HNYPOT 370: Keenan Orr's Dee in the Bee Mix

“House is a feeling, a community, and a celebration of life.” For DJ, producer, and visual artist 
Kléo aka Clélia Zida, House music is a guiding light. French-born and Amsterdam-based, her love affair with the genre began two decades ago. Schooled by vinyl’s technicalities, her sets span the full spectrum of House. Honouring the legacy of the holy trinity of dance music cities—Chicago, New York, and Detroit—rooted in the Black lineage of Disco, Funk, Soul and Jazz. Kléo embraces the essence of House culture as a movement of resilience, built on the belief that music and dance can dismantle barriers and heal communities. She leads every dancefloor from the heart, with emotion, energy, and togetherness at its core.

In her seamless mixes, the mood effortlessly shifts—from stripped-down, raw, and unapologetic jacking grooves to warmer percussive layers and vocal-driven energy with emotional resonance, then deeper into a cerebral aesthetic rich with synthesizer textures and soulful, machine-driven rhythms. Kléo celebrates the heritage of House while constantly digging for modern cuts, balancing the past and present with effortless sophistication. 
Kléo embodies the essence of being here—now, fully present in the music, guiding the dancefloor with spontaneity and poise through moments of ecstatic release and deep, immersive flow—one lifting you higher, the other pulling you deeper.

In recent years, Kléo has expanded her artistry beyond DJing to music producer, record label owner, and  event promoter. In early 2024, she launched her label Call 4 Rhythm, debuting with her first self-produced single, Agogo. True to the spirit of her DJ sets, the release is an invitation to let go and dial in. Across Agogo and her upcoming second release, Acid Coolada, Kléo reaffirms her commitment to House music’s ethos, blending squelchy TB-303 acid licks, jazz-tinged chords, interstellar synths, and sleek, soulful drum machines. The result is both rugged and authentic—a dancefloor affair infused with the spirit of honesty, the foundation of all her artistic endeavours.

At the end of 2024, she launched the Call 4 Rhythm party series, a natural extension of her vision. “Call 4 Rhythm is committed to creating a home where everyone feels safe, valued, and free to be their authentic selves. Here, we foster love, respect, and unity—because together, we thrive.”
 In an era where inclusivity in club culture is more vital than ever, her mission is clear: advocating for love and acceptance by creating spaces where people feel seen, respected, and empowered. 

Beyond the dancefloor, Kléo is a core member of the Rush Hour store crew and a resident on Kiosk Radio, where she hosts In-House, a monthly show dedicated to her current selections.

Though her roots may lie in intimate dancefloors, Kléo is no stranger to big stages. She has graced iconic clubs like Panorama Bar, De School, OHM, berlinClub, 20/44, and Peti Kupe, as well as major festivals such as Dekmantel, Selectors, ADE, Lost Village, DGTL, and LOVEFEST. Regardless of the venue, her ethos remains unchanged: connection with the crowd is everything.

As the great Larry Heard once asked, “Can you feel it?” When Kléo is at the decks, the answer is always a resounding yes.
