Sound Metaphors Mix Series 23 : Heap

It's no secret anymore that Vienna's musical underground is bursting with talent and skilled artists and that many of the city dance music scene's interesting figures regularly play at Blitz. Katia Curie is one of them. Blitzcast 018 is a great place to start when getting into the Kyiv born selector, who's also one of the driving forces behind Vienna's > Sonic Resistance <. 

What can you expect? Let's hear what Katia has to say...

> When selecting the tracks, it was particularly important to me to get the listener into a certain rhythmic hypnosis that is maintained throughout the mix as it changes from one mood to another. I also wanted to show a different, dynamic, groovy side of my selection, which makes this mix different from my others. It's a vinyl-only mix consisting mainly of progressive house and techno records from the late 90s and early 2000s. At the same time, one of the recorded tracks was recently released on the Kyiv label Tancido, after the full scale war had started. I am totally in love with this one and it has a particularly important aspect for me, considering my Ukrainian origin. <

Katia Curie & Nizar Sarakbi live @ Lighthouse Festival 2025, Croatia

A8-podcast #9 comes from Vienna-based selecta Alice. Known for her distinct ear & commitment to unearth the unheard, she is deeply rooted in the local scene and surely one of Viennas most exciting talents. A talent we have experienced in numerous in-store sessions, streams, open-airs, festival hostings & dayraves. We are very happy to have you contributing to our series, Vicky, especially since it’s your very first recording in the world wide web. Onwards & upwards.

Katia Curie takes over for the next Off-Kilter submission. This one very in line with all things Off-Kilter - rolling grooves, tough kicks and warpy electronics weaved together with pin point precision. HOT TIP!

//

Originally from Kyiv and now based in Vienna, Katia is one of the most exciting up-and-coming DJs and producers of the moment, with a rich musical background rooted in classical training and shaped by years in Ukraine’s underground scene.

Her sets are a journey through deep, rolling rhythms, mysterious textures, and
occasional breaks, blending the raw energy of the ’90s and early 2000s with
a contemporary edge. Moving seamlessly between vinyl and digital, Katia
crafts immersive experiences that reflect her wide-ranging influences and
instinctive connection with the dancefloor.

She is regular at the iconic K41 in Kyiv and part of the Vienna’s Hyperreality
Festival.
