Anika Kunst

And on this techno beat I will build my temple. This declaration of creative awareness must have gone through the mind of the Granada DJ Anika Kunst on more than one occasion since she started out as a DJ in 2001. Whenever she deejays in Barcelona or Ibiza (the two places she lays her hat when she isn’t touring), you can tell that her techno, equally influenced by German and American sounds, is the cornerstone of her sets. Well, you can tell if you are one of those weird people on the dance floor who has time to pay attention to what is playing and isn’t dancing. Because the charismatic creator of Chapter Records won’t let you look at her whilst she is looking at you: she deejays with her eyes on the dance floor. She reads the audience, manipulates the mood and reads the night. She rules.
