Jaaaauuu! I have absolute no words for this Saturday morning sunrise (06.08.22 // 04:00-07:00) in Juicy.

Thank you for every one who stayed dancing even waiting for the storm that never came. Family vibes, thank you @tiagooudman for handling me the booth in such a high energy and thank you Juicys for the invitation and for always having my back. I love this family. 

Thank you Garbicz for always welcoming me in the sweetest way and letting me be part of this beautiful ground and circle. And of course thank you to all the music producers for sharing their tracks and everyone that made this festival possible.

2022 is being the year that I learned to play faster and rediscovered the deep raver that was sleeping for some time. I left all the mistakes present in the recording: the moment that the fader stopped working because of the dust, the moment where I wanted to sing and I got loads of feedback and unexpected effects - booth was so full that people pressed the buttons from the effect machine hahaha - it's is part of the fun. I hope this recording reflects the energy that we shared in these three hours. 

Juicy hugs in everyone <3

Kotoe @ Juicy Bar - Garbicz Festival 2022

Booking: isabel@stilvortalent.de


Kotoe makes you want to move — think disco, feel acid, breathe tropicali. These genres and tempos reflect her beginnings playing booty-body shake with VoodooHop to where she is right now: at the centre of the European dance riot with its clubs of deep beats, mood-encrusted vibes, and nooks and crannies where you can play with anything from lovers to politics between moments inside the music. In this world, Kotoe forged a career of being unafraid to challenge what many came to expect from the Berlin club scene, making her synonymous with dancers looking for more surprise, more genre-bending, and more movement. The latter comes especially naturally for this Japanese Brazilian gypsy: From the Machi's of Tokyo, the Rua's of Rio, and the Strasse's of Berlin, you can hear her footsteps carved into her sound — blooming with life, stories, and emotion.
