When she began work on her debut, 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. Her debut album, Madres, was released on Ninja Tune in October 2023. She has graced the cover of Mixmag, released a brilliantly energetic and moving Resident Advisor ‘RA Session’, and Madres appeared on many 2023 ‘Album of the Year’ lists including Pitchfork, The Guardian, NME, Mix Mag, DJ Mag, Clash, and Billboard. She has played sell-out shows at London’s Islington Assembly Hall and Manchester’s Canvas as well as standout performances at Glastonbury, Green Man, Wide Awake and Primavera and tours supporting Caribou and Bicep. Kourtesis’ music is the melding of her Berlin home and her South American upbringing, two cultures that really couldn’t be further apart.
