Akki | Artist Spotlight: Our second Artist Spotlight is a very special one. Akki, is a tech house producer in Brooklyn by the way of Australia and Singapore. She is absolutely tearing up the NYC house scene and it's only a matter of time until she's in everyone's ears. We had the good fortune of seeing her open up for Tchami at Analog in Brooklyn and that's when we knew that we had to have her on the show.
