// Biography
Keti Karst is a Tbilisi DJ who plays hard techno between 148 and 160 BPM, cut with industrial noise, EBM basslines and records most of the room has never heard. She learned to mix on two borrowed turntables in a flat in Vake and spent four years behind the bar of the city's after-hours scene before anyone gave her the closing slot.
Since 2023 she has played a four-hour closing set every month at Depot Nine, a former tram depot on the left bank of the Mtkvari. In 2025 she toured Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic for the first time and released the Corrosion Theory EP on Ferrite Tapes.
She co-founded Kvali Collective, which books women and queer DJs from the Caucasus.
