    their own biography

    the whole biography
    She began her musical journey as a singer and instrumentalist in metal bands before transitioning into electronic music. In 2015, Ireen founded Under My Feet., a London-based collective and label that has become a hub for provocative exhibitions and showcases blending power electronics with experimental sounds. A decade later, she launched REVERSE at Säule Berghain, a party series dedicated to amplifying women, trans, and non-binary artists and creating uncompromised space for expression within the underground techno scene. The project has since expanded to London through a collaboration with SchneidersKeller, featuring curated workshops for FLINTA artists. Ireen bridges the worlds of experimental, electronic, and techno music as a versatile artist and resident DJ at the iconic Tresor Berlin. Her performances, known for their seamless fusion of avant-garde textures and pulsating dance rhythms, have taken her to prestigious venues like Berghain, Kraftwerk, Funkhaus, Basement NY, and FOLD London, as well as major festivals such as Atonal and CTM Vorspiel. Renowned for her genre-defying productions, Ireen collaborates with acclaimed artists including Drew McDowall of Coil, Sorcery, Chloe Lula, Infinity Division (fka Minimal Violence), and Kamikaze Space Programme. Notably, Ireen and Sorcery won the prestigious Raster open call for Soundtrack Europe 2025, with their work featured in a project associated with the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025. She also contributed to Imogen Heap's track What Have You Done to Me, further solidifying her reputation as a versatile artist who pushes creative boundaries across genres. Her discography, celebrated for its emotional depth and innovation, includes releases on labels such as Tresor Records, KR3, and Sonic Groove Experiments. Her 2020 debut LP, In The Land Of Silence, earned widespread acclaim for its evocative soundscapes of moving melodies and rumbling drones. Alongside her musical career, Ireen is actively involved in education. With support from organizations such as Polyphase and Subverted, and funding from the Berlin Music Board, she has conducted Ableton workshops specifically designed for women and non-binary individuals, empowering underrepresented communities in electronic music. Her educational initiatives have also extended to institutions like Berklee College of Music and Ramp Music Academy. Ireen's influence reaches beyond music; she is an advocate for inclusivity and innovation in the arts, continuously pushing the boundaries of leftfield electronic music.
    Their RA profile lists Tresor, Sonic Groove, Instruments Of Discipline, BITE and 4 more.

    the whole biography
    Spanish DJ and producer, Ne/Re/A, a fixture of Brooklyn's teeming techno ecosystem for more than 10 years, has a distinctly energetic approach to the genre - relentless groove and unapologetically timeless. In 2021, Ne/Re/A was named resident DJ of the Brooklyn-based queer party, MERGE, which has served as a musical home and has allowed her to explore the depths of her sonic palette alongside a sophisticated rolodex of the genre's legends. She has played alongside DVS1, Boris, Phase Fatale, Wata Igarashi, Takaaki Itoh and Ancient Methods (to name a few). She cut her teeth as the founder and resident DJ of Distrikt1, the monthly weeknight party at Brooklyn's historic Bossa Nova Civic Club. She's played reputable parties in New York - Unter, Wrecked, Bound and many nights at the city's premiere institutions in BASEMENT, Nowadays, and Paragon. She's played at Berlin's Tresor, Pornceptual, Gegen and at the iconic queer pilgrimage, Whole Festival, BULTO and Video Club in Colombia and Brutal in Mexico City. Her collaborative project, Name Names, with DC-based DJ and producer Juana explores the darker shades of her repertoire, where driving propulsive techno are at the forefront. In 2025, her prowess grows, Ne/Re/A makes her debut in Asia at Taiwan's highly-regarded Organik Festival and Seoul's Volnost, plays notable parties in New York like Wire Festival, Berlin and South America, and continues her residency with MERGE. As a producer Ne/Re/A sharply blends industrial and EBM with melodic techno into her own concoction - a heady assemblage of punch and drive. In 2025 she just released a collaborative track with Clarisa Kimskii in Phase Fatale's BITE record label.In 2024 she released two new tracks for Maison Fauna “In the Dark” and Infra “Piercing the veil”. In 2020, she released her first EP "Your World Took Your Future" on the Industrial Techno United imprint. She's remixed tracks for Alpha Sect, Rennst and throughout the years has contributed tracks to Soil, NOTT, Pildoras Tapes, Sinister Desires and Eclectic Reactions record labels.
