Since their conception in 2021, they have held raves at abandoned buildings, warehouses, and coastlines in and around Tokyo. As a DJ unit, their Boiler Room has reverberated globally, sending cross-cultural ripples.

Kimmah  

Favouring higher tempos, she delivers an energy explosion that gets the sweat dripping down from the ceiling. With regular excursions into dark, funky, and fast electro, breaks, bass, and acid, she matches the grit and sleaze with plenty of bump and grind, for a full body dancefloor workout. With her residencies at Poing Club and Operator Radio in Rotterdam, and as the founder of her platform Scattered Waves, she showcases Asian electronic music and artists from across the globe. She often pays tribute to her heritage by teasing in sounds from the burgeoning scenes right across Vietnam. Born in Utrecht, and based in Rotterdam, she’s picked up ideas and inspirations from every city she’s called home. These environments fused her love for raw electronic music with her interest in spatial design and creating safer club spaces, as she was involved in writing policies to protect the dancefloor experience for dancers and artists. And with her master’s in urbanism and position in Rotterdam’s night council, she has future aspirations to see nightlife become part of the long term urban development plans in Rotterdam and beyond.
