🤯❤️‍🔥🎶😭💃🙏 last night was more epic than I could’ve ever imagined!!! Thank you & vielen dank to everyone who helped create the beautiful container and energy in Theater last night, where time stood still, where, despite all the s% #! that’s happening in the world, we could rejoice and dance, and celebrate this crazy life with beautiful music together - even if just for a few moments, minutes or hours. This is why I do what I do. Grateful and honored to be a part of this wonderful event, and to have shared the stage with so many artists who I’ve admired and “fan-girled” since way before I even moved to Berlin or even dreamed that any of this could be possible… 😭

See you on the dance floor soooooon 💕

My set from last weekend at is now online! And tbh I’m still reeling and smiling from this wild ride and journey we went on together 🤓🎢😻💃❤️‍🔥🎶

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you dancers… for your incredible energy and spirit at this unlikely hour 🤯 You almost fooled me into thinking I’m a morning person now 🤪 But for real… this was truly another one for the books!!!

This DJ journey isn’t always an easy one… and I can’t deny that sometimes I wonder why I put myself through it. But then it’s moments like this that remind me why it’s all worth it! ✨

I hope you all enjoy listening to this set as much as I did playing/curating it! I’ve been having suchhhhh a blast digging all sorts of new styles, sounds and genres these days, so I’m quite happy to have been able to play and share so many of these new gems!

People often ask me what kind of music I play… it’s really such a mix.. so you’ll just have to listen and see 😜

Thank you, as always, to all the talented musicians and artists for putting out such geillll music for us DJs to share with the world. Special shout-out to the ones featured in this set:

.sontag .live .live .reuveni .music .it

And, lastly, huge thanks to .berlin for inviting me to play with 🥰 to for the extra support, and to my favorite fanboy and dear friend for keeping the vibes high and silly and weird the whole set!!

PS - Catch me on Sunday for the last taste of summer for a special DIY rave with Berlin’s coolest (and my favorite!) live act - stay tuned for more details!

So much love 💛

Happy Release Day!!! 😻💖🎶🙏💃 My remix of Illich Mujica ⚡️🤘🏽👽🔮🎚✨]’s epic track “The Constant Impermanence” is now up on and all streaming platforms 🥳🎉🙌 Woohoo!

https://open.spotify.com/track/1Xoq8mib4DsFdc6SS2TUy8?si=bb7915d919434403

A little bit dirty, dark, downtempo + tribal, it was such a blast to splash in my own flavor to make this remix for one of my favorite person’s brand new EP out on !!! I can hardly believe I now have my first official release out… and my very own Spotify artist profile 🙀 How cool is this hehe?! Thank you SO much again to Illich Mujica ⚡️🤘🏽👽🔮🎚✨], + for this opportunity + collaboration. And congrats to all (and to for his amazing remix, too!) My inner fangirl is still doing flips 🤸‍♀️

Another thank you to my bae and the ever-so-talented for his support and for helping me bring this tune to life! P.S. keep an ear out for the marimba that’s featured in this track… (this is just one of his many handmade instruments that he also incorporates into his own music 🤓)

I can hardly wait to see what you all think! For those of you who feel called, all shares, streams, likes, downloads + word-of-mouth marketing for this track and EP would be super super appreciated 🙏 Every little bit of support counts and helps us to keep making + bringing more music to your ears and dance floors!

Lastly, gracias to , , , and all the other artists who have supported this remix and EP 🥰🙏✨

Hope to see you all on the dance floor jamming out to this soon 🖤🔥💃😜

I can hardly believe it… but as of Thursday, I am officially a Berliner now!!! 🥹🙏🖤🇩🇪🎶✨

(Ich bin eine Berliner jetzt!!!)

Since first falling in love with Berlin the first time I visited back in 2017, my love for this city has only continued to grow, deepen and intensify over the years. Always curious about the depths of this city and all of the craziness, chaos and creativity that lie within it, it has been a distant dream of mine to one day live here.

Had you told me back in 2017 when I first got rejected from Berghain 😅 and when I first began listening to electronic music, that 5 years later I’d be living and working in Berlin as a DJ, I don’t think I would’ve believed you. I can hardly believe it today 😅🙏😭 But after several months of preparing my 75+ pages of paperwork for my visa appointment, I am so incredibly ecstatic to share that my application was approved to live and work as a freelance artist here in Berlin for the next 3 years!!! 😭 Berlin, you can’t get rid of me now!

My heart is exploding with gratitude for everyone who’s helped me through this visa process and who’s shown so much love and support along the way 🙏 I truly could not be here today without all of you! Danke schön and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Dreams really can come true.

