Lina K

If you have ever been clubbing in Shanghai, you’ve probably come across a fierce blonde during her late-night extended sets that is keeping everyone from going home. A pillar of China’s underground scene, Lina K has spent 15 years behind the decks, forging her own path, both as an artist and as a curator.

As the founder of Techno Train, she shaped Shanghai’s techno culture, introducing international talent and fresh, innovative sounds to local audiences. Now based between Chișinău and Berlin, Lina brings the experience, energy, and perspective shaped by her years in Shanghai into a new chapter of her musical journey, her style continuing to evolve through new environments and influences.

Her sound is fierce and fearless – woven from dark atmospheres, groovy bass-lines, and cosmic soundscapes, layered with hypnotic FM tones. Often blending breakbeat elements into her music, she creates a fluid tension between darkness and groove. Lina’s productions and DJ sets are more than performances; they are a form of self-expression, reflecting her life experiences, emotions, and the energy that shapes her creative world. Techno Is A Woman, a project and movement started by Lina, has broken barriers, amplifying the voices of women and marginalized communities in an industry still dominated by men. She’s been rapidly diving into production and has already found her place on labels such as Rave The Planet, MODE, Synthlab, Art Bei Ton, Subhills, Ambient Sleepers, Genom Sequence, and Paralelo.

Whether in intimate settings or on the biggest stages, her music remains a reflection of who she is – constantly evolving, yet always true to its roots.
