Cloudy (real name Claudia Koziolek) is a German DJ known for her hard, melodic, and dark techno. Her music features driving basslines, energetic beats, emotional peaks, and distinctive vocals. Since making her debut in July 2021, she has quickly made a name for herself in the electronic music scene, thrilling audiences around the world.
She began her career as a DJ in 2021. Just one year later, on April 29, 2022, she became the first female resident DJ for the Cologne event series “Adrenaline – Energize Techno.” This opportunity helped her refine her skills and gain recognition in the industry.
In August 2022, she performed in front of over 500,000 people during German Pride Month. The event’s values—love, tolerance, and acceptance—are particularly close to her heart.
After taking a short break in Thailand, she returned on March 4, 2023, with a performance at “Das Inferno.” In April, she made her Dutch debut at the “Verknipt Easter” festival with DYEN, Nico Moreno, and Jacidorex. On May 27, she performed at the “Teletech Hardcore” event in Manchester.
A major milestone was her first all-night set in October 2023 at the Gotec Club 76, which she described as “six hours of pure energy and a sold-out club—an incredible experience!” Later that month, she performed at the Verknipt premiere at the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) alongside Farrago, CLTX, and Vera Grace.
She also toured Australia for the first time that month, performing in Sydney and Melbourne. “Two years ago, I wouldn’t have believed I’d be performing here. Now, I’m just grateful for this opportunity.”
In November 2023, she performed on the main stage at Verknipt Germany with talents such as CALLUSH, Sofie Sapuna, and Vendex. In January 2024, she made her U.S. debut with a headlining set in New York City. “Headlining a sold-out event in NYC was surreal. The crowd was incredible, and I let myself get carried away by the energy.”
Cloudy blends hard, melodic, and dark elements into a unique techno sound. Her sets are high-energy, spontaneous, and full of emotional highlights. She never plans ahead but instead reads the crowd and goes with the flow. “That’s how something special always happens.”
With her meteoric rise and unique style, Cloudy is one of the most promising newcomers on the international techno scene. Her passion, dedication, and instinct for music make her an artist to watch.
