Previously known as one half of Sicaria Sound, Mia Koden has forged her own identity and career. Based in South London, the South Sudanese and British music producer and DJ, spreads her love for global music through working across heritage, culture and community projects.

Merging her love for forward thinking 140 and high energy bass and percussion heavy productions, this next chapter sees her moving towards a more genreless focus. Her 2022 multi-genre 100% production mix, Made by Mia Koden, was a showcase of her wide spanning talent. In the same year, her well received debut release “Hot Take / I Did”, is an exploration of dance music with 2-step, UK steppas, electro and dub all featuring.

We’re thrilled to be welcoming her to South East London’s Corsica Studios for a deep dive into the Queen of Dubstep’s creative process.
