Techno’s original female trailblazer might now be a global superstar, but she’s still as uncompromising as ever

It’s easy to forget that before Nina Kraviz, female superstar DJs simply didn’t exist. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, the Siberian blazed a trail for everyone from Amelie Lens to VTSS with a combination of potent productions, unpredictable DJ sets, and a tonne of female attitude. Electronic music today wouldn’t be the same without her.

 

In recent years her productions have toyed with pop - revealing her offbeat sense of humour - but she’s remained tied to the underground, supporting experimental electronic music and emerging artists via her acclaimed labels трип and GALAXIID. As a DJ, she’s still one of the very best around, using techno as a jump-off for deep, cosmic, and playful sets. You won’t want to miss her - in relatively intimate circumstances - at Sónar Lisboa 2025.
