There is an artistic approach in every corner of 8Kays’ space, deeply bonded and interconnected with her mature and creative mind.

Shaping and crafting her distinguished sound over the decade, whether it’s either the powerful heavy-infused techno or meaningful sense-related, aetherial and abundant with sound-design elements melodic works, 8Kays strives for freshness in her productions; yet aims to make a difference with her music at the same time.

With the grade of releases on the renowned Afterlife label by Tale Of Us, John Digweed’s Bedrock Records and Berlin-based niche and exemplary underground Watergate imprint, 8Kays firm creative vision looks far to explore new intriguing horizons ahead.

Having played geographically rich tours, which include the biggest notable festivals and clubs along multiple continents worldwide, she is eager to innovate, create and evoke her bursting energy into the sound, which was and remains the main core of 8Kays’ motto and lust to the neverending musical landscapes of her profound artistry.

“Judith van Waterkant was born in the beautiful baltic sea area and crashed into her fathers vinyl collection in a glas vitrine while dancing along with the record "Life is Life" at the tender age of 3. "Nananananaaa"!
Since then she’s not only gained a couple dangerous looking scars, which would be visible if she shaved her head, and gotten prepared to join in with the fights in the streets of Rostock, she’s also kept her deep passion of music with her, always on her mind. At the age of 14, she had a crush on her guitar teacher and has deeply loved music since that time, from every pore of her skin, which became even clearer to her later when she found herself in a massage circle where everybody was humming “Give Peace a Chance” in order to alleviate the difficulties and challenges of puberty. However, no one was supposed to find out about that. “If I die today, I’ll die happy” was her boozy attitude back then. It’s exactly this spirit that the Leipziger-by-choice tried to convey in her so-called Mindset-Sets, in a down-and-mid-beat-comfortzone between 100-115 BPM on the dance-floors of the world or on the couch at home.”
