DJ KellyA

Darkwave DJ hailing from Pittsburgh, PA Hi, I'm DJ KellyA, and I'm a goth DJ. I believe in "mood matching."

I play slinky darkwave, gothic rock, and post-punk, with the occasional dash of synth pop and old-school industrial...and occasionally some electro swing. I'm very lyric-focused and I'm drawn to emotionally resonant music. I'm passionate about discovering and exposing new music, and committed to the responsibility of a DJ to help move a scene forward. From 1997-2002, I was a resident at Ceremony,

a weekly goth/industrial night in Pittsburgh. Some of my guest appearances over the years have been at The Batcave in New York City, Dracula's Ball in Philadelphia, Catacomb in D.C., Revelations in Richmond, The Phantasy in Cleveland, The Secret Room in Atlanta, and Sanctuary in Salt Lake City. My most recent residency was at Obsidian at the Lava Lounge in Pittsburgh, PA, from January to December, 2015. Since then, I mainly host my own special events, with occasional guest appearances.

I had a wonderful time spinning last night at Art Party Goth Industrial Night in Morgantown, WV! They have a burgeoning goth scene there, and nurturing a community has always been near to my heart. It was such a pleasure to MC the night and to fulfill so many enthusiastic requests from eager dancers. Thanks to all who made the event possible! Here is what I played:
