Karine, a former resident and booking agent at Kyiv’s iconic Closer club, now based in Berlin, continues to share the club’s legacy on a global scale. Her exceptional musicality and an immense experience in mindful listening and dancing throughout the two decades we’ve known Karine, including ten years of working at Closer, have brought her to the position of a truly promising talent on the scene. Her records are a colorful spectrum of deep, minimalist, hypnotic, groovy, and quirky sounds depicting an array of periods and moods spanning multiple genres from house and techno to breakbeat, electro, and more: she would playfully blur the boundaries between genres anyway.

Shakolin is a long-time resident DJ of Closer club With over XX years of playing records and running the record store so loved by the most discerning diggers, it’s no surprise that his knowledge of electronic music will match one of a librarian.

That perfectly shows in Shakolin’s DJ sets abounding in old and new sounds - functional yet never straight-up club music, his records are a journey that’s deep and mystical, groovy and freakish. With exceptional easiness, he weaves them into powerful, punchy, and infectious dance stories.
