Kristin Velvet

Kristin Velvet continues to solidify her position as one of the most dynamic and influential figures in the global house scene, with forthcoming releases on Innervisions’ sub-label Exit Strategy and Hot Creations in early 2026, the year is already shaping up to be an exciting new chapter.

Based between two iconic music hubs—Berlin and Ibiza—Velvet’s past year has seen her deliver standout EPs on Damian Lazarus’s Crosstown Rebels alongside chart-topping tracks on Arms & Legs, the label she co-runs with Daniel Steinberg. These releases build on a decade of acclaimed output, including collaborations with house legends Fred P and Felix Da Housecat, whose track “Swing Special” was featured in Episode 9 of Lena Dunham’s Netflix series Too Much.

Rooted in the spirit of 90s Chicago and Detroit house and shaped by golden-era hip-hop, Velvet’s sound honours her influences while pushing boldly forward. Her productions continue to receive heavy support across the industry—Jimi Jules and Dixon at Awakenings; Seth Troxler at Circoloco Thailand and KOKO London; Jamie Jones at Circoloco and the Amnesia Closing; Acid Pauli at Time Warp; Marco Carola and Luuk van Dijk at ADE —among many others.

Velvet’s impact extends far beyond her studio work. She has commanded stages at leading clubs worldwide, including a seven-year residency at Watergate Berlin, alongside performances at UNVRS Ibiza, Amnesia Ibiza, Hï Ibiza, XOYO London, Silencio Paris, D-Edge São Paulo, Hive Zurich, Culture Box Copenhagen, Revolver Melbourne, Nomad Tulum and The Edition Los Angeles. Her festival presence is equally global, with standout sets at Lollapalooza, Fusion Festival, Docklands Festival, Snowbombing and Exit Festival, among others.

With major releases set for 2026 and momentum building across the globe, Kristin Velvet stands poised to enter her most impactful chapter yet. She is not just a DJ—she is a curator of unforgettable experiences, a purveyor of infectious energy and a creative force shaping the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music.
