    their own biography

    the whole biography
    In the space of just a few years, KI/KI has emerged as one of the most exciting and influential voices in electronic music. From selling out 20,000 capacity shows and being named a Spotify Global Equal Ambassador, to gracing the cover of DJ Mag during Amsterdam Dance Event, she’s reshaping the global rave landscape on her own terms. The slash in her name – KI/KI – isn’t just a symbol. It’s a mission statement, a meeting point between nostalgia and the new. She made history as the first woman to win the Dutch Edisons Pop Award and sold out her 5 HOURS NYC show – part of her signature extended set series – in just 30 seconds. Her BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix and iconic headline b2b set with Job Jobse that conjured a crowd of 50,000 to the Alpha stage at Lowlands, has further cemented her as a driving presence on both underground and mainstage circuits and with over 1.3 million monthly Spotify listeners, her impact resonates far beyond the dance floor. Her sound is a radiant, hypnotic blend of classic 90s touchstones, shot through with modern energy. From her underground roots as a resident at Amsterdam’s queer bastion Spielraum, she’s since played back-to-back sets with legends like Armin van Buuren, whilst remaining a regular at the techno institutions Berghain, Bassiani and The Bunker New York. As a producer and collaborator, KI/KI’s creative ambition runs just as deep. Known for certified bangers like the acid-laced anthem 5 Mins Of Acid, and the dizzying remix of Felix’s classic ‘Don’t You Want Me’, plus her infectious 2025 take on ‘What’s a girl to do’ from the Dutch legend Fatima Yamaha, her sonic palette is always evolving. And yet, for all the intensity, it’s her joy that resonates most. With an array of new music on the horizon and an international fanbase growing fast, KI/KI continues to expand her universe – always on the edge between extremes, always in motion.

  • THC

    “THC’s sets are kinetic, propulsive in this way.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    THC’s sets are kinetic, propulsive in this way. High-energy without a loss of soul, hard-hitting and still very playful and very gay. We are reminded that techno need not be a gloomy, rumbling march, and that house has a whole range of attitudes at the same time ruthless and smiling. She blazes, to put it simply. ​Having heated Berlin dancefloors and airwaves for a few years, THC is one of the founders and resident at La Noche. She has her own show HOT BOX on Rinse FM, and has released mixes via Crack Magazine, DJ Mag, Fact Mag and NTS. The last year has also seen her playing alongside her sibling DHC as the duo unit S-candalo. Regardless of format, there are always those THC-signatures: punch; euphoria; and streaks of vocal samples intoning the classic dancefloor theme of unity, be it political, sexual, spiritual or some sweaty mixture of it all.

  • TWIENA
