DJ KellyA

Darkwave DJ hailing from Pittsburgh, PA Hi, I'm DJ KellyA, and I'm a goth DJ. I believe in "mood matching."

I play slinky darkwave, gothic rock, and post-punk, with the occasional dash of synth pop and old-school industrial...and occasionally some electro swing. I'm very lyric-focused and I'm drawn to emotionally resonant music. I'm passionate about discovering and exposing new music, and committed to the responsibility of a DJ to help move a scene forward. From 1997-2002, I was a resident at Ceremony,

a weekly goth/industrial night in Pittsburgh. Some of my guest appearances over the years have been at The Batcave in New York City, Dracula's Ball in Philadelphia, Catacomb in D.C., Revelations in Richmond, The Phantasy in Cleveland, The Secret Room in Atlanta, and Sanctuary in Salt Lake City. My most recent residency was at Obsidian at the Lava Lounge in Pittsburgh, PA, from January to December, 2015. Since then, I mainly host my own special events, with occasional guest appearances.

I had a lovely time last night at Treasure Presents: LSGM 30 - a celebration of Low Sunday Ghost Machine at Smalls Cafe! Thanks to Manny Theiner for inviting me, Lowsunday and company for their warmth and charm, Elaina for serving up drinks and keeping things going, Cafe manager Greg Ketteman for helping it all happen, Smalls owner Liz Berlin for letting it all happen and stopping by to visit, Amadea for a relaxing opening DJ set, and DJ Huck Finn for saving the day with a longer-than-anticipated, very fun set of dark new wave and post-punk.

Sadly, I got all set up and soundchecked, only to have last-minute technical difficulties that prevented me from DJing, but I just finished recording the set I intended to play. Click to listen to it now on Mixcloud!
