Ivy Barkakati is an American DJ and producer based in Barcelona since 2012. Her solo music has been released on Hospital Productions and Modern Obscure Music, and her vocals have featured on tracks by Cardopusher, Furious Frank, and Roza Terenzi. Her project IVAN with the Venezuelan producer Phran has just self-released their EP Delicious Fantasy. She is also half of another duo, Proceed, with the Basque producer Eneko Balzategi, and their debut EP recently released on Haus of Beats. Since 2016 she has presented the radio show Casa da Crega on the Barcelona branch of dublab, dublab.es.
In her home city Lisbon, Violet is contributing to her local scene from different angles. She’s co-founder of online radio station Rádio Quântica and also resident at mina – a queer ravein unexpected venues. This work permeates Violet’s work as an artist, as she thoughtfully expresses the political history of dance music through her voice and her music. As a producer, she has released music on One Eyed Jacks and LoveOn The Rocks, self-released collaborations with artists likes Elles, DEBONAIR and Nightwave for International Women’s Day, remixed on Cómeme and established her own label – Naive. The first self-released EP on it, “Togetherness” resonated widely, using the sound of familiar breaks and twisting them into new contexts with dub-inspired bass, brass flourishes and dreamy chords. Eris Drew played the title track on her widely appraised RA podcast as well as choosing it as the featured track in a short film about her DJing. Violet incorporates similar sounds from her production process into her DJing, melding breaks, extraterrestrial jacking rhythms, imaginative techno, acid house and more in a way that feels natural and challenging all at once. She has contributed mixes for Beats In Space, Crack, The Ransom Note, Mixmag and Cómeme as well as having radio appearances on Rinse, NTS and The Lot. Violet has played across Europe at parties such as Room 4 Resistance, Berlin Atonal and Field Maneuvers and embarked on her first US tour in 2018.
