Kouni
Biografía
Costanza, known artistically as Kouni, whose Chinese name is "Cardamon Girl," began her DJ career performing across Tuscany and eventually expanding to other Italian locations and Beijing. Born in Pistoia, she moved to Thailand at the age of 17, later to Milan to earn a degree in Architecture, to London to study Chinese, and finally to China to pursue her intercultural exploration through studies and work.
Throughout her journey, she has nurtured her passion for electronic music by attending events to draw inspiration, blending sounds influenced by diverse ethnicities. Upon returning to Italy in 2020, she resumed studying the transverse flute and sang ethnic music with the Agorà Choir in Pistoia. Her love for Asia, where she lived for several years, and the garage and acid sounds she discovered in London, have shaped her eclectic style, connecting house, speed garage, and acid techno.
Kouni has played in major events with the Florence-based Artax collective, opening for guests like Stephan Krus, Sumia, Lee Ann Roberts, Sara Mozzillo, and SPFDJ, experimenting with raw techno. She has performed in several prominent Florentine clubs such as Tenax Club, bringing northern European house sounds, as well as at Babylon Club, XO Club, Fiorino sull’Arno, Play Techno in Pontedera, and clubs in Sardinia and Lake Garda.
Her journey took her to Beijing's Red House and Platea, where she delivered an eclectic musical style as a cultural link between the countries she loves. For Kouni, a lover of arts, culture, and beauty, electronic music transcends linguistic barriers, uniting people. Her dream is to connect music and green spaces, a vision she brings to life daily as a garden architect.
Now resident at Tropical Animals events.
