SETSKIA AT DRAAIMOLENFESTIVAL 2024
Kia has a taste-making ear for digging, sophisticated knack for storytelling and bubbling energy that draws people to her whether she’s backstage, behind the decks or on the dance floor. The DJ and curator wields atmospheric and psychedelic sounds that produce entire pulsating worlds through the speakers and between global connections. As label boss of Animalia and Cirrus, she is a Naarm/Melbourne local who’s one of the influences driving organic, kaleidoscopic shades of electronic music around the world. Behind the decks, she’s a master of playing to her surroundings, in a context-driven connection of time, space and sound. Kia can carry audiences through sunsets, sunrises, dark or sun-drenched moments. Her sets are filled with oddities and curiosities that’s good for the dancers and the chin strokers alike. She can lift listeners along curious sonic tendrils or lead them through swamp-like territories. We selected her set for Draaimolen Festival 2024 as our set of the month.
