About Kate Simko
Although her music tends to appear on hip techno labels like Spectral and Hello? Repeat, Kate Simko’s music blurs the lines between techno, house, IDM and soundtrack scores to create soulful moments for different settings. From her work scoring the PBS documentary The Atom Smashers, to her melodic tech/house singles such as “Mind on You,” Simko always brings a fresh take on composition that combines a soulful approach to songwriting with modern drum programming for the dance floor.
On May 23rd, Kate Simko will release Lights Out, her first full-length solo release, on Hello? Repeat records. The album is an amalgam of house music, techno sounding percussion, funky bass lines, and soulful vocals – proper dance floor material. Kate also recently returned from a European tour to support the release, and continues with select US dates, including her May 15th gig in NYC, and a Movement 2011 Opening Party at Oslo in Detroit.
Find out more about Kate in Michael Walsh’s full workshop preview/interview on the Dubspot Blog.
