Siberian DJ heads to Joburg

The multi-faceted artist is well known for incorporating live vocals into her DJ sets, and has become one of the most prominent and productive women DJs in the world.

With a passion for house and techno that dates back to her days as a journalist, Kraviz showcases her first love, Chicago house and Detroit techno, by digging deep into the archives of these genres to create a tapestry of past, present and future sounds.

Event organiser Juaan Ferreira said that her deep, stripped back sound and “uncompromising attitude” created an insatiable demand for her sets, and an equally demanding tour schedule that has seen her play at some of the world’s top festivals.

Kraviz also secured a much-coveted residency at Richie Hawtin’s Enter project at Space in Ibiza.

“[For] seven years, we’ve [brought] the Godskitchen brand to the South African market, with some of the biggest names in electronic music. This platform has certainly been successful, but now has little difference to the multitude of large dance music-based events that are pouring into the local scene,” said Ferreira.

He said that the introduction of the Future Gods shows freed them up to push boundaries and entertain an “edgier, more underground” crowd.

“Kraviz, in this respect, is perfect. We have no doubt she will serve up a no holds barred set of music, delivered with the kind of attitude that has made her one of the most fiercely debated DJs/producers of the underground dance music movement,” he said.

Kraviz, supported by Killer Robot and Coco Loco, will play on 5 April at Club And at the Alexander Theatre, 36 Stiemens Street, Braamfontein.
