Karina (God Particle/ Cymawax/ C&K /Zoo Project/ NORWAY)

With one foot in New York fuelling her creativity and influencing her in the way only New York can, and the other firmly in Berlin, her second home, exposing her to some of the best clubs in the world - Karina is one to watch our for. These two huge influences along with her international upbringing in Norway, Egypt and Poland and her creative multilingual mindset all shine brightly through her music. 
10 years living and working on the famous mediterranean island of Ibiza has seen her involved with some of the biggest promoters in the music industry such as Cocoon Ibiza and Monza. An avid collector and player of all things vinyl, she is also one of the residents and creators of Ibizas most successful weekly open-air party The Zoo Project. Berlin, her second home, exposed her to its raw creativity helping her develop her production skills whilst playing at venues such as Kater Holzig, Kater Blau or Crack Belmer.
Appreciating the fundamentals of raw Chicago and Detroit house music, her trademark style fuses elements of the two smoothly together with the minimalistic, forward thinking deep house that has become synonymous with her sound. Never afraid to stray from her norm and always keen to experiment with something outside of the traditional house/techno paradigm, her vinyl selection is seductive, laid-back and hypnotic while all the time retaining a driving, motivating rhythm.  
Karina although best known for her hypnotic performances at intimate venues, has no problem turning it up a notch with electrifying sets at events such as Kazantip Republic Festival (Ukraine) on the main stage in front of thousands of people. Her ability to mix any vinyl from disco to techno has had her smashing dance floors in many exotic destinations from Cape Town (That's What She Said) to Tijuana (Deck 22). Her prestigious residency at Analog Room in Dubai, her K1 release on Chicago based label ‘God Particle’ and release on “Cymawax’ as well as forthcoming music on the NYC imprint 'Absence Seizure', display both her technical production skills and ability to engage with a live audience.

Karinas first visit to New York resulted in a collaboration between Ibiza's infamous openair The Zoo Project and Brooklyns finest warehouse parties Blk Market. Several years in a row she shared the decks with the likes of Robag Wruhme, Seth Troxler or Daniel Bell just to name a few. Being the first DJ to ever play at legendary Panther Room in New York, Karina has ever since frequently toured North America performing in top notch spots such as Housepitality in San Francisco, Creme de la Creme in Dallas, Smart Bar Chicago, Eaton Hotel in Washington DC. In The Big Apple she's known for her house and techno selection at several venues such as Brooklyn Mirage or Elsewhere to playing disco at smaller Manhattan hangouts like Nublu Classic. 

The C&K project launched together with NYC native Connie Yin at the end of 2018, had the two artists joining forces to play the final month of its existence at the legendary Panther Room in Williamsburg. Confident in their choices, C&K blend a variety of sounds, experimenting with 4/4 beats and unquantified live minimal arrangements. Currently focussing on production C&K is in talks planning a vinyl imprint.

Originating from the same South London borough, Nic and Kaleb’s paths crossed in the mid-90s after Nic was impressed by Kaleb’s regular pirate radio show.

Influenced by garage and the early rave scene, Nic and Kaleb’s blend of house made them favourites of clubbers and promoters alike. And while it all started in London town, it's been Ibiza with its energy, endless parties and a certain club named DC10 that not has only refined their approach but which has played an instrumental role in propelling them onto the international stage.

In 2007 a new party arrived on the white isle and one that Nic & Kaleb have been a fundamental part of. Set in one of the island’s most unique spaces, The Zoo Project has grown into one of the most talked about parties on the island and having been residents from the outset, Nic & Kaleb have held their own amongst the who’s who of the house & techno elite.

Both avid collectors of vinyl, their approach has one foot firmly in the analogue realm, with Nic choosing to keep his selection vinyl only, leaving Kaleb room to experiment with a digital set up that possesses less limits. This combination of classic and forward thinking is one that gives their sound depth and an authenticity, a trait echoed in their production work.

Launching their Kameleon project in early 2012 with good friends Simon ‘Vicious Circle’ Vice and Jamie Funk , Nic & Kaleb have created an outlet to express themselves away from DJ booth. The quartet’s debut release won them plaudits across the board and with forthcoming releases doing damage for a select crop of DJs who have a copy, it’s safe to say Nic & Kaleb’s ear for quality stretches further than just behind the decks.

Having played some of the world’s most revered clubs - Fabric, Space and Cocoon to name just a few - a residency at one of Ibiza’s go-to-parties, and a blossoming production career, Nic & Kaleb’s journey is firmly underway but only really just getting started.
