Zola (fka Kika) is a Toronto-based DJ and creative conjurer who’s been shaping the city’s underground since 2016. Her high-octane blends of techno, house, electro, and bass move with purpose; rooted in ritual, release, and liberation.
A resident with Technoir Collective and the mind behind Thoughtful Revolutions Music, Zola’s work explores the dance floor as sacred space. Her latest series, Shadow Werk, invites dancers to dive inward to thumping, esoteric techno under the full moon.
“I believe the dance floor is sacred and a conduit to personal and collective liberation: ancient wisdom with forward momentum.”

Miss Kleio's signature hypnotic hardgroove sound is a time machine to the underground's golden era, yet firmly rooted in the now. Her soundscapes are a masterclass in tension and release, weaving together driving, hypnotic polyrhythms and chest-pounding beats that command the dancefloor.
A sought-after selector, Miss Kleio has shared stages with heavyweights like Patrick Mason, Sama Abdulhadi, Skin on Skin, leaving her mark on iconic events such as Electric Island.
But Miss Kleio's impact extends beyond the DJ booth. In 2024, Miss Kleio unveiled her latest project, BODYCLOCK, a monthly, queer-centric techno sanctuary focused on amplifing queer DJs of color and marginalized voices in electronic music. Miss Kleio is also a co-founder of TECHNOIR Collective, a techno-forward DJ crew and QTBIPOC event series.
