EPiKA:
Kessie
ona:v
Hailing from London and currently based in Leeds, Kessie is quickly gaining world-wide recognition for her playful DJ sets and a taste for the groovy and the intricate.
Wearing hearing aids since the age of 4 has heavily influenced her relationship with music, evident in her metallic track selections and mixing style. Kessie’s obsession with all things weird and wonderful inspires her to continuously refine her signature sound aiming for a unique dancefloor experience. Blistering kicks and atonal synths are the key building blocks, paired with beats that often lean towards the looping and cerebral.
She also adjusts the tempo and lays down head-twisting EBM, post punk and ambient, bridging the gap between futurism and machine funk. This approach has landed her bookings at Berghain, Junction2, Fold, Perron and The White Hotel alongside the biggest names in electronic music. With a residency at Leeds queer club night Love Muscle, and London’s techno collective, Structure, she keeps things fresh by remaining connected to the communities around her.
