kia (like the car)

so nice to share some non-club music that makes me feel at home no matter where I am in the world, with my love @bitterbabe_ on @nts_radio for the early bird show… it felt good after a few landing weeks in my new temporary home in paris (my husky morning voice was unavoidable though) archived on the NTS site now, head there to listen - special guest feature from ryu (laura’s cat/ my niece), who was also waking up with us 🪄 thanks for the invite ❤️ @bitterbabe_ 📸 @balsalobrem

The lineup is here. On May 15th, @animalialabel makes the trip up north from Australia to join @traumgarten.world at our favourite venue the the NL, @laak.club , Den Haag. Old friends and new connections, shaped through sound.. and for the love of dub. Across two rooms, expect a journey from deep and hypnotic to driving and transcendent. dirtydms @dirty.dms Ghost Dubs (live) @ghost.dubs Kia @kiasvs Neska @nes8ka Radart (live) @papercutsltd @partydown99 ru-ga @ru_gaiyah Sòn du Maquís (live) @son.du.maquis Vox supreme @voxsupreme.traumgarten .WEST (light installation) @dotweststudio Sound @kantarion.sound Early tickets are almost gone.

INTRODUCING °•*⁀➷ @kiasvs (@animalialabel ) Kia’s sensibility is driven by a specific pool of memories - and, beyond her home in Australia, many were formed in her early dj years in the Netherlands. having started off her international touring career with traumgarten, Red Light Radio, De School, Nous’klaer audio, De Lichting & Breakfast Club at the ripe age of 23, she’s since become a regular visitor and has built a strong community of friends and music lovers alike in the hague & the broader local dutch music scene. on the road, Kia prizes the discovery of different communities, spaces or sounds as a perspective to channel back into her local scene… Kia’s label/mix/party imprint Animalia, and sub-label Cirrus, as well as the co-curation of new festival un:send, are home to some of Australia’s most exciting talents, and serve as bridges to foster special connections between likeminded music peers from north to south. a timely return to Laak after the last Animalia takeover there in 2023. tickets via the link in bio ⛓️‍💥 🔊 @stonestaro — New Mineral

Animalia is turning 6! Come and celebrate our birthday and season finale with us ❤️ As the clock ticks on, faster than ever, we’ve somehow come to the final rotation of Animalia events at home for the season… And as the label gears up for its sixth year of parties, mixes and nears its twentieth vinyl release, we’re starting to feel more and more sentimental. Whilst the label has evolved over the years, the loyal Animalia community has blossomed. We couldn’t feel more blessed to have had our miscellania family at home here in Melbourne hosting our parties for 5 + years now. Nowhere more special to celebrate than in the place that birthed and inspired the label itself. So, a festive affair is in order, with a bunch of our favourite locals. @drftctch on the roof for 4 hours; local tastemaker @sashageyer ; live sets from some of Naarm’s most exciting producers @tangerine.mu and Louis Marlo @feltsenserecs ; Gadigal legend @dgradeknockoff and label boss @kiasvs on a late night set. Come down for a final dance .. it will be a very long while till we return (but we promise we’ll be back) We’re keeping tickets cheap - if you get in quick, you’ll be able to grab a $10(‼️) ticket - and we recommend presales as they will be more expensive on the door. You can expect more than just music… think art installations (@baby_laydown & @eeooffyy ), games, food and prizes (music, vinyl, merch and even a lifelong medallion for free entry to all Animalia events is up for grabs!) The first 30 people to buy a presale enter the draw to win one of 3 free copies of Animalia vinyl releases, and there are more surprises to be announced. It’s important to note that Animalia operates on the land of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to their elders past & present, and acknowledge that the struggle against colonial violence continues. Sovereignty has never been ceded. 2pm-1am, Sunday 26th April D-Grade @dgradeknockoff Dr. Fetch @drftctch Kia @kiasvs Louis Marlo (live) @feltsenserecs Sasha Geyer @sashageyer Tangerine (live) @tangerine.mu Tickets on sale now via Humanitix 🌠🌠🌠 Poster by @mil_llu ❤️

I love @nowadaysnyc so much - probably one of my favourite clubs in the world. I’m very grateful for my residency there - which has been an amazing opportunity to play to different crowds and contexts and always push myself to try something new. so I decided to upload my set recording from the other week - very cute energy on the dancefloor and my fave nyc friends right at the front (always makes you play better!) this set was on the 16th march 2026, 12-3pm, after carlos souffront & plo man and before yumi (legends) you can check it on my sc now ❤️

We are devastated that our dear friend @pariah_uk can’t make it down under this time - thinking of him, and he’ll be sorely missed, but we promise to reschedule with him as soon as the time is right ❤️ The good news is, the most iconic duo to arguably ever come out of aus, bush techno pioneers @sleepd93 are joining us for their first ever performance at an Animalia party! with a brand new live set. @kiasvs & @wnsalu will now play an extended set too. Mexican Jamaican dub techno wizard @4ndym4rtin will still close out the night, in celebration of his groundbreaking new @animalialabel release - mastered by 1/2 of Sleep D (@coreykikos ). A full circle moment ♾️ Tickets are flying - early birds are gone & first release moving fast. Presales recommended to avoid queues Animalia’s only summer event and one of @kiasvs last performances in Australia for the season ❤️ Tix in bio
