Soundcheck: KARABA's Beatport Chart for Lightning in a Bottle
Ahead of her performance at Lightning in a Bottle 2025, French-Congolese DJ/producer Karaba brings us a preview of whats to come with a selection of tracks that shows off her deep and melodious Afrocentric sound.
KARABA is a French-born, Montreal-raised DJ and producer fusing her background as a professional dancer with a deep, global approach to Afro house. After working alongside artists like Drake and Selena Gomez, she transitioned to the decks and the studio in 2016, bringing a kinetic energy and movement-informed style to her spellbinding sets and productions.
Ahead of her performance at the 2025 edition of Lightning in a Bottle, we asked KARABA to line up a playlist with a few tracks that have been driving her sound as of late.
"I'm a huge fan of the producers and music coming out of Africa and Europe, especially in the Afro house and Afro tech scenes. I love highlighting these artists whenever I step behind the decks. This playlist is a celebration of some of my favorite producers and a solid reflection of the kind of music I love to play in my sets: intense, emotional, and full of energy. Get ready to experience it live at my set at Lightning in a Bottle!" — KARABA
