Kate Simko

Simko has scored various feature-length films, including "The Atom Smashers" (Ghostly International), "We Believe in Dinosaurs" and "Underplayed" (Lakeshore Records).

During her teens in Chicago, she fell in love with underground dance music, while also gaining a voracious appetite to hear new sounds.

Since then, she has returned to South America for numerous extended trips, recording more music with Bucci and playing shows in cities like Buenos Aires, Punta del Este and Caracas.

With roots in Chicago house and Detroit techno, Simko's music maintains a warm, soulful character, full of funky bass lines and driving rhythms.

Reflecting her diverse background, her music crosses genre borders, blending rich textures and intricate programming with funky synth lines, thumping bass and groove.

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.
