Chicago’s Kate Simko projects a truly unique set of influences into her production. Classically trained since her teens, her style is elegant and sensual yet minimalist and structured. Having remixed the renowned Philip Glass, sound tracked a feature film documentary and combined Live Visuals into her Live Tours; it’s fair to say that Kate Simko holds her own as a multi talented artist. With a diverse sound palette that has been released on labels such as Hello?Repeat, Leftroom, Ghostly International, Supplement Facts and more; Kate’s work meanders through clinical minimal to tougher techno and as seen on her current Live AV tour, a more upbeat and vocally infused house edge. With an imminent relocation to London and a hoard of new productions up her sleeve, MEOKO welcome Kate Simko for this week’s ‘The Not So Serious Sessions’...
The world would be a better place...
...pretty serious Q for the not so serious sessions – haha! :) It would be a better place if everyone genuinely tried to do their best, at whatever it is that they do.
The first record I ever wrote...
...was in Santiago, Chile with Andres Bucci in 2001 (as Detalles). We made an album from start to finish in two months! Wish I still worked that fast, uff…
My parents taught me...
...to be a good person
My studio...
...is about to get packed up and shipped to London :)
The last time I cried...
...I was hung over at the airport in Ireland reading Irish sayings
My all time musical hero...
...is John Coltrane, and his wife Alice Coltrane is also a major inspiration
