Kia

When Kia made a Nous’klaer Radio mix for us six years ago we described it as Intensely chill hypnotic vibes coming from Melbourne. And now, six years on, we can conclude that few DJs are as consistent in providing such high quality on the dancefloor as her. Not only through her DJ mixes, but also through her label Animalia – and let’s not forget her own music: we had the honour of releasing her track Blue Rain in 2021 on that year’s summer sampler.
