DIANA KHIVA (UA)

Diana Khiva is a Ukrainian DJ and producer from Kharkiv, based in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Working across melodic house & techno and tech house, she combines expressive
melodies, driving grooves and vocal elements, shaping her sets around a sense of
euphoria and an emotional connection with the dancefloor.
Her musical background spans singing, dance and piano, followed by her first production
experiments in FL Studio. Before stepping behind the decks, she worked as a dancer in
Kharkiv’s clubs, experiencing club culture from the dancefloor.
Diana first explored DJing in 2018 before taking a break. After the outbreak of the
full-scale war in Ukraine and her relocation to Lithuania, she returned to it as a personal
passion and a source of grounding. In 2022, an invitation from her DJ school to perform
at Mistika marked the beginning of regular appearances at clubs and private events.
Derived from her surname, Khiva represents a more personal chapter in her artistic
journey. Her tracks often begin with rhythms or musical fragments that emerge in
dreams and take shape in the studio. Through her music, she hopes to create moments
in which listeners can recognise something of themselves.
Her early releases include “Ancient Sahana” on her own DBM Records imprint. She is
currently preparing new original material to present at Amsterdam Dance Event
