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.