I’ll be “officially” celebrating this very momentous occasion with my first-ever gig at the very own this coming Sunday (10.23) morning alongside some of my favorite Berlin-based artists 🥹✨🤯 Special thanks to for having me 🙏 I hope to see some of y’all there!!! I can hardly wait.

Stay tuned for some other exciting news coming soon! 💖

✌️🖤🎵,
KARLÏ

Still reflecting on the absolute epic-ness that was ’s Burlesquerade Ephemeral Ball last weekend at NYC’s iconic … ✨

A 5-hour celebration full of music, art, performance, dance, glamour + glitz, I am so inspired by the incredibly diverse collective of artists, performers, musicians, dreamers, do-ers, producers and just straight-up badass go-getters that made this event possible!!! Seeing and experiencing New York come together for this very special evening was nothing short of magic… and I am so honored and grateful to have been able to be a part of this!!! 🙏

Featuring an eclectic collection of some of my favorite tracks and artists that touch on the theme of ephemerality, sprinkled with some of my live vocals throughout the set, I’m super excited to share my set from this night with you ❤️

This is a set unlike any I’ve ever played before, so I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I did crafting it ✨

Hats off to Tory Stolper, .cs.kendall, .adventure and the rest of the Lightning Society team for putting on such an incredible event 🎊 This truly was extraordinary!

And so so so much awe, gratitude and admiration for Mujica for his expert curation and mastery of music that made this night all that it was!!! You continue to amaze and inspire me endlessly… and thank you so much for believing in me and supporting me from day one 🥹😭🙏 ILYSM!

Oh, and another round of thank yous to my fabulous friends Costume Closet NYC for helping me look and feel like a wild cat woman rockstar!!!

In just a little under two weeks I will be opening the night 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆]’s Ephemeral Ball: A one-of-a-kind evening that’s bringing together some of NYC’s most talented artists, musicians and performers to explore the theme of ephemerality 💭✨💗

Ephemerality is a word and a concept that I contemplate often. Defined as: “the property of lasting for a very short time,” and/or “an impermanence that suggests the inevitability of ending or dying,” ephemerality, to me, is synonymous with life itself. Evanescent existence.

In this unique one-hour arrival set I will be showcasing a very special soundscape that reflects my interpretation of ephemerality and my complex feelings around it. Curating music from some of my absolute favorite artists across a wide array of genres, musical styles, themes and moods, I am SO honored and excited to take the stage for this iconic event... and I’m even more excited to debut my vocals for the very first time during a DJ set!!! 🎤🎶🫣

Followed by my very dear friend, mentor, and musical shaman who will be curating and directing the music for the rest of the night’s festivities, I can guarantee that this event is not to be missed!

I hope to see you all there!!! If you wanna catch me, be sure to arrive early as I’ll be kicking off the night’s festivities. Make sure to grab tix before they sell out!!! Ticket link in bio 🎟

Thanks a million to 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆] and for making this night possible 🔮 This will be one for the books!

It’s been a dream of mine over the years to headline the Lighting Society Burlesquerade. So when the team approached me with their new theatrical vision to what the next Burlesquerade would become and asked me to become the music director and DJ for their upcoming Ephemeral Ball at the state-of-the-art Theater in Manhattan, I jumped at taking on this new challenge!

Expect an array of creatives performances in which we will break the 4th wall in exploring the concept of Ephemerality. In normal DJ events the performers become secondary to the DJ set. We are already hard at work as a full team on orchestrating a night where the DJ component will become a supportive element to the performers, and one where you, the attendees will be a part of the story as well.

For me, this means not only digging for music far beyond the electronic music realm, but also editing music, and even composing original scores to support the visions of the full creative team and mixing it in real time at the event, in addition to working closely with the set designers, performers and theatrical production crew.

Special opening DJ set by the one and only .musik 🙌🏽

I hope you all can make it

Here’s me on a rainy Sunday in Brooklyn singing my heart out to I Want To Hold Your Hand by The Beatles 🙈💙🎶

It’s been AWHILE since I’ve regularly sang and played the guitar, but I have to say that this truly felt SO good. I forgot how much I missed this part of my life!

