Irish DJ and producer Kerrie, now based in Manchester is a powerhouse of multidisciplinary talent. Known for her excellently curated DJ sets spanning across ambient, EBM, acid, electro and techno. 

With appearances at Berlin’s Tresor, Freerotation and her live sets becoming a must see, as a producer, her music has found a home on labels Don’t Be Afraid, Cultivated Electronics, I Love Acid and Symbolism. In 2020, she founded her own imprint Dark Machine Funk (DMF), which allows her love for dark, gritty, industrial sounds to run free.

A key figure in the Manchester scene after working at one of the U.K.’s most well respected record shops Eastern Bloc for 11 years and founding their in house event space, a local space which nurtures up and coming talent, her deep investment in electronic music can be found all over the city. 

We’re thrilled to be welcoming her to Manchester’s Soup Kitchen for a deep dive into her creative process.
