Korolova, the Ukrainian DJ slamming her way to the top of the melodic house and techno game, is lit AF right now! We’re talking over 1.24 million monthly listeners on Spotify and sick numbers on Beatport with tracks like “Nightshapes” and “Reactive” going off. Born Olga Korolova in Chernihiv, she didn’t start out on the decks—she was vibing with the piano at age six and killing it as a hip-hop dancer before getting hooked on electronic beats after a Gabriel & Dresden gig. That’s when she knew: DJ life was the move.
Fast forward to 2011, Korolova steps onto the scene at Beach Club 117 in Ukrainian Crimea. By 2022, she’s killing it globally, flexing on the main stages of Tomorrowland and EDC Las Vegas, and pulling up to Space Miami and Hi Ibiza like a boss. She’s not just spinning tracks, though. With over 50 countries in her rearview, she’s got collabs with the likes of Jan Blomqvist, Spada, and Tube & Berger, putting her on the map as a GOAT in the melodic techno world. Tracks like “Be Strong” are straight fire, clocking almost 30 million streams on Spotify.
On Beatport, she’s no stranger to the top spots. Her label, Captive Soul, is her playground, doubling as a space for her and her crew to drop bangers and host events. Her radio show “Captive Soul” on Radio Marbella is the spot for all the latest slammers she’s throwing down. It’s like getting a backstage pass to Korolova’s world, where every beat hits different.
She’s not just about the music—Korolova’s got a heart, and she’s showing up for Ukraine in a big way. With the ongoing conflict, she’s been all about helping out, throwing cash towards charities that support people and animals affected by the war. That’s some real woke energy right there. And every set she drops has a little piece of home in it—she never hits the stage without the Ukrainian flag waving. As she says, “I’m not crying, you’re crying—no, actually, I am crying… these DJ fees aren’t gonna spend themselves!”
But don’t get it twisted—she’s just getting started. With an upcoming co-headlining tour with Franky Wah and some fresh tracks in the pipeline, Korolova’s set to keep pushing the envelope. Plus, she’s dipping her toes into the fashion scene, hitting up Paris Fashion Week and showing she’s got style for days. Whether she’s rocking a set or walking the runway, Korolova’s energy is unmatched.
She’s not just a DJ; she’s the CEO of her own drip, snatching clout with every move. If you haven’t caught a Korolova set yet, you’re missing out, period. She’s got the beats, the vision, and the heart to keep rising, and we’re here for every drop. Catch her latest on Beatport or Spotify, and keep up with her on socials—trust, you don’t want FOMO on this one.
