the whole biography
When she left her hometown of Rabat at 18 years old to study engineering in Lyon, Jennifer’s life took an unexpected turn after experiencing techno music for the first time at Le Sucre: it was love at first sight. Immersing herself into the club culture, she allowed herself to ascend, becoming Vel. Returning full-circle to, she is resident at Le Sucre in Lyon since 2022. Vel’s sound pulses with life, driven by the primal force of percussion and infused with a distinctly womanly energy. Her techno is a harmonious blend of power and grace, where thunderous drums collide with ethereal whispers, invoking both strength and sensuality. These beats, deeply rooted in the ancient rhythms of her heritage, are paired with celestial voices that seem to echo from another realm. The divine feminine radiates through every track, shaping her music into a living force that captivates the senses. During her sets, Vel fearlessly explores diverse genres, from Trance to Ambient, breaking BPM constraints and creating a dynamic interplay between the raw and the refined—an alchemist of sound and rhythm. Vel has quickly risen through the ranks of the music scene, earning respect and mentorship from industry icons like Anetha and In Aeternam Vale. Her releases trace the evolution of her blossoming artistry, with three standout EPs—Who by Fire (2020) on Unusual Records, He Took One Cliché (2021), and Era L (2022) on XX LAB—alongside numerous impactful tracks for various compilations, including her signature piece, You Taste Like Zaatar. Building on the growing strength of her live performances, Vel is about to make waves with her debut album, There is Always a Solution, on Mama Told Ya in fall 2024. 2024 has been a milestone year for Vel. She stood out with live performances at Berghain, Nuits Sonores, DGTL, and a euphoric B2B at Stone Techno alongside Anetha. Beyond France, Vel’s journey has taken her across Europe and further afield, with appearances at renowned venues like Basement (New York), RSO (Berlin), Rex Club (Paris), and E1 (London). This year also marked her first Australasian tour, where she left her rhythmic imprint in cities like Seoul, Taipei, Sydney, and Melbourne, spreading her magic across the globe. A true queen of percussion and a master of sonic subtlety, Vel’s music is a reflection of her fierce yet graceful energy. Each track she crafts, each performance she delivers is a delicate balance of raw power and refined emotion. Emotionally charged and driven by mighty high-kicks, her music is crafted with meticulous attention to sound design, channeling fresh energy into every track. Vel has firmly established herself as one of the most exciting names in the scene. You too will be seduced—it’s Vel at first sight.Their RA profile lists Boysnoize Records, Warok, NEUROM Records, Unusual Records and 6 more.often with SUMME, ROBUS, DINA, none of them here that night
