Kaynasty Vinyl DJ since 1999: techno, acid and basslines that hit hard.

DJ KAYNASTY mainly plays techno, acid, breaks and tech-house, with electro and harder passages depending on the energy of the dancefloor. Her sets also weave in ethnic, tribal, oldschool, disco, hip-hop, ragga, rock and funk influences. These colours come in touches, as the selection unfolds. The result comes down to three things: fat basslines, melodies that stay with you and kicks that hit hard. KAYNASTY builds every set as a journey, from one track to the next. Her approach has been shaped by more than 27 years on the decks, since May 1999. It was sharpened at free parties in Normandy, then at underground nights in London between 2006 and 2010. To hear her style before booking her, check out her mixes on SoundCloud and Mixcloud.

Yes, DJ KAYNASTY plays vinyl: it has been her format of choice since she first stepped up to the decks in May 1999, after discovering free parties in Rouen. For KAYNASTY, vinyl is not about nostalgia. It is her working instrument. Every record is picked one by one, which makes for a sharp selection and a mix built like a journey. This choice has a practical consequence for promoters. The venue needs working vinyl turntables and a mixer. Technical details are confirmed when you send your booking request by email to djkayna@live.fr. This loyalty to vinyl has been part of her stage identity for more than 27 years. It sets her apart from many of today's DJs, who play digital.

DJ KAYNASTY comes from Rouen in Normandy and now lives near Paris; she takes bookings anywhere in France and across Europe. Her career was built on the road. From 2001, she lived a nomadic life and joined the humanitarian convoys of Camions Sans Frontières. From 2006 to 2010, she lived in London and played underground nights and squat parties. She has performed in France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, the Netherlands, England and Spain. She also keeps close ties with the Normandy scene. For promoters in the Paris region or Normandy, logistics are simple. For dates further afield, travel costs are discussed when you make your request. The booking form on this page lets you give the city and venue in your very first message.

DJ KAYNASTY has been booked at festivals including Boomtown Fair in the United Kingdom, Soundfeer in the Czech Republic, Rebella Pirata in the Netherlands and Festifl'Art in France. Boomtown Fair is one of the major British alternative festivals, known for its immersive stages. These bookings extend a path rooted in free party culture, which KAYNASTY discovered in Rouen in 1996. She is just as at home on a festival stage as in a club, a warehouse or a community party. KAYNASTY is a member of the Syndikate collective. She was also part of Pussy Power, a female DJ collective. In total, she has played in nine European countries. Festival bookers planning their next edition can request a date through the booking form on this page or by email to djkayna@live.fr.

To book DJ KAYNASTY, send a request by email to djkayna@live.fr or use the booking form on this page, giving at least the date and the venue. A complete request saves back-and-forth. Give the date, the city and the name of the venue. Specify the type of event: club, festival, free party, community party or private event. Add the set time and length you have in mind, then the expected capacity. Finally, say whether the venue has vinyl turntables, since KAYNASTY plays vinyl. Requests are welcome from France and the whole of Europe. The form on this page automatically prepares a structured email with all this information. All you have to do is send it from your own mailbox. The site does not store any data.

DJ KAYNASTY's fee is set on a quote basis, depending on the date, the length of the set, the type of event and the venue. Travel and, if needed, accommodation costs are added depending on distance. A Paris club, a festival abroad and a community party do not face the same constraints. The fee is therefore tailored to each project. The quote also reflects rare experience: more than 27 years of playing vinyl and European festivals such as Boomtown Fair. For an accurate quote, email djkayna@live.fr with the date, the city, the format of the night and the set time. Mentioning your budget, even a rough one, speeds things up. The booking form on this page has a dedicated budget field.

For a DJ KAYNASTY set, provide vinyl turntables in good condition and a mixer, since she has been playing vinyl since 1999. The exact setup is confirmed with her before the date, by email to djkayna@live.fr. A few points matter especially with vinyl. The turntables should stand on a stable surface, isolated from bass vibrations. Cartridges and styluses should be in good shape, with no visible wear. A well-tuned booth monitor helps her beatmatch by ear. If your venue has no vinyl turntables, say so in your first request. A solution can then be worked out together, through hire or otherwise. The booking form on this page includes a field to describe the equipment available. Sharing a photo of the DJ booth can also help.
