Secta Sessions is proud to present our second episode featuring a studio mix from our very own resident Kirill Zhan.

Kirill (or ‘KiKi’ as he’s lovingly known as here at Secta) has been involved in some of the best underground parties events and projects, and most recently his own creations ‘A Little Gathering” and ‘Moist Paper Party’.

Kirill came crashing into Secta, quite literarily, bursting through our back door one day and since then he has not only become our resident artist, but an integral part of our daily operations, founding team and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 

His set today captures the early hours vibes of Secta, setting the mood and building tension while keeping an energetic pace. 

Catch Kirill Zhan at Secta on 27/08/22
