    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Hailing from an isolated town in the quiet confines of Bohemia, Tereza K. pursued her love of music and the arts from an early age, playing and singing in bands before moving to Berlin as a teenager. She soon took to DJing and collecting records, and spent most of her time searching for hidden treasures. Her passion and enthusiasm led her to the Killekill label, where she began her career as a producer and DJ. During her time at Killekill she has taken her ever-renewing bag of records all over Europe. Her first track called ”Epilog” was released on Killekill VA. Known for her raw, unpredictable and diverse sets, she has performed at Berghain, Griessmuehle, RSO and ://about blank, to name a few Berlin venues, with standout performances at Fold, London. She made her Boiler Room debut in 2017 for Krake Festival, which was followed by another Boiler Room in Zurich 2021. These sets brought her great recognition. During her time as a founding member of THC Agency, she debuted on a South American tour in 2019. Not to mention her breakthrough performance at HÖR, which has reached over two million views. This performance made it one of the top spots on youtube livestreams. Other noteworthy livestreams were Arte and United we Stream. In 2021, after the release of her track ”Sleeping Paralysis” (which was one of the highlights on HET Records), she accompanied the track with a stunning music video directed by Laura Martinova. She later released her popular debut EP ”Silk Road” [HET Records] with remixes by none other than Matrixxman. 2023 started with the single ”Looking Glass” released on EXHALE and ”Stalker” for Keyi Magazine records. 2024 was followed by two releases on the new rising label SESH (from BCCO), included on ”Fly High” [SESHVA01]. She also released on another rising Berlin name Heisss VA ”Slumber Party” [HEISSVA001]. In the second half of 2024 we can anticipate a full EP plus two more VA releases on very interesting labels, stay tuned! Worldwide: booking@bpitch.de

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    As a lifelong musician, Estro has always explored the visceral aspects of sound. From a young age, her interest in sonics manifested in a boundless desire for experimentation. With a background in jazz music as a trumpet player since childhood, Estro’s experiences with improvisation and performance on the stage found their way to the DJ booth. Her fervent, intense passion for expression and movement finds its way into textural, spine-tingling production and jacking, sweaty, sexy sessions on the dancefloor. Outspoken, driving, and deep, Estro's performances and sets often feel like a manifesto of sorts, rolling and driving tension to its limit and pushing the envelope for New York's musical landscape. Estro's musical explorations have led her to digging through the deep, rich history of techno & house, blending timeless, smashing deep cuts with some of the genre's newest, most novel offerings. Her philosophy of maintaining digging culture leads to an eclectic, potent, and deeply rooted sound, prepared to be pushed into a futuristic and forward-thinking direction. Serene, jazzy, atmospheric selections of deep house, minimal, and dub techno are intertwined with driving, thumping peak-hours techno & trance. Estro uses her ever-expanding knowledge of her selections to captivate the dancefloor and continue to expand the capabilities of sound. As the founder of Orchidance, her new event series and personal project, Estro seeks to take her explorations of dance music and its surrounding culture into a more intentional and inclusive space. She hopes to continue creating a space for serenity and self-discovery, with an eclectic and personal curation of artists and collaborators from her ever-expanding rolodex of talent local and abroad. In the coming years, Estro hopes to continue to expand the capabilities for Orchidance to be a place of rejuvenation, enrichment, and exploration for New York's music community.
