Simina Grigoriu

Simina Grigoriu, born Ana Simina Kalkbrenner in Bucharest in 1981, operates as a Romanian DJ and producer who launched her recording career in February 2012. The Bucharest-based artist owns Kuukou Records, her own imprint that serves as a primary outlet for her productions. Over the past decade, she has built a catalog of 41 releases across multiple labels including Off Recordings, We Are The Brave, Form, and MIR Music.

Grigoriu produces peak time driving techno and tech house, with her sound spanning from minimal deep tech to melodic house and techno. Her releases on We Are The Brave and Off Recordings demonstrate her ability to craft driving, club-focused tracks that work across different points in a DJ set. The tempo range of her productions varies from deeper 120-125 BPM house cuts to harder-hitting 128-132 BPM peak time techno, with her melodic house and techno releases offering a more atmospheric approach suitable for both opening and closing sets. Her output through Kuukou Records showcases her evolution from minimal deep tech origins toward more driving, peak time oriented productions.
