TM8 Q: When did you go to a club or a rave for the first time? 

A: "As soon as I turned 18, I went to the most popular club in my small city wearing a full sequin top, stiletto heels and my little asymmetrical bob. At this point I’ve never heard of techno music before so we were all bopping along to the most popular tracks on the radio at the time and had an absolute blast. It was a very different time for me."

Ukrainian-Australian artist Katia Val delivers TM8 #35, blending breakbeat, acid and lush techno into a potent hour of pleasure. The Paris-based producer and DJ is on a roll at the moment and her experience is mounting at the minute — she’s played at @about-blank-berlin, @etandetsted, @anomalieartclubberlin, Hangar FL and shared milestone mixes for @hoerberlin, @redlightradio, @possessiontechno and @rawppl. When it comes to producing, Katia leans toward several genres, making vibrant tones ripe and ready for a club soundsystem. On her Technomate podcast, Katia shows us what she’s all about in this bright session of psychedelic sounds.

Full interview:

1. Tell us about your musical identity. When did you start Djing and what was your motivation to do it?

I’ve been playing djing since 2019 before Covid pandemic. I always loved to do clubbing, enjoying electronic music with funky, strong beats. However during pandemic the lockdown cut out my amusement not only me but also friends who love to dance. I and my friends started to make our own fun and started to play music by myself. When I played music people danced with me, got happy it gave me a huge thrills. People can just be drunk on music and fall out the moment without any worries. To give them big pleasure I would play my selections. I did and will do give a big fun and unforgettable moment to people who wants to enjoy and express themselves. 


2. What are your influences and preferred styles to play and why?

I would love to play minor key sound tracks. Those sounds make the vibe hypnotic even it has very strong or fast beats. As I mentioned I love to go clubbing and every time I go to various clubs it always gives me different influences. Every city has different vibes. When I visit other cities I always try to go to their local clubs and feel the vibes. I can see and feel the people what they want and how they enjoy. 


3. How do you assess the development of the current Techno-Scene?

There are so many different types of techno genres and each has their own strong sides. Plus many techno djs are coming out to scene and mixed with others. This huge mix develops another huge scene. Whenever I see mixtures I’m so happy and surprise that all types of techno genres can be so delightful and exciting.


4. Do you have any upcoming projects, gigs, or something similar you want to talk about?

Currently I’m based in Berlin and Dresden and sharing musical desires with local artists. However I’m still trying to get many gigs as much as I can in different various cities. I would love to show my taste and selections to who wants to have pleasure and express themselves regardless of gender, tendency or any other values.


5. Is there something else you want to share with the community?

I’m so happy to show me to your community and appreciate for the inviting. I wish I can show me more in the future and share the love.
