In their own words, KI/KI and Marlon Hoffstadt introduce ‘Losing Control’, first collab, plus details on the Zeebrugge B2B set.
This collaboration is framed by the artists themselves.
“I remember playing Marlon’s tunes in my sets before we met and me thinking ‘who is this guy?’” recalls KI/KI. “His tracks just hit differently. After we met for the first time, I pictured us making a track together where our sounds would merge – powerful, crazy but still emotional. Our first studio session followed soon after and everything fell into place. I’m incredibly thankful to share such an epic journey together and, most importantly, SO READY TO LOSE CONTROL.”
Marlon Hoffstadt added, “Even before I knew KI/KI, I wanted to make music with her. She has always been an inspiration to me and I knew it would slap if we got in the studio together.
Seeing ‘Losing Control’ unfold makes me so happy. It’s the best of both our worlds: raw, fast, emotional. And crowds just lose it every single time.
Those statements introduce ‘Losing Control’, the first joint single from KI/KI and Marlon Hoffstadt, also known as DJ Daddy Trance. They wrote and produced the track together, focusing on the ecstatic moment when a dancefloor fully lets go. The release was announced at Dour Festival in Belgium last month and arrives today via Capitol Records in partnership with MC3.
Next, the partnership moves onstage. On Sunday, August 10, the two will perform their inaugural B2B, bringing an extended five hour set to Zeebrugge Beach on the North Sea in Belgium. The crowd is set at 20,000, and tickets sold out within minutes. See below for artist itineraries.
The news also arrives alongside a snapshot of KI/KI’s wider impact. She crosses from acid techno to trance and from queer underground spaces to international festival platforms. Recent markers include selling out 20,000 capacity shows, being named a Spotify Global Equal Ambassador, a DJ Mag cover during Amsterdam Dance Event, and making history as the first woman to win the Dutch Edisons Pop Award. Her ‘5 HOURS NYC’ sold in 30 seconds, while a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix and a headline b2b with Job Jobse at Lowlands further cement presence across underground and mainstage circuits.
