Prague-born, London-based Ariane V is a selector on the rise. Cutting her teeth with a stint behind the counter at Soho’s legendary Phonica Records, she quickly developed a taste for a broad range of dance music, building an enviable record collection in the process. As one of the driving forces behind Common Ground (fka Rhythm Sister), a collective/community supporting female, non-binary, and trans DJs and producers, she’s established herself as a key player in London’s music scene. Initially rooted in house & disco, over the years her sets have grown to encompass UKG, Balearic, breaks & beyond - styles she showcases on her monthly show for Peckham’s Balamii Radio. She’s a regular at many of London's best venues, either getting people dancing at the likes of Corsica Studios and Night Tales, or digging deep at audiophile spaces such as Brilliant Corners. Highlights for 2022 include shows on Hör and Rinse FM, a standout set at Love International (preserved in the form of a mix for Phonica’s Family & Friends series), and her first ventures into clubs outside of her London home turf.
