Detroit to Deutschland with Kiana Mickles

Tracing the history of electro from its origins in ’90s working-class Detroit to its expansion into pop and electroclash as the genre was embraced by musicians overseas. The New York-born artist Kiana wears many hats in the electronic music world. In their city, they divide their time between DJing and working as a prolific nightlife critic. Kiana views their sets as invitations to indulge in sapphic mischief, blending New York house, bouncy techno, and East Coast club into soundscapes as studied as they are sexy.
