Agent Mel will handle her bookings going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born in South Korea and raised across Germany before settling in Berlin, Kim Swim built her name blending house, trance, techno, and baile funk into high-energy sets. She&#8217;s played Boiler Room, RSO, Funkhaus, H\u00d6R, and Watergate, with residencies at DNA Club in Munich and Gotec in Karlsruhe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the production side, she&#8217;s released &#8220;Hands Up High&#8221; and &#8220;ISSA VIBE&#8221; on Hot Meal Records, plus &#8220;Floor Is Lava,&#8221; a collaboration with ANDATA. 2026 has kept her on the road, with a confirmed slot at Electric Love Festival in Salzburg this July alongside past stops at Monegros Desert Festival and Mysteryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move brings her to Apelago, the Berlin-based booking and artist agency for electronic music founded in 2009 by Nina Tillberg Grindvik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apelago has carved out a reputation as one of the genre&#8217;s key boutique players, holding a similar market share to fellow Berlin agencies Circle Booking and Triangle Agency at major festivals like Time Warp, and works closely with its roster on creative direction, not just routing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kim Swim was previously represented by Metropole Talent, another Berlin agency whose roster spans house, techno, and Latin electronic acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signing fits a broader pattern of agency movement across electronic music this year. Trance duo <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/parallel-worlds-signs-with-corson-agency-for-representation-in-north-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Parallel Worlds signed with Corson Agency for North American representation<\/a>, uniting both members&#8217; solo deals under one roof, while Ibiza collective <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/melon-bomb-signs-with-radius-artists-for-worldwide-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Melon Bomb moved to Radius Artists for worldwide touring<\/a> as its residency slots ramped up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like those deals, Kim Swim&#8217;s signing comes during a period of genuine festival momentum rather than a career reset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn&#8217;t a rebuild; it&#8217;s a rising artist trading one Berlin agency for another with a broader international footprint heading into festival season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Apelago, adding a genre-blurring, internationally-raised artist with real 2026 booking momentum fits its pattern of backing acts who don&#8217;t sit neatly in one electronic subgenre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will Apelago push Kim Swim beyond Europe and into North American or Asian festival slots? Does her genre-fluid style make her easier or harder to slot onto festival lineups built around a single sound? Could this signing signal Apelago leaning further into rising, cross-genre talent rather than established headliners?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kim Swim, the genre-fluid DJ and producer who ditched law school for the decks, has signed with Apelago for worldwide live music and touring representation.
