When she began work on her debut, Kourtesis was seemingly unstoppable. A string of
rapturously received EPs and singles made her one of the fastest rising stars in the electronic
world and beyond. She has already graced the cover of Mixmag, released a brilliantly energetic
and moving Resident Advisor ‘RA Session’, appeared on ‘End of Year’ lists in The New York
Times, Pitchfork, DJ Mag and Spotify (#6 Best Electronic Song) and played instant sell-out early
shows at London’s Lafayette and Manchester’s YES as well as standout performances at
Glastonbury, Green Man, Wide Awake and Primavera and tours supporting Caribou and Bicep.

Kourtesis’ music is the melding of her Berlin home and her South American upbringing, two
cultures that really couldn’t be further apart. Her debut album Madres, was released on Ninja
Tune in October 2023.
