Gabrielle Kwarteng

Gabrielle Kwarteng’s journey so far is one of passion, dedication and the occasional strike of fate. Born and raised in New York, Kwarteng’s name has recently risen in prominence throughout a challenging time for dance music and club culture.

A DJ, radio host and curator, her sets have enchanted vital club spaces such as Panorama Bar in Berlin and NYC’s Nowadays, as well as a span of festivals including Glastonbury, Horst, Melt and Dekmantel selectors. Kwarteng’s diverse taste and open-mindedness lead first, allowing her to fluidly slip through a mix of heady 80s and 90s NY house, disco interpretations that traverse diaspora and eras, percussive passages alongside boldly broken beats and, as the lights get lower, an undeniable acid undercurrent. In an era of everything at once, Kwarteng weaves stories for the dancefloor that often look to the past, but always focus on possible futures.
