Opis
Few artists in contemporary electronic music think about feeling the way Sofia Kourtesis does. In this longform conversation with !K7, she unpacks what it means to curate a DJ-Kicks mix built around emotional honesty rather than genre and why that philosophy runs through everything from her Funkhaus years to her debut album Madres to her new collaboration with Novalima.
She opens up about the loss of her mother, how grief reshaped the way she hears music, and why she believes fragility is a form of strength. She also shares her ideal Peru-meets-Berlin lineup, the DJ-Kicks entry that first changed how she listened to music, and the moment she went from participator to curator.
