Mesmé
Drawing inspiration from her favorite crime fiction and neo-noir films, Mesmé's entrance into the City of Angels from the Midwest via Singapore created a rapid buzz in the LA underground, thanks to her vinyl-heavy sets, striking selections, and ability to build an intoxicating vibe from the ground up.
Described by Boiler Room as one of Los Angeles' hidden gems, she is now one of the city's most in-demand young DJs, sought after by bookers from nearly every crew and corner of the LA scene, from the city's dimly-lit lounges to its various infamous downtown warehouse parties—and for good reason. Her insatiable passion and rich knowledge of music make for a trusted and savvy artist with a broad, but distinctively moody range and "a sense of pacing that's more honed than many headlining DJs." (Resident Advisor)
As comfortable playing in a smoky lounge as she is in a sweaty warehouse, her peak-time sets feature a heady yet potent blend of deep, dusty atmospheres, experimental textures, raw bass lines, and sultry vocals layered over thumping, syncopated drums.

Mesmé's signature sets and ability to capture the imagination of her audiences have made her a beloved, and influential member of the LA circuit and beyond, landing her multiple coveted affiliations, including a residency at top LA warehouse party, Into The Woods, a monthly radio show (Mise-en-scène) on renowned independent radio station, dublab, plus personal invitations from Jamie xx, DVS1, and Ellen Allien to share the bill. She was awarded Resident Advisor's Mix of the Day twice and has been highlighted as an emerging artist on the industry radar by DJ Mag and Beatportal.
Aside from her rising career as a DJ, Mesmé is also a producer-to-watch. She made her production debut in 2020 with a sold-out five-track EP on Mall Grab's label, Steel City Dance Discs, which was quickly followed by a Boiler Room appearance alongside Boyz Noise in 2021 and a spot on the Surefire Agency roster. 2022 saw her make a massive sold-out NYC debut in the main hall of Elsewhere alongside Mall Grab, followed by a string of club and festival appearances across the country.
