12” EP – Limited Edition Black Vinyl.

Berlin-based Peruvian producer and activist Sofia Kourtesis returns with a brilliant EP, out on 1st August on Ninja Tune. The upcoming EP explores the evolving journey of womanhoodbeginning in solitude,transitioning into the discovery of sisterhood and family, and culminating in empowerment. It embraces sensuality, connection, and a profound relationship with nature, carrying a message of introspection and hope.

First track is an incredible collaboration with friend and fellow artist Dan Snaith (Daphni). When she began work on her debut album, Madres, Kourtesis was seemingly unstoppable. A string of rapturously received EPs and singles made her one of the fastest rising stars in the electronic world and beyond. She has already graced the cover of Mixmag, released a brilliantly energetic and moving Resident Advisor RA Session, appeared on End of Year lists from the likes of The New York Times, Pitchfork, DJ Mag and Spotify (#6 Best Electronic Song) and played instant sell-out early shows at Londons IAH, Manchesters YES as well as standout performances at Glastonbury, Green Man, Wide Awake and Primavera and tours supporting Caribou and Bicep.
