INFO


Irish-born, Manchester-based Kerrie i s a multi-disciplinary artist, incorporating live sets, DJing, producing and run ning her label Dark Machine Funk across her repertoire of work. Now, Kerrie fol lows up last year's 'Raw Regimen' (BP063) with a second EP for James Ruskin's se minal Blueprint Records.

Having garnered a rich musical education thr ough working at and holding a DJ residency for one of the UK's most respected re cord shops Eastern Bloc, Kerrie's in-depth knowledge and unwavering dedication t o music shines through her notable back catalogue and bolshy, unforgiving DJ and Live sets. Honing her craft for over a decade, Kerrie has played worldwide in celebrated venues such as Tresor, Berghain, fabric, FOLD, Elsewhere NYC and fest ivals including Freedom Medellin, Freerotation, Drift and Basilar.

Fi rst learning to mix via her brother's turntables in the early 2000s, it wasn't u ntil 2009 that Kerrie invested in her own set-up and built an extensive record c ollection, covering everything from ambient, electronic, house, EBM, acid, elect ro, and her go-to genre, techno. Kerrie delivers tough moods from the turntable s, as conveyed in her mixes for Reclaim Your City, Bassiani, SLAM and Crack, whe re she carefully blended high-energy styles of UK, Detroit, and European techno, many of which stem from the 90s and the 00s. It's frequent to hear Kerrie weav e broken elements into her mixes too, chopping up the 4/4 groove at just the rig ht moment to keep things propulsive. Kerrie's Live sets are fast becoming renow ned for their trippy motifs and high impact on the dancefloor, applauded by Berl in's long-running club Tresor, where she made several appearances with her Elekt ron machines. Kerrie's Live set at Freerotation in 2019 was one of the festival 's most talked-about debuts, and this year, Kerrie will return to and debut at m ultiple festivals and clubs across Europe and the Americas.

Following well-received releases on labels such as Don't Be Afraid, Cultivated Electronic s, I Love Acid and Symbolism, Kerrie launched her imprint Dark Machine Funk [DMF ] in 2020. The label homes her distinctly raw aesthetic and honours her love fo r dark, gritty, metallic and industrial sounds melded with elements of funk, hea vily influenced by second-wave Detroit artists, UK techno and music by some of h er favourite artists; James Ruskin, Blawan and Surgeon. Kerrie's first release on DMF, 'Inner Space PT1', was praised by Resident Advisor, who credited her abi lity to make "lean, fierce techno that knows how to groove."

2022 was a watershed year for Kerrie's productions. She debuted on the monumental UK te chno label Blueprint with her EP 'Raw Regimen', which landed acclaimed reviews. Truly welcomed to the Blueprint family, Kerrie shares her second EP on the labe l in May and joins the crew at Blueprint showcases around the globe. This year marks the release of Kerrie's 10th EP on vinyl, and considering her consistent o utput on DMF, Blueprint and many more labels, the producer shows no sign of slow ing down.

Coming to international prominence in more recent years, re gardless of her decade-long tenure in Manchester's vibrant scene, Kerrie is deep ly invested in the culture of electronic music, starting from her teenage era as a raver in Ireland up to her innovative projects today. In 2017, she founded E astern Bloc's in-house event space to nurture local talent, which remains at the heart of Manchester's music community. Having ended her 11-year stint at the s hop in 2023 to fully commit to the studio and accommodate her increasingly busy tour schedule, Kerrie is forging a long-lasting path fuelled by drive, passion, authenticity and a community-first way of thinking.
