Kristin Velvet
Kristin Velvet is a risk-taker in life and in music. She's an adventurer who embraces her inner impulses and goes wherever the party will take her. Her high-energy selections are designed to help people escape the every day and get lost in the moment. Too groovy to be techno, too hard to be house, she operates in her own in-between world where memorable moments come thick and fast.
Though Kristin has fully broken out in the last years, her journey has roots that go back a decade. In that time she has honed her craft with high-level educations on various fronts: with a seven year residency at Berlin's Watergate where she has learned the art of warming up and closing down for extended periods and myriad different acts. Those lessons mean she is as able now to lock down a heady room full of freaks and misfits at places like Boiler Room and Night Tales in London, Culture Box in Copenhagen or Amnesia and Hi in Ibiza as she is to captivate vast crowds everywhere from Fusion Fesival, Exit Festival and Snowbombing.
The rest of it — three more paragraphs
One thing is for sure, the Australian plays with her own kind of intensity. Her love of the party means she quickly works through the tempos and calls on sounds so colourful and characterful that dance floors forget their woes and lose themselves in the moment. Her love of 90s sounds from Chicago, Detroit and the UK big beat underpin her simple mission to "make people dance, move their bodies and have fun" without overthinking things.
As a producer, Kristin is just as varied and vital. She has released most of her music on Arms & Legs, which she manages alongside Daniel Steinberg. It's a vehicle for the pair to put out what they want, when they want to, all independently and without outside pressures. Her own tracks are defined by a sense of space - space for the kicks to kick, the melodies to catch you and the groove to move you. She has done it all from bouncy to raw, more minimal to jacked up and more recently a stripped-back techno sound for Josh Wink's Ovum including a remix from the boss himself and an EP for Damian Lazarus's Crosstown Rebels which included a collaboration with deep house legend Fred P.
Flying in and out of cities, tearing up the dance floor and leaving sweaty brows and smiling faces in her wake. "Fun" is a word over-serious selectors shy away from, but not Kristin: she is both having it and creating it in equal measure.
