Amsterdam-based record label and collective DONKER presents [DNKRVA005] Curated by Amphia, its fifth various artists compilation and first release on vinyl, arriving on 7 August 2026. Developed alongside Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist and DJ Amphia, the project brings together fifteen FLINTA artists through a curation built around creative freedom rather than a single defined sound.
The compilation was not created around a specific genre or direction. Instead, each artist was invited to contribute with complete freedom, allowing every track to maintain its own character while naturally existing alongside the others. The release features contributions from Cia Rebeck, Khrom, HSOP, NARA, Zvrra, Dashkaran, Gloria Rose, PHARRISM, CITYTRONIX, gia genesis, Vile featuring Mizu, peachlyfe, Ne/Re/A and HEZEN.
Among the tracks featured in the compilation, KEYI Magazine previously premiered five contributions that highlight the diverse approaches within [DNKRVA005] Curated by Amphia.
Italian-born, London-based artist NARA presents ‘Silentio’, continuing her exploration of tense, hypnotic and emotionally charged soundscapes.
Drawing inspiration from early rave energy and contemporary underground textures, NARA’s work balances industrial pressure, groove and cinematic depth with a precise approach.
<Zvrra – She Became Her>
Zvrra – ‘She Became Her’, a track created from a feeling of euphoria and connection. Known for her wide-ranging approach across techno, house and experimental music, Zvrra channels the feeling of comfort, self-acceptance and supportive community into this contribution.
<Vile – Portrait of a lady on Fire (ft. Mizu)>
Vile featuring Mizu offer ‘Portrait of a Lady on Fire’, a collaborative piece inspired by the film of the same name and its themes of the female gaze, love and care between women.
Beginning with Vile’s beat production and Mizu’s cello performance, the track developed into a detailed collaboration where rhythm, melody and emotion meet. Vile’s immersive approach combines intense rhythms, industrial textures and dark melodic elements, while Mizu’s practice explores transformation and the possibilities of self through sound.
<HSOP – Malevolent Touch>
Amsterdam-based artist and DONKER partner HSOP contributes ‘Malevolent Touch’, a dark and forward-driving track shaped by sci-fi influences and a constant sense of movement. Moving between darker rhythms, broken structures and unexpected turns, HSOP’s production reflects the deeper side of the sound she has helped develop through DONKER.
<Ne_Re_A – Question your reality>
Closing KEYI Magazine’s premiere series for the compilation, Spanish DJ and producer Ne/Re/A presents ‘Question your reality’. A long-standing figure within Brooklyn’s techno ecosystem, Ne/Re/A brings her energetic and timeless approach to the project. Built around shadowy textures and rolling synth arpeggios, the track explores a journey of discovery and awakening, gradually building momentum as it moves beyond the illusions of everyday routine.
As the curator behind the project, Amphia brings together their experience as a multidisciplinary artist and DJ based in Berlin.
Alongside these contributions, [DNKRVA005] Curated by Amphia features works from Dashkaran, Gloria Rose, PHARRISM, CITYTRONIX, gia genesis, peachlyfe and HEZEN, bringing together fifteen distinct voices across the compilation. All profits generated through the release will be donated to DGWWFT, a trans-led foundation supporting access to gender-affirming care in the Netherlands.
For DONKER, this release marks an important step as its first vinyl project. Built through trust, collaboration and the creative freedom given to each artist, [DNKRVA005] Curated by Amphia represents the label’s ongoing commitment to independent expression, community and diverse artistic perspectives.
