The techno-first program is here to create a space where the finest electronic music meets a unified FLINTA* crowd with an updated software creating new gender bending sounds and experiences. ABOV is a safe space created by FLINTA* for FLINTA*, for all the beauties that have ever been harassed, discriminated against or worse just for being themselves. FLINTA* is an umbrella term representing female, lesbian, inter*, non-binary/enby, trans*, and agender people. DOOR POLICY: Entrance is exclusive to FLINTA* persons only, if you feel represented by this term you are welcome. Being denied entry only means "not tonight" LINEUP: Fearless in both sound and spirit, DJ and producer CLARISA KIMSKII approaches her craft with undeniable sensitivity. Her sets are instinctive, moulded to the environment and the dancers before her. Kimskii moves through tension, confusion, joy and release with a precise technical command that never loses sight of emotion. Raw, hypnotic and psychedelic, her sound is rooted in driving techno, punctuated by house, breaks, melodic touches, grit and subtle distortion, with a deep groove laced throughout. Narratives fluctuate in mood and temperature as tracks dissolve into one another, at its core, she explains, is a message to not give up, to keep moving, don’t quit, don’t get stuck. Her production practice runs alongside this expansive history as a DJ, with releases across Monday Off, Dusk & Haze and Mysteries of the Deep, alongside her own vinyl imprint L.A.G. Now based in Rotterdam, she is turning renewed attention towards production and her forthcoming label Please and Thank You, conceived as a home for her own music and artists she believes in, with an ethos of respect, consideration and consent.
