Biography

She started in 2018 as a resident at Spielraum, a queer party in Amsterdam. All-nighters, her own "KI/KI invites" series and Boiler Room broadcasts spread her name, and she has played from Berghain to Awakenings. In 2022 she launched her own label, slash.[1]

In 2025 she closed the Alpha stage at Lowlands in the Netherlands b2b with Job Jobse, and sold 20,000 tickets within two hours for a b2b with Marlon Hoffstadt in Belgium. At ADE the same year she played b2b with Armin van Buuren at AMF in the Johan Cruijff ArenA.[2][3]

At ADE in October 2026 she played "KI/KI 5 HOURS", a five-hour solo show at the Ziggo Dome. A second night was added after the announcement.[2][4]

Sound

Insomniac describes her sound, built on trance, acid and techno, as "fast but dreamlike, futuristic but nostalgic, severe but – at all times – euphoric". ADE points to long sets in which tempo, tension and energy keep evolving as the signature of her DJing.[1][2]
