BASHKKA

Reflecting the Turkish word for ‘different,’ BASHKKA’s name highlights her one-of-a-kind presence. The Munich-born and raised DJ, renowned for her daring and incisive style, captivates audiences while pushing the boundaries of electronic music. From her residencies at HAMAM Nights, Club RAUM and Munich’s Blitz Club, to her solid footing as a regular at Berghain’s Panorama Bar, her standout performances at Glastonbury (listed among Resident Advisor’s 5 Key Performances), Nuits Sonores, London’s Fabric or legendary Queer parties like ADONIS, are just a few examples.

Irreversibly shaped by a decade in New York City—a place she describes as her rebirth—has profoundly influenced her artistry, thanks to the city’s rich, diverse culture and LGBTQIA+ legacy. Outside the DJ booth, BASHKKA’s commitment to SWANA and queer representation, along with her homage to dance music’s Black and Brown origins, redefines the genre's rebellious spirit. With her debut EP "Maktub" claiming the number 1 spot in 2023, BASHKKA has emerged as a trailblazing artist and producer, showcasing her bold creativity in impactful collaborations, such as with Sedef Adasï for renowned fashion designer Dilara Fındıkoğlu, as well as in her numerous cutting-edge remixes.
