With roots in Chicago house and Detroit techno, Kate's music maintains a warm, soulful character, full of funky bass lines and driving rhythms. Kate spent her childhood years studying piano and music theory. During her teens in Chicago in the mid-nineties, she fell in love with underground dance music, gaining a voracious appetite to hear new sounds and absorbing it all dancing until dawn each weekend in the Midwest. Her passion for electronic music eventually led to her to study music technology and piano at Northwestern University, while also directing the dance and hip-hop format of the respected radio station WNUR. In 2001, Kate relocated for a music composition program in Santiago, Chile, where she met Andres Bucci and recorded their first record together as Detalles. Since then, Kate has returned to South America for numerous extended trips, recording more music with Andres Bucci and playing shows in cities like Buenos Aires, Punta del Este and Caracas.



Reflecting her diverse background, Kate's music crosses genre borders, blending rich textures and intricate programming with funky synth lines, thumping bass and groove. Her ever-changing live PA continues to be a highlight wherever she plays, at home or abroad. She has received press in The Wire, XLR8R, de:Bug, Mixmag, BPM and Remix and her Detalles project was named one of the 'Next
100' artists by URB magazine. A versatile DJ, Kate was named one of the Top 10 DJ's in Chicago by XLR8R magazine. Her work has been released on Traum Schallplatten, Antenna International and Kupei Musika, and been remixed by Thomas Brinkmann and Atom Heart, while she has remixed Philip Glass and Aeroc (Geoff White), among others.



Kate has upcoming releases set to come out on Spectral Sound and Chocolate Industries, among others.
