under Murray they acquired a contact centre company called Thus for £4m in 2004 and a specialist business process software company called Carnegie Information Systems in 2005. Trading under the RHL (Response Handling Ltd) name until in February 2007 it was shortened to Response.
