He has the sensational ability to take listeners on intriguing journeys, effortlessly weaving links between different genres, eliciting smiles and a desire to dance. His raw energy and moving selections have been showcased in his monthly show on the London online radio station NTS and on dance floors around the world. He has already played at countless prestigious venues and festivals around the world such as Fabric, Nitsa, De School, Lofi, Lowlands, Dekmantel, Pitch in Melbourne, Australia, and AVA in Belfast, Ireland, we are sure that Carista is on the right track to become a familiar name for everyone. It made music lovers and tastemakers dizzy when his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix was named Mix of the Year in 2020 and was followed by a stellar 6-month residency at the station in 2021. While she makes sure to stay in touch with her fan base during the last few challenging years, she continues to contribute significantly to the music community by always being herself. Her label and platform United Identities has been critical in her journey to curate and share music. Some years ago, in her mission to connect lovers of contemporary music, Carista started the club night and the music label. In the process, he has interacted with many unknown and surprising local artists, maintaining an honest and kind interest in everyone he meets. Carista helped Amsterdam online radio RRFM, setting their musical DNA as a former music manager since its early days in 2020. She was the musical director of Celestial Space and has curated events for cultural institutions such as the Centraal Museum in her curriculum. It can certainly be said that Carista seems to have a clear expertise in care and advice, taking it to a new level while discovering exciting tracks never heard before by global artists along the way. All of these experiences contributed not only to his exceptional musical taste and a keen eye for identifying new talent, but they also inspired his musical production process. After a long period of quiet refinement, he released his first single 'Aisa's Dream', a dreamy and introverted fusion of his wide range of musical influences and experiences in 2020. “Modern Intimacy Volume 1", his first double vinyl compilation album for United Identities, is an attractive and avant-garde selection that highlights emerging talents from the Netherlands. After starting the compilation album, he is always looking for new musical talent and personally turns to local artists such as Thrills in +41, QUANZA and Mayo to publish on the independent music label based in Utrecht in 2021 and 2022 respectively. She is determined to give artists the same impetus she received when she started DJing in 2009 and renowned music magazines such as Mixmag, DJmag and the Dutch media 3voor12 have recognized Carista, her remarkable work at United Identities and her roster of artists for creating their utopian world and narrative within the music industry. Following the wave, Carista was the star of the Nike x Patta campaign for the collaborative Air Max 1 that was released between brands together with Skepta, Mo Farah, Little Simz and directed by renowned directors Steve McQueen and Mahaneela. His interview with Dazed sheds light on the project and on how to build lasting creative careers. After being referred to by Mixmag as a rising star in 2018, Carista has proven to be an unstoppable force with her charismatic and contagious style built on the delightful chemistry and response she draws from the crowd. As demonstrated in Boiler Room's numerous performances with the AVA festival, Dekmantel and United Identities. These live performances have naturally been transferred to a mix for Boiler Room on Apple Music. After receiving the prestigious and independent Gieskes-Strijbis Podium Award in 2021, which recognized his 'strong commitment and great perseverance', who knows what the future holds for the head of United Identities. One thing is certain; he is preparing to do more shows in 2022, such as Primavera Sound, Tomorrowland, Lente Kabinet, Best Kept Secret Festival, and to perform more intimate underground shows. Carista has certainly left us with a strong desire for something else. With a rapidly growing fanbase, he shows no signs of slowing down and will continue to create and curate amazing music.
