  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.
