Korolova

Korolova (Maria Evsyukova) is from Russia, based in Los Angeles. She started DJing in Moscow and relocated to the US, building her following through a consistent output of melodic house and techno mixes — long-form, carefully sequenced, designed for headphone listening as much as the dancefloor. She hosts the Korolova Music podcast and releases through her own label. The Tulum set and the Miami 4K session are both on this site. She’s particularly associated with the kind of melodic techno that works outdoors at sunrise or sunset. The production quality in her mixes is consistently high; she treats the recorded mix as a finished product in itself, not just a promotional tool.
