their own biography
the whole biography
Kirsten Azan, baptized Bambii, is one of Canada’s most compelling DJs. Whether online or on dancefloors, her political and musical vernacular give credence to dance music’s ever expanding reach, the relationships it helps forge between individuals, cultures and spaces. As proof, she has spent the last few years touring Europe and Asia as a solo artist and on support for some of the world’s most relevant artists - Mykki Blanco, Kelela, and BbyMutha, to name just a few. She's a reoccurring name across European venues like Paris’ Afropunk and Germany’s Open Source Festival. On this side of the Atlantic, her event series ‘JERK’ has made stops in Halifax, Los Angeles, New York and Montreal building on the success of the event’s 7th year of existence in hometown Toronto. Publications are also keeping afloat - Wonderland, VOGUE, CRACK, DUMMY and DAZED all want a piece - and awaiting her debut EP, set to hit the internet before the year closes.Their RA profile lists Innovative Leisure Records.often with Black Rave Culture, Andre Power, Nino Brown, none of them here that night

Kikelomo's eclectic sound stems from many influences in her life, including her home city London and her Nigerian roots. As a result, her high energy sets are packed full of everything from techno, house, garage, bass, deconstructed club, house, jungle, jersey club , electro, hip hop and more. This sound has become renowned for its ability to get crowds moving. Since starting out in September 2017, Kikelomo has experienced an explosive growth, playing across multiple continents alongside industry heavyweights, from Objekt to DJ Stingray to Skepta. She has launched t-shirts in collaboration with Adidas and Keep Hush, played and regularly hosts at Boiler Room, as well as continuing to showcase her sound at events like Splash! Festival, the infamous Fusion Festival, opening the internationally renowned CTM Festival at Berlin’s prestigious Berghain/Panorama Bar, in addition to being given the honour of playing to a crowd of 100,000+ people at the Brandenburger Tor national monument, broadcast on national television to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Kikelomo is actively involved with broader initiatives pushing for diversity and inclusion in the music industry, co-chairing the D&I workstream for the Association for Electronic Music.Recently at Beach Neukölln, Berghain, OHM · often with Berghain, Virginia, Steffi, none of them here that night

SILVASURFER is a Berlin-based DJ with Brazilian and German roots, known for high-energy sets that bring the sounds of Brazil to dancefloors worldwide. Growing up between cultures, she developed a deep connection to music from an early age, with Baile Funk—shaped by the street parties she attended as a teenager in Brazil—at the core of her sound today. Her sets focus on different styles of Baile Funk, from Mandelão and Bruxaria to Carioca, while occasionally exploring other genres like Grime or Club. In doing so, she showcases the richness of Brazilian production and spotlights emerging artists and fresh sounds. On stage, her presence creates an intensity that keeps crowds moving and engaged. SILVASURFER performs at events across Europe, strengthening the funk scene and the Brazilian diaspora abroad. In Brazil, she has appeared at standout events in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, contributing to the vibrancy of the local scene while building bridges between continents. Alongside her work as a DJ, SILVASURFER also explores visual and audiovisual art, expanding her creative practice beyond the booth.Recently at Badehaus Berlin, OXI, Acud Macht NEU · often with N3LYSTAR, HELLCAZ, auto_timer, none of them here that night
