KETIA
ketia is an up-to-no-good rave sweetheart with a keen ear for new and exciting music, alongside a curious, invested approach to community-building within the Lisbon, Berlin and worldwide club scene.
Sonically they are enticed by syncopated drums and twisted rhythms, driven house with groove and breaks filled with emotion and nostalgia, marrying the rave energy of oldschool records with the freshness and excitement of the newest contemporary releases. ketia thrives on genre-bending electric and captivating mixing, connecting it all through vocal-infused journeys that allow for unique storytelling.
Known for their infamous intimate invite-only kit ket events in Lisbon and as one of the glitches behind the label and collective, kaptcha, launching the xenolith series: a compilation series gathering funds for CASA T, a local shelter for trans folx, which was recognised as DJ Mag’s top compilation of the year and Resident Advisor November’s Best Music.
In Berlin, where they reside, they’re deep and sweetly entangled with the modern rituals happening at berlin's queer ambient listening bar kwia. ketia helps hold space for a different way of connecting through high fidelity sound and intimacy outside of the usual club dynamics.
A resident at RAUM and Joyride, having made mixes for Honcho and DISCWOMAN, played Whole Festival, Atonal, Panorama Bar, Lente Kabinet and HORST, and a regular at queer parties and clubs around Europe and beyond like Basement, Lunchbox Candy, Group Therapy and UNFOLD on a never-ending tour, ketia feels very grounded and belonging in the worldwide club happenings.
