Hailing from Kosovo and now based in Berlin, she's become a pivotal figure in the global underground electronic music scene. Her sound, a potent blend of raw, industrial techno, breaks, and trance-infused melodies, isn’t just designed for dance floors; it's built to challenge and redefine them. BASHKKA's ascent has been rapid. From her early sets in Prishtina's nascent rave scene to commanding stages at Berghain, Printworks, and Dekmantel, her relentless energy and sonic innovation have propelled her into the spotlight. Key moments include the release of her critically acclaimed EPs on labels like Lobster Theremin and Possession Records, solidifying her reputation as a formidable producer.

Collaborations with artists like VTSS and performances alongside heavy hitters like Helena Hauff have further cemented her status. Currently, BASHKKA continues to push boundaries with forthcoming releases and a relentless touring schedule, proving that her influence on the genre is only just beginning.
