MAJKA:
Majka is a DJ with roots in Tromsø, known for her electronic and playful sets. She mixes old and new with a lighthearted approach, where synth-driven tracks, melodic elements, and energetic touches of electropop, house, and trance coexist in an equal and playful symbiosis.
With a fondness for retro soundscapes and ’90s electronic music, she spices up her sets with futuristic electro and quirky leftfield influences. For Majka, DJ-ing is about the exploration of music and body movement, as she invites the audience along on a dance journey.
