Part of a wave of talent that’s been rising out of Australia and into Europe in recent years, Melbourne’s Kia knows precisely how to enchant audiences. Behind the decks, she brings not only her sparkling energy but also a personal philosophy that recognises the importance of narrative.

She heads the label Animalia, an imprint that aims to shine a light on the Australian city's burgeoning electronic talents alongside friends and figureheads.
