As both a vocalist and DJ, Koven’s Katie Boyle presents DJ sets that are a little different – and more technologically demanding – than a lot of electronic artists. Her on-stage setup is tailored around a need to both mix and monitor tracks, as well as sing over the top of the mix, with the ability to properly hear her own vocals as well staying tuned into the room and crowd reaction.
When it comes to monitoring, there are plenty of live or DJ setups tailored to one or other side of this – DJ gear that makes it easy to cue up tracks in a mix, or live monitors that let a vocalist hear their own bespoke mix – but not a lot that allows for switching between the two.
