From Amsterdam’s fertile underground to techno temples around the world, KI/KI is at the forefront of a new rave resurrection. Shaped by the time-tried fundamentals of trance, acid and techno, she subtly constructs her own signature: a sound realm that’s fast but dreamlike, futuristic but nostalgic, severe but – at all times – euphoric.
Starting out as a resident DJ at queer stronghold Spielraum back in 2018, KI/KI has rapidly evolved into a nightlife bastion of her own. In the past years she’s made a mark with unforgettable all-nighters, curating her own ‘KI/KI invites’ series, upsurging Boiler Room views, and striking dance floors from Berghain to Bassiani, from Awakenings to Pitch Music & Arts.
As an artist, collaboration and community are essential to KI/KI’s craft. While festival stages and warehouses have become her second home, her heart still beats the loudest for the dark and intimate fringes of nightlife. Beyond music, this artistry bleeds into all forms of collaboration; resulting in, among others, her ‘not for sleeping’ project with Amsterdam fashion collective The New Originals.
In 2022, KI/KI established the label slash: a platform that unites the buried treasures of her musical heroes, the work of like-minded emerging producers and – not to forget – her own releases. With production taking up a bigger and bigger role in her artistry, KI/KI revealed her first live show in the summer of ’22 as the official closing of Draaimolen Festival.

There are places with a soul of their own, where you can tell decisions are made with purpose. But it's quite rare to find them, and even less so in a city as sweeping as London. Located in the Wapping district, E1 has been the crowning jewel of nightlife in the English city since 2017, with an earned reputation as the ultimate haven for nightlife lovers and potential second home for those who step foot inside.
With two distinct booths, the London nightclub (formerly a photography studio) has welcomed and still welcomes the finest global acts, making it an essential stop for any devoted to electronic music. But it does not only target the big players, as it has the vision to identify the very best of the emerging. The room has a capacity of 1,600 people divided between Warehouse, the main space with bare concrete walls and large pillars, and Black Studio, for the intimate vibes.
Although mainly focused on delivering hard techno and house music, at E1 you can find melodic, drum and bass and even hip-hop nights. Always with extended opening hours and a programme full of renowned DJs, capable of rivaling the most prominent clubs in the capital.
Within its warehouse vibes, you’ll encounter the very essence of the music we love: open-mindedness, diversity, passion and unwavering commitment. But don't let yourself be carried away by the energy alone, because its Custom Funktion-One sound and State-of-the-art AV/Production will make you end up with your feet hurting from dancing. Stop the nonsense and come experience the pure nightlife in London at E1.
