CARISTA is a trailblazing DJ, producer, and curator hailing from Utrecht, the Netherlands. Recognized for her genre-blurring selections and electrifying energy, she has quickly distinguished herself as one of the most compelling figures in contemporary electronic music. Since emerging onto the scene, CARISTA has become acclaimed for her wide-ranging sets that traverse house, techno, broken beat, soulful grooves, UK bass, and global sounds.

Her signature style—embracing both underground rarities and forward-thinking releases—has seen her grace the stages of renowned clubs and festivals across Europe, such as Dekmantel, Panorama Bar, and Glastonbury. Deeply connected to her roots and community, CARISTA is also the founder and curator of United Identities, a platform and label dedicated to promoting underrepresented talent and boundary-pushing sounds from the Netherlands and beyond. Her forward-facing musical vision is matched only by her commitment to uplifting others; whether through radio residencies, event curation, or high-profile mixes for platforms like BBC Radio 1 and Boiler Room, she fosters spaces for both emerging and established artists to shine.

CARISTA’s rise has been powered by her uncompromising authenticity, nuanced taste, and heartfelt approach. With every set and project, she continues to build bridges—between genres, cultures, and generations—leaving a vibrant mark on global dance music culture.
