Her sets feel like memories waiting to be remembered. Berlin-based DJ and producer Karry G isn’t chasing the biggest drop or the loudest moment — she’s crafting sonic journeys that feel deeply human. With a sound rooted in melodic and progressive house, Karry is quietly reshaping the dance floor into a space for connection, vulnerability, and emotional clarity. We sat down with her to talk about sound as storytelling, why silence is sometimes louder than bass, and what it means to bring soul back into machines.
“I Don’t Start with a Drop — I Start with a Feeling”
– Karry, your music has been described as deeply emotional and cinematic. How would you describe your sound?
I never think of my tracks as songs for clubs. I think of them as emotional landscapes. For me, the dance floor isn’t just for movement — it’s a place where people process things. Feel things. Maybe even release something they didn’t know they were carrying.
– What’s the first thing that sparks a new track for you?
A feeling. It could be the sound of air moving through a filter or a single minor chord on a synth. That’s enough for me to start. I never build around a drop — I build around a mood. A memory. Sometimes it’s abstract, but I follow it intuitively.
“My Performance Begins Before the First Beat”
– You’re known not just for your sound, but for your visual presence on stage. What role does visual identity play in your sets?
A huge one. I don’t separate sound from sight. When I perform, I’m not just mixing tracks — I’m telling a story. And my look is part of that narrative. If the music feels like a dream, I want to look like the dream. If it’s darker, more aggressive, I want my outfit to echo that energy.
– That sounds like you’re directing your own live film, in a way.
Exactly. We live in a hyper-visual world. People don’t just listen anymore — they experience. If you can give them a world to step into, they’ll stay with you longer. It’s not just aesthetic. It’s emotional coherence.
“We’re Not Going Back — We’re Going Deeper”
– You’ve said electronic music is shifting away from overly polished digital sounds. What are you hearing in the scene right now?
There’s a real hunger for rawness. People want to hear wood, breath, metal — things that feel alive. That’s why more artists are incorporating acoustic textures, live instruments, even spoken word into melodic house and techno. It’s not nostalgia. It’s evolution.
– So this isn’t about going back to analog for the sake of it?
No, it’s not retro for retro’s sake. It’s about humanizing the machine. It’s about bringing soul back into synthetic sound. We’re not regressing — we’re reconnecting.
“Authenticity Isn’t a Sound. It’s a Choice.”
– Your music avoids templates and formulas. Is that intentional?
Very. The moment I follow a formula, the track feels fake. I want every piece to feel like something you half-remember — like a dream that leaves a mark even if you don’t understand it.
– What would you say to emerging producers trying to find their voice?
Don’t chase trends. Don’t mimic your favorite DJ. Ask yourself: What sound feels like me? That’s your voice. Honor it. Even if it’s quiet. Especially if it’s quiet.
“I Don’t Want to Dominate the Room — I Want to Open It”
– In a scene where energy often means volume, you’re doing something very different. What do you want people to feel on your dance floor?
Safe. Seen. Moved. I’m not here to overwhelm a crowd — I’m here to invite them into something. Maybe a memory. Maybe a moment of release. Maybe even something healing.
– That’s a much more introspective approach than we usually associate with dance music.
I think the future of electronic music is emotional. People are craving depth — not just BPM. And sometimes the most powerful moment in a set isn’t the loudest — it’s the most honest.
