KATE SIMKO – http://www.myspace.com/katesimko

Propulsive, groovy and hypnotic, Kate Simko’s music occupies a space between
house and techno with an international voice that sets it apart. Artistically,
Simko’s background helped shape her sound into a well-rounded package: she
began as a classically trained pianist who found herself at house and techno’s
doorstep during the Midwest rave’s heyday in the mid 90’s. As part of her
degree in music, Simko ventured to Santiago, Chile in 2001. There, her
successful project with Andres Bucci, Detalles, marked her entrance into the
emerging South American minimal scene.

With two Detalles albums and several years under her belt, Simko began
producing solo releases that speak for themselves. Her standout live sets at
festivals and clubs around the globe have steadily built her reputation while
her DJ skills earned her a spot in “Chicago’s Top 10 DJ’s” in XLR8R magazine.

Recent sets include Fabric in London, the Detroit Electronic Music Festival,
and a live PA at Berghain. Simko’s new release “Take You There”
(Spectral Sound) is being played by the likes of Laurent Garnier, Shonky,
Tiefschwarz, Sebo K, Dyed Soundorom, and more. Kate Simko is a music lifer,
committed to the craft and impressing the more savvy critics one record at a
time.
