Just a few days before her Glastonbury show Sofia Kourtesis joined us for an in-depth conversation. The Peruvian singer, producer, and DJ has lived in Berlin for 20 years now and released her debut album “Madres” last year to critical acclaim.

Together with OttO Kent, Sofia talks about being a DJ mum, approaching music like a filmmaker, and why she’s scared of playing B2B with Caribou. They also play a game in which Sofia has to assign some of her songs to Berlin clubs, and that brings back funny memories for both of them.
