Across the United States and around the world, the name Kim Anh has become synonymous with the sounds of emotive and liberating house and disco.
As a DJ, she’s been billed alongside dance music’s most prominent names including John Tejada, Roy Davis Jr., Omar S, Todd Edwards, Junior Sanchez, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May, to name a few, and notable appearances at Berlin’s Kantine am Berghain, London’s Egg and New York City’s Output.
But from behind the scenes and in her studio, Kim Anh has achieved a diverse catalogue of music including collaborations with Massimiliano Pagliara, Peaches, Oliver $, Joyce Muniz and Sam Sparro. Former Vice publication Thump dubbed Kim “LA’s club queen”, as she found herself positioned as a true mover and shaker of the city’s underground scene.
The international artist gets her roots from her Vietnamese mother and Sicilian-Mexican father; she grew up in Florida but and decided to venture to the Big Apple in her early twenties. Her involvement in the 90s club scene became her livelihood, and the house music trifecta of Chicago, New York and Detroit is what kept her motivated through influence.
Her contribution and support for the LGBTQIA+ community around her has been accounted for through her parties like Booby Trap! (LA, NYC), YOWSAH (LA, NYC, London) and most recently in LA, her underground party series called Tendencies.
Kim’s latest output sees her collaborate with Eli Escobar for ‘Take Me’ which is out now on his label Night People NYC.
In celebration of their latest release, and in continued celebration of Pride Month, Mixmag asked Kim to share her top 10 tunes that exude the ‘Power of Pride’.
