Based in the UK and a resident at Natural Selection, EKATA carves out sonic worlds that are defined by a dark, sci-fi force and a cinematic vision of Electro, Techno, Acid & EBM.<\/p>\n

With releases on AVOIDANT (Soma Records) and a growing catalogue of electro-focused releases that underline her sharp, machine-driven sound, her output continues to reinforce a clear and uncompromising artistic identity within the underground.<\/p>\n

Her journey has included memorable sets at legendary venues such as TRESOR, FOLD, UNFOLD, E1, Shambala Festival, About:Blank, Kilom\u00e9tre25, Fanzine Festival and Loone, steadily cementing a distinct presence within the dark worlds that she orbits.<\/p>\n

Her work has resonated with visionary names in the electro world, earning praise and support from influential figures like Anthony Rother, Umwelt, The Advent, Andrea Parker, and Plant43 to name a few.<\/p>\n

EKATA forges a sound steeped in dystopian atmospheres and mechanical intensity, where metallic textures and industrial rhythms collide with raw emotional depth – crafting immersive sonic landscapes that are as evocative as they are propulsive. <\/p>\n

Whilst being heavily influenced by Detroit, her performances reflect a commitment to authenticity. she’s a dedicated selector with sharp instincts and a fearless, uncompromising artistic vision. EKATA delivers sets that are powerful, transportive, and deeply resonant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
