MR.A INVITES..KETIA (RAUM,BE) 24/05/2025 5€ / 16€ after 22.30 + security fee 22-04.30 with JOPO SIMEON K. MR.A ketia is an up-to-no-good self-assigned cyborg, has a keen ear for new and exciting music, alongside a curious, invested approach to community-building within the Lisbon and Berlin club scene. Known for their infamous intimate invite-only kit ket events in Lisbon and one of the glitches behind the label and collective kaptcha, which launched the xenolith series: a compilation type of release gathering funds for CASA T, a local shelter for trans folx. The debut of this series was recognised as DJ Mag’s top compilation of the year and RA’s November’s Best Music. In Berlin, where they reside, they’re deep and sweetly entangled with the modern rituals happening at Berlin’s new ambient listening bar kwia – ketia helps hold space for a different way of connecting through high fidelity sound and intimacy outside of the usual club dynamics. Sonically, they’re easily enticed by syncopated drums and twisted rhythms, driven house with groove and breaks married with rave nostalgia. ketia thrives on genre-bending beats connected through vocal-infused tracks that allow for unique storytelling. They’re currently a resident at CLUB RAUM, Kilowatt and Joyride and a regular at queer parties around Europe like Mala Junta, Lecken, HARD TRADE, Endurance, Floorgasm and No Shade. Having made mixes for Possession and DISCWOMAN, and played TAG, Minh, Basement, Draaimolen, Whole Festival, Boiler Room and Atonal, ketia feel very grounded and belonging in the worldwide club happenings. THIS IS YOUR PERSONAL INVITATION TO QUEERNESS & GLORY, EUPHORIA & EXHILIRATIONS.