Since first starting my DJ career back in 2020 to now learning the ropes of music production, I am so excited to dive even deeper into the world of music while continuing to hone in my most musical, creative and authentic self ✨✨✨

I’ve got lots of exciting things and projects in the works! Stay tuned 🥰🎼👩‍🎤

Playing a little bit of catch up from the other weekend when & I played a b2b sunset set at the epic to celebrate ’ 41st trip around the sun 🤩💃🎶🧡

Surrounded by so much beauty and so much love as our NY-turned-global community danced with us into the starry Oaxacan night, I am filled with so much gratitude, awe and humility 🥲 It’s nights like these that remind me why I do what I do. It’s experiences like these that leave me operating on a whole new vibrational wavelength. Tbh… It’s probably gonna be some time before I’ll be able to fully process the series of events that made this evening so f***ing special 🤯

This night was the perfect example of what absolute MAGIC can look and feel like. From the planning, organizing and production side of things to the stunning space and surroundings that is , to sharing the stage and the night with a few incredibly talented artists who continue to inspire me (and make me completely lose myself and all sense of time to the music), to the most amazing vibes and energy throughout the course of the night… my mind is TRULY blown by the power of community, humanity and the magic that is music that can bring/tie us all together in the most stunning and transcendent of ways.

Thank you for all that you did to make this night everything that it was. I see you. I love you. Thank you Voyta, .io and , and everyone else who went above and beyond to bring this event together. You all continue to amaze me. Thank you for saying yes to the adventure that this was and for the beautiful music and journey (as always!) ❤️ Thank you for the mystical spell you cast upon us… I don’t even know how to explain or understand what happened 😅 but you guys just get it in so many ways… Just YES. And thank you for being the crazy person that you are who dreams up a birthday like this and then actually makes it happen!!! Lastly, thanks to .mx for capturing these amazing moments ✨

I hope to see (and dance with!) some of you at my next show next Friday at ’s Arctic Forest Party! ❄️

💜✨🚨NEW SET ALERT 🚨✨💜

It has been WAY too long since I’ve released a new set, but the time has finally come! 🥰 Played for a very special crowd at the very special love rave of my dear friends + this past weekend, this set took us on a sexy, sensual journey to celebrate love, friendship and community. Featuring some of my favorite tracks from + , + .dore, + , , + , + , .pandhora + .music, + , it was such an honor to play for my NY tribe on this intimate evening 💖 I hope you enjoy the ride!

After what’s been some of the most incredible, transcendent two months of my life, I’m fiiiinally going through all my photos trying to make sense of everything that’s happened and all that I’ve experienced these last 60 days (I swear it feels like a lifetime!) I realize I haven’t posted nearly anything about my time in Berlin yet, but woah… Berlin stole my heart in so many ways it’s honestly still hard to explain, process or fully understand. This picture (and one of the only pictures I even have from Berlin 😅) was taken in the awe-inspiring .berlin where I had the unique opportunity to work side by side with the legendary producer to produce my very own track from scratch! Having first fallen in love with electronic music in 2017 to then starting my DJ career last year, being able to watch and be part of the process of creating an epic dance track from start to finish has been one of the coolest things I’ve done yet. Having spent the majority of my life feeling awkward in my body, hating dance floors, feeling out of place and uncomfortable in a nightclub, or rather in my body in general, the electronic music scene means so much more to me than most people understand. Electronic music has brought me to many of my closest friends. Its provided me with countless hours of reflection, contemplation, tears, laughter, smiles, understanding, acceptance and compassion. Electronic music has made me fall in love with my body, my mind and my soul in a way that no human ever could. The electronic music scene has shown me some of the most beautiful sides of humanity, and has become such a beacon of hope and love…. And Berlin embodies this more than any place I’ve ever been in the world.

This scene has helped me transcend in ways I still can’t quite comprehend, and it’s provided me with such passion, creativity, inspiration, fire, sexiness, friendship, playfulness, purpose and love.

A snapshot from one of my favorite (and most special!) DJ/music moments... and the birth of our beloved school of DJs 🐱🎧🎶 Thanks for gifting us the most ~epic~ b2b DJ sunrise set ever made & ... and for the endless inspiration and mentorship . I’m a lucky cat!!!!

In honor of my fav person’s 40th birthday - I put together an intimate 2-hour set full of the kind of electronic music loves most; deep, dark, sexy and slow 🔥🖤😏 Though this set was initially intended for just his ears, after spending weeks putting this together, sorting through hundreds (if not thousands) of tracks, discovering dozens of artists in the process, along with a Traktor crash and losing all of my initial saved work... 😩 (a special thanks (yet again!) to for guiding me through it), this set has come to hold a very special place in my heart, and I’m now excited to share it will all of you, too ❤️ While I’d been hyper-focused on curating the danciest of vibes prior to this, crafting this set reminded me how much I also loooooooove the slower stuff and how much I’d really missed listening to it. A mix of organic instruments and melodic, downtempo beats, this set brings together emotion, grit, sexiness, a bit of nostalgia, and, of course, good ‘ol Berlin soul. I hope you enjoy the ride ✨

P.S. Happy (belated) birthday - I love you more than words could ever express. Thanks for being you ❤️
