Kate discovered techno at a Swarm gig back in 1998 at the infamous 61 Regent Street. Kate fell in love with the scene, the people and most of all, the music – influenced and inspired by the likes of local djs lushpuppy and speakafreaka, Kate was determined to get behind the decks. By 2001, Kate’s hunger for a pair of turntables was so strong that she bought a stack of records, figuring that once the records turned up she’d have to buy the equipment so that she could listen to them! It gave her that extra little push she needed – the following week, she bought a pair of technics and a mixer and after a year of passionate practice, Kate was out playing. Kate’s sound ranges from house to techno, bringing her own take to the techno sound she has the skills and sensitivity to bring dynamism, soul and complexity. Her impeccable mixing skills always augment the mix and never get in the way of the flow. Totally in control of her tools, Kate creates a seamless and unique sound. Never one to be locked into the one groove, playing the same styles, Kate’s eclectic love of a smorgasbord of electronic genres has recently seen Kate turn her hand at funk and hip hop and really anything else that will get the floor moving. Having played alongside her local techno peers, Kate has also gigged with a stack of internationals – a list that reads as a who’s who of the techno scene: Henning Baer; Luis Flores; Delano Smith; Paula Temple; Reeko; Krenzlin; Volte-Face; Headless Horseman; Kr!z; Par Grindvik; Harvey McKay; Audio Injection; Xhin; DJ Pinch; Sebo K; Luca Bacchetti; Marc Houle; Gaiser; Alex Smoke; Matthias Tanzmann; Richie Hawtin; Ben Sims; Chris Liebing; Deetron; Justin Berkovi; Mike Humphries; Ignition Technician; Steve Rachmad; Thomas P Heckmann; Space Djz; Chris Liberator; Thomas Schumacher and Technasia feat. Charles Siegling. Kate is a resident of 4our and also plays at other local Sydney parties such as: Darkroom; IF?; The House of Mince; Charades.
