the whole biography
Karine is an integral part of Kyiv’s Closer club as its resident DJ and booker, now based in Berlin, continues writing the club’s story in Ukraine and worldwide. Her exceptional musicality and an immense experience in mindful listening and dancing throughout the two decades we’ve known Karine, including ten years of working at Closer, have brought her to the position of a truly promising talent on the scene. Her records are a colourful spectrum of deep, minimalist, hypnotic, groovy, and quirky sounds depicting an array of periods and moods spanning multiple genres from house and techno to breakbeat, electro, and more: she would playfully blur the boundaries between genres anyway.Recently at Berghain, Hoppetosse, OST · often with J. Richards, XDB, dj sweet6teen, none of them here that night
“Shakolin is a long-time resident DJ of Closer in Kyiv.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Shakolin is a long-time resident DJ of Closer in Kyiv. Since his relocation to Berlin, he has opened a new chapter in his sonic journey with Delirious, a vinyl-only record label and party series at Panorama Bar, which he co-curates with his artistic and life partner, Karine. After decades of relentless digging and many sleepless nights spent on Discogs, running one of the finest underground record stores, showing an interesting approach to his productions, and bringing a fresh curatorial vision to Delirious, he has become one of the most prominent artists of the Ukrainian scene, widely recognizable worldwide. Music always takes a central place in Andrii’s life and has opened doors to some of the most discerning DJ booths in the world, including Houghton Festival in the UK, Funk in Mexico, Techworld parties in Melbourne, Ring in Seoul, and Dimensions Festival in Croatia, to name just a few. His records are always a journey, mystical and freakish, and we wonder how far he will take us…Their RA profile lists Delirious_Records.Recently at Berghain, OST, Haus der Visionäre · often with XDB, J.
