Industry folk have deemed Hilit Kolet "the next real thing." The ascending London-based
artist weaves chunky UK-tinged basslines between Chicago and Detroit influenced
beats topped off with a New York sleaze-edged vibe across her productions. As a DJ,
she wields multiple sound palettes from house to techno throughout her high-octane
sets, mixed with razor-sharp technique.
A classically trained musician and long-time face of Soho's legendary Black Market
Records, Hilit Kolet debuted on Defected with her jackin' tune 'Techno Disco', landing
at #1 on Traxsource's House chart, #1 on Music Week's Upfront Club Chart and #3 on
Shazam's Discovery chart.
Support for Hilit's 100% original house cut came in strong, with Pete Tong, Danny
Howard and Sarah Story rinsing 'Techno Disco' on BBC Radio 1. Since then, her
production work - including her latest original singles ‘Hot Mess’ (Rekids) and ‘POV
Siren’ (Faith) and her edit of Laurent Garnier’s 90s gem 'Crispy Bacon’ (featured on
the limited edition boxset of Garnier’s new album) has garnered massive support. Carl
Cox, Skream, Midland, Radio Slave, Paul Woolford, Floorplan, Tsha, Jamie Jones, Eliza
Rose, Maya Jane Coles, Haai, Saoirse, Chloe Caillet, Dennis Ferrer, Patrick Topping,
Nicole Moudaber, Marco Faraone, Paco Osuna, Claude Von Stroke, Yousef, Mele,
Heléna Star, Syreeta, La La, Emerald, HoneyLuv, Demuir, Gideön, DJ Deep, Jovonn,
Tiefschwarz and many others have all been getting behind her productions, affirming
Hilit Kolet as THE talent to watch.
A 360 degrees artist who defies easy classification, Hilit radiates powerful energy
from the DJ booth, seducing the dancefloors of esteemed clubs Printworks, fabric,
Amnesia Ibiza, KOKO (closing after Floorplan), Warehouse Project and Ministry of
Sound, amongst others. Snapped up by the international festival circuit, major-league
gigs that Hilit has played include Lovebox, Secret Garden Party, Campo Sancho and
Festival No 6. Highlights from 2022 include shows for Elrow in Croatia, Jaeger in
Oslo, Ibiza, Dubai, Warsaw, and Bulgaria.
Innovative and fearless as a selector, Hilit brings her audience on an exciting ride
through dance music, evoking chaos no matter the club in question. Sultry vocals,
pulsating basslines and irresistible peak-time grooves spanning house, acid, techno and
modern electronica feature in her sets. A forward-thinking and inimitable DJ, she
shares a blend of nu-skool textures and classic moods, constantly pushing boundaries
while educating her audience along the way.
Carving out the solid yet sonically diverse path she's on today, Hilit’s roots are deeply
embedded in classical music. Growing up in a musical home with a piano teacher Mum
and a jazzholic Dad, Hilit had rhythm for breakfast and melodies for lunch — and played
the piano before she could tie her shoelaces.
As a teenager, Hilit fell in love with dance music and moved to London, delving deeper
into her career in electronic music. She became a key staff member of iconic vinyl
retailer Black Market Records, spending every moment possible soaking up the city’s
unique club culture and expanding her already encyclopedic knowledge of the scene.
DJing non-stop around the capital, she built her name locally while managing a high-
end recording studio where she learnt the art of music production.
With multi-dynamic studio projects and releases in the pipeline, Hilit Kolet is a rising star
who, like her sound, continues to captivate. Now, she's gearing up for the next phase of
an illustrious, diverse and inspiring career.
