"This mix is inspired by some favourite house tracks, mainly influenced by the Chicago and Detroit sound. I started selecting tracks for the mix on a flight from London to my hometown Chicago, and there's an influence from both cities in the track list. I think one of the most powerful things about music is that it's open to everyone's interpretation. The same track takes people on a completely different journey and means something unique. A great song has the power to stop time, or take you back to relive a memory, instantly. Hope you enjoy the mix!" Kate Simko.

i-D Podcast Kate Simko : House Music To… Transport You

Recorded at H0l0, NYC, March 16, 2024.
Live setup::
Roland SE-02 analog synth, Roland JU-06A, MFB-522 drum machine (808 emulator), Pioneer DJM-V10 mixer, and Ableton live.

Live at H0l0 NYC March 2024

As one of the longest standing independent record labels in the US, New-York based Nervous Records has released music from many of the legendary producers in dance music, including Todd Edwards, Masters At Work, Armand Van Helden, Todd Terry, Junior Sanchez, Frankie Knuckles, Kerri Chandler and David Morales.

Inspired by uplifting house music at underground raves in a freezing, grey Chicago, Rise Above brings the feeling of music uniting and bringing us together to celebrate and enjoy life.  

One of American dance music’s most pivotal artists of the past couple decades, Kate Simko combines her Chicago roots with her background in piano and London life influences. Kate was welcomed into the dance music scene via the Ghostly /Spectral Sound label alongside Matthew Dear, Ryan Elliot, Seth Troxler, Lee Curtiss, and Benoit & Sergio. Since then her catalogue has grown to include releases on Get Physical, Hello?Repeat, The Vinyl Factory, Leftroom, No.19, and Sasha’s Last Night On Earth imprint, as well as film scores on LA-based Lakeshore Records.  Whether remixing Philip Glass to Guy Gerber, writing for her ensemble London Electronic Orchestra, or co-writing an album with Jamie Jones, Kate’s passion for electronic music shines through. Named one of Chicago’s “Top 10 DJs” by XLR8R Magazine, Kate has performed as a DJ and live act at venues like Berghain, Panorama Bar, Warung, fabric, the Montreal Jazz Festival, Movement Detroit, MUTEK, and Eleven in Tokyo.   Kate began DJing on WNUR radio in Chicago in the early 2000’s where she began with a vinyl-only show.  Her main influences as a DJ are Chicago and Detroit heritage, mixed with other raw, jackin’ and cutting tracks from across the globe.

Kate Simko drops her first original EP since 2020 on Definitive Recordings with 'Royston's Walk’.
﻿
Classically trained composer and DJ/producer Kate Simko is back with a bang. Raised in the home of house, Chicago, and now living in the musical melting pot that is London, Simko’s sound is an artful blend of electronic and live instruments with classical, jazz, UK and US dance influences. The result is unexpected grooves built on a strong foundation of house leading the multidisciplinary artist to have releases on the likes of Get Physical, Nervous and Voltaire. After founding the critically acclaimed London Electronic Orchestra (LEO), the instrumentalist and DJ has gone from strength to strength, performing at the likes of Latitude Festival, Bestival, Wonderfruit and more and collaborating with Jamie Jones on the LEO x Katie Simko album in 2018.
﻿
Back with her first original release since 2020, Kate landed in July with Nervous Records release, ‘Rise Above’. Leaving no time to waste, the UK-based musician follows with her two-tracker, ‘Royston’s Walk’, set to land on Definitive Recordings this August. The piano-heavy jacking melodies harken back to her Chicago house roots with licks of modern flavours, solidifying the EP as a future classic.

It's U That I Need

She's Getting Out Out

'Center of Attention' is sculpted with the same organic motion and radiant spectrum of harp and strings that has become London Electronic Orchestra’s signature sound.  Gradually, deeper and more sonorous tones — including the vocals of Canada’s Voytek Korab (of My Favorite Robot) — are introduced, creating an intimate composition intended to be as ominous as wondrous.
