    the whole biography
    This pint-sized UK techno DJ and producer has been creating music since 2007 and DJing for many years more. Rebekah's music can be deep, dark and mysterious as well as hard, direct and experimental. Leaning now to the toughest sounds within hard dance has seen her evolve once again as she continues to breakdown the barriers of what is possible and where different genres can be blurred, merged and re-imagined for a post-techno revolution.
    Their RA profile lists Soma Records, Coincidence Records, CLR, Perc Trax and 6 more.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    LISAS is a DJ emerging from the New York techno scene whose expertise spans a multitude of roles. From working behind the scenes as a sound engineer in recording studios on critically acclaimed albums, performing in the band The Rapture, to producing music for fashion shows; all while repairing vintage analog synthesizers and outboard gear- her journey is diverse and captivating. Her transition to DJing was an evolution grounded in her extensive knowledge of sound, which illuminates her live sets and mixes with sharp selections that provide a driving and genre-defying ride always innately tailored to the energy of the audience. Her unique style she refers to as “post-apocalyptic arpeggiators meet mermaid synthesis” has earned her a coveted spot as resident of Le Bain in New York City.
