    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Bianca Oblivion lives and breathes Los Angeles. Born and raised in the City of Angels, the globe-trotting, genre-hopping, hard-hustling artist—who was recently named by Mixmag as one of 2023’s breakthrough DJs of the year and is also part of Beatport Next’s class of of 2024—is unbound by dance music orthodoxy, opting instead for an “anything goes as long as it bangs” approach that reflects the unique cultural palette of her hometown. Growing up Mexican in LA, Bianca heard G-funk blasting out of cars and cumbia coming out of the stereo at backyard BBQs, and during her teen years, she started spending her nights soaking up electro, house and all sorts of heavy bass music, most often in the city’s vibrant underground club and warehouse rave scene. She’s still raving today, and as a DJ, she’s intent on connecting the dots between seemingly disparate sounds, as likely to drop dancehall, reggaeton, hip-hop, R&B or even a cheeky pop edit as she is to unleash a torrent of gut-rumbling grime, dubstep, hardcore or some other bass-heavy sound. Bianca is the rare selector who can tear the roof off just about anywhere, and in the past few years, she’s showcased her skills not only at world-renowned festivals like Bass Coast, Glastonbury, Fusion and Boomtown, but also at iconic clubs like London’s fabric and Barcelona’s Razzmatazz. Still, it’s Warp Mode—the LA party she throws alongside fellow bass fiends Star Eyes and AK Sports—where she’s most comfortable, and not just behind the decks. Aside from providing a consistent platform for femme/non-binary, queer and POC artists, Warp Mode has become a beacon for low-end freakers from Southern California and beyond, which is why its unique brand of neon-streaked mayhem was broadcast to the world via an unforgettable Boiler Room takeover in 2023. Away from the dancefloor, Bianca also heads up Club Aerobics, a label and monthly radio show that’s been airing on NTS since 2017. And while she has a fantastic ear for other people’s tunes, she’s also made plenty of bangers of her own, flexing her production skills on releases for labels like N.A.A.F.I, Magic City and Future Bounce. Tracks like “Sinais,” “Eski Rave,” and “Selecta” have been rinsed on both sides of the Atlantic, and her song “EZ 4 Me” even landed in EA Sports FC 24, the latest installment of the newly rebranded FIFA video game series. DJ, producer, promoter… Bianca Oblivion does it all, spreading joy and always giving bassbins a serious workout. Keeping up with her is no easy task, but anyone who’s lucky enough to catch her would be well advised to sit back and let her go to work.
