Hailing from London and currently based in Leeds, Kessie is rapidly gaining recognition for her playful yet deeply considered DJ sets, with a taste for the groovy, intricate, and hypnotic built on syncopated melodies. She has become one of the most compelling selectors to emerge from the north of England's thriving underground electronic scene.
Wearing hearing aids since the age of four has profoundly shaped her relationship with music, something that is unmistakably evident in her metallic track selections and mixing style. Her obsession with all things weird and wonderful drives her to continuously refine her signature sound, always chasing a unique dancefloor experience. Blistering kicks and atonal synths are her key building blocks, paired with beats that lean towards the looping and cerebral.
Kessie holds two residencies: Leeds queer club night Love Muscle, and London techno collective Structure, keeping things fresh by remaining rooted in the communities around her. She is also one of the co-founders of NARR Radio, a platform that has become an important part of Leeds' independent music broadcasting landscape, reflecting her commitment to nurturing culture beyond the booth.
Her approach has earned her bookings at some of the most respected venues in European club culture, including Berghain, Junction2, Fold, Perron, and The White Hotel, alongside some of the biggest names in electronic music. Raw, cathartic, and fiercely original, Kessie is an artist with a distinct voice, and a dancefloor presence that is impossible to ignore.
