Kylie Exotic

One listing in New York, over the last three years · Dublin

also plays Berlin — 4 nights

Kylie Exotic moves through the electronic underground with the instinct of someone who’s been dancing his whole life. Born in Ireland and raised on hip-hop, breakdance battles, and R&B rhythms, he learned early how music can take control of a body. But it wasn’t until the chaos of teenage nights out and the haze of his first festivals that he discovered the pull of trance, electronic euphoria, and the darker frequencies that would shape him.

Drawn to the magnetic grooves of Jamie Jones, the vinyl finesse of Dyed Soundorom and Apollonia, and the restless pulse of rave culture, his taste sharpened into something unmistakably his own. As he dove deeper into the club world, techno offered what nothing else could: weight, freedom, release. Heavy or melodic, hypnotic or brutal—if it makes the body surrender, he’s listening.

Influenced by unapologetic SoundCloud disruptors like LSDXOXO and Bearcat, Kylie developed an ear for seductive vocal cuts, raw attitude, and tracks that feel like they’re meant for forbidden hours.

The rest of it — two more paragraphs

Berlin didn’t just influence him—it absorbed him. Within the walls of Berghain, the heat of Mala Junta, and the shadows of countless after-hours, he found the energy that fuels his sound. Surrounded by creatives, guided by artists like OnlyFire, and inspired by the relentless pulse of the city, Kylie sharpened his identity as both dancer and selector.

His sets are a slow burn, then a takeover: sexy, hypnotic, high-voltage, and dripping with the kind of attitude that belongs to the night. He plays with tension, releases it without warning, and pulls dancers into a space where nothing exists except sweat, bass, and the feeling of losing yourself a little too much.

One night, and this is who was on it.
