Shawna (KMLN)

An international shapeshifting duo, KMLN (pronounced “Kameleon”) unites Italian producer/multi-instrumentalist Christopher Tooker and Canadian dj/producer Shawna Hofmann. Live instruments, syncopation, organic meets modern, future meets past.

May it be a prime time or sunrise set, they adapt and deliver sets that blow your mind and bring your dance skills to the next level. As interplanetary travelers and cultural explorers, the KMLN ship bends time through sound, blending elements of deep tribal house and minimal techno, moving through tempos with layers and layers of mind altering colors.

Last year alone, the KMLN ship landed in over 21 countries worldwide. The magic has been experienced at some of the most respected festivals including The BPM Festival, Miami Music Week, Amsterdam Dance Event, Lightning in a Bottle, Global Eclipse, Summit Series, Air Festival, Symbiosis Gathering, Shambhala, Wonderfruit, The Gardens Of Babylon, Meadows in the Mountains and legendaryBurning Man art cars such as Robot Heart and Mayan Warrior.
