Kia & Verraco

Verraco is the Medellín artist reshaping global club music. The TraTraTrax co-founder flips Latinx rhythms into futuristic club mutations that are equal parts chaos and control. His releases reconfigure IDM precision, dembow heat and techno intensity into a sound that defies categorisation but keeps a human heart, and he has made his mark on Dekmantel dancers before. Kia, from Australia, runs Animalia and Cirrus and has a deep, hypnotic sound that drips with psychedelia and emotional pull, whether playing through a sunrise haze or in basement heat. Together, the two pair Verraco's rhythmic mutations with Kia's slow-burning depth in a back-to-back that moves between both worlds.
