Polli Panda (NL)

Genrefluid, flinta DJ based in Amsterdam with a focus on groovy sound that will make you sweat. Sets focused on house (mostly vinyl), featuring Chicago, Detroit, deep, progressive, as well as get downs with techno, trance, juke, ghetto, breaks and jungle.

Polli Panda is a Slavic girl raised in the Czech Republic, who only found belonging in the art scene. She started with dance and music at the age of 3 before moving to Europe, and it has never stopped since. Finished music school and built a dance career through teaching at Dance Academy Prague. Being part of the dance company Brownies, she decided to change her life and went for dance studies in Sweden. Being isolated in a forest, she met DJing and found an art project, “Unbox It”.

Being part of the house dance community for 13 years brings her to the core understanding of what is supposed to happen on the dancefloor.

Later on, she moved to the Canary Islands and started playing at the raves, parties and clubs, discovering more of a party life and expanding her genres. Founding a queer safe space event, “We Have to Talk”, in Las Palmas and co-founding an art collective “Connection Art Event”, she stayed in Spain for 3 years. During her harder times on the island she started producing music, first with EP Poleteli, then few more later in 2025 she was released on VA of Spanish label QuickTime Records.

In 2023, she moved to Amsterdam. Since then, her sound has got more mature; she added vinyl and collected a lot of great experiences in clubs like Radio Radio, SkateCafe and more. Moving to Amsterdam also meant being closer to the art culture, so she came back to the dance community, where she is teaching classes, participating in battles and organising events. She started in the ballroom community by walking a few balls and started exploring music production for theatre and movies.
