About
MK - Vinyl Mixtress

I'm MK — not great at the whole bio thing. I like too many things to fit neatly into a box. Always have. I'm a professional Jane-of-all-trades who's lived many lives in many places, and I'm endlessly curious about the world and everything in it.

Vinyl Mixtress began as a home for my love of vinyl and samples. But in March 2026, it got remixed — into an eclectic journal that explores all the things I care about. Think of it as a mixtape, but instead of just music, it's life.

Don't miss the mix.

New essays on culture, sound, and everything in between. No spam, just the good stuff.
