Trance Review: KI/KI & Storm Mollison - Getting Ready For The Party out on slash / Armada Music
Fresh off her debut DJ Mag cover and three headline shows at Amsterdam Dance Event 2024—an all-day celebration at The "Bajes" and a debut free party at the infamous Gashouder—boundary-breaking artist KI/KI has released her latest track: ‘Getting Ready For The Party’ with Storm Mollison.
Bringing raw club energy into your living room, KI/KI continues to merge worlds in her own way. On her latest release via her self-founded label slash, she fuses hard-hitting trance synths with Storm Mollison's silky vocals, classic hard house elements with her forward-thinking take on club music, and everyday life with the adrenaline of a big night ahead. With its infectious melody, driving bassline, and a touch of pop allure, ‘Getting Ready For The Party’ channels the rush of pre-party anticipation and has quickly become a fan favourite since its first play.
A staple in KI/KI’s DJ sets, the single is the highly anticipated follow-up to KI/KI’s celebrated remix of Felix’s classic ‘Don’t You Want Me’, which made waves during her standout AVA Boiler Room set and beyond —and Beatport #1 smash ‘5 Mins of Acid’.
"I love exploring contrasts - calm versus chaos, personal moments versus collective energy. The pre-game is where it all starts - this is the soundtrack to that electric moment of transition.“ KI/KI

About KI/KI
From Amsterdam’s fertile underground to techno temples around the world, KI/KI is at the forefront of a new rave insurrection.
Shaped by the time-tried fundamentals of trance, acid and techno, she subtly constructs her own signature: a sound realm that’s fast but dreamlike, futuristic but nostalgic, severe but – at all times – euphoric.
Starting out as a resident DJ at queer stronghold Spielraum back in 2018, KI/KI has rapidly evolved into a nightlife bastion of her own. In the past years she’s made a mark with unforgettable all-nighters, curating her own ‘KI/KI invites’ series, upsurging Boiler Room views, and causing dancefloor frenzy from Säule to Bassiani to ∄.
As an artist, collaboration and community are essential to KI/KI’s craft. While festival stages and warehouses have become her second home, her heart still beats the loudest for the dark and intimate fringes of nightlife. Beyond music, this artistry bleeds into all forms of collaboration; resulting in, among others, her ‘not for sleeping’ project with Amsterdam fashion collective The New Originals.
