Insistent, jetpacked, hypnotic, sensual--yet breathtakingly clean--Kate Simko’s beats incorporate elements of Detroit techno and Chicago house, while charting their own exciting path. Minimalism and majesty oddly collide in the classically-trained pianist’s captivating compositions which have earned her a devoted following in the electronic music scene. The trailblazing Simko found a home with Ghostly Records, a happy haven for electronica inventors, and by the end of the '00s, she was one of the most heralded DJs, both in the vibrant Chicago scene and beyond.
