a unique blend of sounds, style, and substance. Khromata first entered this electronic sound world as a teen, when she encountered Goa Trance when growing up in Thailand. Spending years as a dancer and listening attentively at home, she developed a deep understanding both of the musical content that fuels the best tracks as well as what stylistic elements get a dance floor moving and grooving.

She forged her reputation in her current home city of San Francisco both as a performer and organizer, co-creating psytrance events with the production crew Pulse SF since 2012 and additionally throwing her own Khromata Nights events. Currently well into her second decade of DJ’ing, she has brought her broad-spectrum high-energy sets to major US cities like San Francisco, New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Seattle, with her international appearances including Germany, the UK, Denmark, Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Ukraine.
