This week we're joined by hard techno queen's bacteria grl & KAYA in the studio.

Formerly known as K.O.D, KAYA is a hard techno artist known for her dark, driving rhythms and raw, emotional soundscapes. 

Influenced by her travels through Germany’s renowned underground scene, KAYA channels the unrelenting energy and intensity of those experiences into her sets, captivating audiences across Australia. 

Her ability to blend heavy beats with emotive undertones has forged a powerful connection with crowds, establishing her as a distinctive presence in the Australian techno scene. 

With an exciting 2025 ahead, KAYA is set to launch her own brand and release original tracks, further defining her vision and impact.

bacteria grl is a DJ & Producer based in Eora/Sydney, carving out a name in the Australian techno scene with her relentless, high-energy sets. 

Rooted in a deep love for techno and hard trance, she weaves in elements of schranz, delivering a fierce blend of pounding intensity and infectious bounce that keeps crowds locked in motion. 

Her sound is built on fast, percussive rhythms and driving, bouncy grooves, blurring the lines between hard bounce and unrelenting techno energy. 

With bold track selections and a raw, uncompromising style, she channels the intensity of European techno into Australia’s underground, and as the co-founder of Catalyst, she’s actively creating new spaces for it to thrive.
