    the whole biography
    Drawing from Detroit’s foundational influence and the darker edges of contemporary European club music, she crafts immersive, tension-driven sets built on heavy percussion, layered textures, and driving low-end energy. Her approach to DJing centers on narrative and atmosphere, creating long-form journeys where tracks dissolve into one another through mounting pressure and cathartic release. Originally developing her craft in Boston through close collaboration with the INFRA collective, KXAH became deeply involved in the underground DIY circuit before relocating to New York City. During that time, she co-founded the Aversion event platform and label, helping build collaborative events and releases alongside collectives and artists from across the US and Europe, including Detroit Techno Militia, BCCO, Maison Fauna, and Uncoiled. Though no longer involved with the platform, the experience helped shape her approach to underground culture, collaboration, and independent artist infrastructure. Beyond the club, KXAH’s work extends deeply into experimental listening culture and interdisciplinary curation. Previously curating for Silence Please, a high-fidelity speaker building company and immersive listening showroom in New York, where she programmed and hosted experimental ambient sessions centred around intentional listening and sound system culture. Working within the showroom’s acoustically focused environment, she curated performances and listening experiences featuring artists such as Neel, Function, Amelia Holt, Amma Atteria and other experimental live performers, vinyl selectors, and sound artists. The series explored the intersection of ambient music, spatial sound, psychoacoustics, and deep listening, reflecting KXAH’s ongoing interest in the emotional and physical impact of sound beyond the dancefloor. Her independently curated “Fight Club” events further expanded this community-driven approach. Hosted inside a fighting gym under the motto “Fighters Not Lovers,” the series created a platform highlighting female and multidisciplinary creatives, fostering collaboration between DJs, visual artists, designers, performers, and emerging talent within underground communities. As a performer, KXAH has appeared at influential venues and underground institutions across New York, Detroit, Minneapolis, and the East Coast, including Basement, Paragon, Marble Bar, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Good Room, Refuge, and Leland City Club. She has also performed at festivals including The Great Beyond and Techtoit. In March 2026, KXAH released “The State Of The Mind” through Amsterdam-based label and collective Donker as part of the compilation DNKRVA004, a release featuring female artists from across the international underground electronic scene, with proceeds supporting breast cancer awareness and research initiatives in the Netherlands.

    the whole biography
    VenuX has always expressed his enthusiastic passion for music and the craft behind it. His interest in techno dance music began after the vampire rave theme from the action classic film, "Blade" and from there, he spent years exploring the realm of techno music as his interest grew more in-depth. He listened to a lot of harder and fast pounding techno DJs and artists that he became inspired and wanted to create his own craft. Getting into DJing in 2014, VenuX's DJ sets have been well received as he started in Chicago, playing for two local podcasts, art shows for 6 years, TwitchCon and now merging his way in New York City, where he now resides and continues to thrive. Growing in his sound and in his craft, his inspiration comes from Tim Burton and SNTS, creating haunting and horror ambient experimental sounds in his music while creating uncompromising hard industrial kicks and fast rhythms. He has created several singles and now a first EP titled "STAND" which will soon be released. VenuX has a lot to deliver so there is no holding bac and with the energy he gives, he knows how to connect with the audience through his craft and his infectious dance moves. There's no doubt that he will land the success he deserves.
