Sofia Kourtesis – DJ Set

A few months after the release of her latest EP, Sarita Colonia, by Studio Barnhus, Peruvian musician, DJ, and producer Sofia Kourtesis is travelling from Berlin to SNF Nostos for a unique house concert that will rock the stage and the audience to the pulse of electronic dance music.

Based in Berlin, Sofia Kourtesis, who is part Greek, released her first and self-titled EP last year and was instantly loved by the public. Her musical numbers flooded clubs and made their way into numerous remixes. It was no coincidence that the EP received an 8.0 rating from Pitchfork in October, with Philip Sherburne commenting that “[Kourtesis’] EP is the kind of house music that skirts convention and renounces rote functionality without ever forgetting that its purpose is to make people move.”

Sofia Kourtesis’ second and most recent EP takes her originality even further, with sounds inspired by her country of origin, her experiences from around the world, the films she loves, and the human encounters she has had.

Her performances are always special and interesting, upbeat and unique – simultaneously distant and familiar. This August, SNF Nostos audiences have the opportunity to enjoy the Peruvian artist’s exciting music, and dance to rhythms that open new horizons while retaining a pleasant sense of the familiar.

The SNF Nostos ID is required for this event. Admission on a first-come-first-served basis.
Event opens at 18:30.

Maximum number of participants:755
