Karla Blum & Andrea Botez – Checkmate (Original Mix)
Played in sets of theirs since early March, “Checkmate” by Karla Blum and Andrea Botez has now been released. The German DJ and producer and Canadian artist use commanding beats and sharp percussion combined with acid lines in their first collaboration together. The tune was put out on Metodi Hristov and Gallya’s record label Set About, which they started in 2015 in Bulgaria.

Andrea Botez first played the tune during her set at Ritter Butzke in Berlin earlier this year, while Karla Blum has played it during her sets for BLUM FM 038, Techno Dampfer Düsseldorf, Select Cuts 345, and most recently during her performance at Parookaville.
Upcoming festival appearances in Germany this month for Berlin native Karla Blum include SonneMondSterne, Nibirii Festival, and Airpark Festival.
Andrea Botez is also a professional chess player along with her sister Alexandra, who run BotezLive on YouTube and Twitch. Back in June, the Los Angeles based DJ and producer performed a live set from Topanga Canyon with a stunning mountainous backdrop through MTRNM.
