From intimate underground gatherings to packed main rooms, ISAbella has become a leading figure in today’s global electronic scene. As co-founder of the celebrated LGBTQ+ party, platform and collective MARICAS, she has crafted inclusive spaces that celebrate queer culture and foster connection both on and off the dancefloor. Her impact, however, extends far beyond the city – ISAbella is now a powerful presence on the international electronic music circuit, known for emotionally charged sets that blend house and techno into deeply transformative dancefloor journeys. Originally from Cali, Colombia, ISAbella found her creative home in Barcelona, where she co-founded MARICAS in 2018—a party that quickly evolved into a multidisciplinary platform and record label. In 2020, she released her debut EP Audio Exótica on MARICAS Records and launched the livestream series The Art of Staying at Home, which offered a lifeline of connection and joy during lockdown. As a producer, ISAbella continues to explore hypnotic and percussive sonic landscapes that reflect her Latin American roots and club sensibilities. Her music has been featured on respected imprints like Peach Discs and MARICAS Records, with tracks that balance raw emotional intensity and bold rhythmic energy—further solidifying her voice as a singular artist in the global scene. Her reach has since gone global, with standout performances at world-renowned festivals like Primavera Sound, Glastonbury, Sónar, Dekmantel, Dimensions and Lentekabinet. On the club circuit, she’s brought her distinctive sound to iconic, legendary venues including Berghain, Fabric, Nitsa and Fold. Beyond the decks, ISAbella continues to push for visibility and liberation within the scene—championing a vision of club culture that is radical, joyful and deeply human.often with Roza Terenzi, Miss Parker, Jennifer Loveless, none of them here that night
