Sofia Kourtesis

Born in Lima, Peru, and based in Berlin, Sofia Kourtesis creates electronic music that bridges house, soft techno, downtempo and club pop, featuring supple rhythms, vocal loops, melodic pads and subtle yet constant Latin American references. She began releasing in the mid-2010s and gained greater visibility at the end of the decade with releases like This Is It, Right? (2019) on Studio Barnhus, before moving to Technicolour, the Ninja Tune imprint, with Sarita Colonia in 2020 and Fresia Magdalena in 2021. Her writing favors tracks that are both danceable and introspective, where house remains central while leaving room for ambient textures, processed vocals and a strong sense of personal storytelling. Active on club and festival stages across Europe, she circulates this language between DJ sets and live formats, and expanded it on the album Madres, released in 2023.
