Bambii dj

Kirsten Azan, baptized Bambii, is inarguably one of the fastest rising and well-respected DJs in Canada. She’s opened for LE1F, Big Freedia, Machine Drum, Nguzungu and recently toured with Mykki Blanco. She recently played Wayhome, TIME, FORMS Festival and Piknic Electronik while her event series JERK has been at capacity since its inception. She is part of a new generation of artists pushing back on the notion of a single genre or scene; whether spinning at an afterhours, club, D.I.Y. venue, or art opening, her dance-floors are charged with sets that seamlessly unite electronic, hip-hop, house, and global sounds. She possesses a rare combination of musical vernacular coupled with raw creative instinct, and is adamant about creating inclusive spaces. Her work and words have been quoted in publications such as Complex, Thump, NOW and The FADER.
