Biography

Born and raised in West Berlin, Michel Neigenfind had only music and collecting records on his mind from an early age. Influenced by classic punk rock and hip hop, the Bachstelzen co-founder soon realised musical boundaries were nothing for him – opening the door to electronic music and his first productions. In her sets Kotoe effortlessly blends a plethora of styles and tempi into a personal narrative as she travels through treasures of genres like dark and classic disco, percussive Latin or Afro rhythms, emotive trance, bass-laden breakbeat, all shades of house and a touch of hip hop. Coming from the world of theater, Kotoe's selection feeds off a direct exchange with the crowd and she isn't afraid of jumping on the booth if the situation warrants it.
