  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 own biography

  the whole biography

  Veronica Vasicka is a NYC native: a photographer, musician, DJ and founder of the epic record label and on-line music resource Minimal Wave. As one of the founding members of East Village Radio, she managed the station during its pirate days and began collecting obscure and long forgotten gems that fell somewhere between the Cold Wave, Post-Punk, Industrial and Synth-pop genres. Not knowing what to classify these bands as, she coined the genre Minimal Wave and set up the website www.minimalwave.com as an online resource to share her finds with the rest of the world. The response to the website was huge and shortly after its launch, Veronica began tracking these artists down and re-issuing their work on the Minimal Wave label. Most of these bands recorded extremely limited copies of their work in their basements and shared their work with the world via John Peel's radio show and a handful of underground music mailings. The music released on the label ranges stripped down, D.I.Y. synth-pop to pioneering industrial electronics. In addition to running Minimal Wave, Veronica launched the Cititrax in 2008 (www.minimalwave.com/releases/cititrax) label as way to expose newer synth-based acts. She DJs monthly in her hometown, New York City, and around the world, as well as having hosted a weekly radio show from 6-8pm ET on East Village Radio for 10 years. She now hosts a monthly show on Red Bull Radio called This Side of Nowhere. She has curated and released over 100 albums now, amongst them were two highly lauded compilations: The Minimal Wave Tapes: Volumes 1 and 2 which were picked up, released and distributed by Stones Throw Records. Veronica's DJ sets range from raw, danceable industrial electronic to cold wave fused with mutant house and underground techno. She likes to tell a story when spinning and to teach the crowd about the roots of electronic music. She has a fantastic talent for synthesizing her influences into an unforgettable night of dancing.

  the whole biography

  ONYVAA stands at the forefront of techno’s new generation, channeling a timeless spirit and fusing classic roots with a vision built for what’s next. She’s delivered modular live performances and high-impact DJ sets on iconic stages including Awakenings, Tomorrowland, Creamfields, Printworks, EDC, Drumsheds, Fabric London, Rex Club, Circoloco, Amnesia Ibiza, HÏ ibiza, and many more, fueling her steady rise across the global dance music landscape. Raised in California and shaped by years in the European underground, ONYVAA channels the soul of techno, the warmth of house, and euphoria of old school trance, fused into a sound that doesn’t follow trends or rules. Her sets move with intention and feeling, never formulaic, shaped by sensing the energy and reading the room in real time. Whether behind the decks or performing live with her modular setup, she builds immersive, rhythm-led journeys intended not just to ignite the dancefloor but to elevate the collective state. Her productions have landed on respected labels including Charlotte de Witte’s KNTXT and Richie Hawtin’s Plus 8, reflecting a sound that is stripped back, driving, and built for movement, with every element placed with intent. She has toured globally alongside de Witte and has received support from top-tier selectors like Carl Cox and Laurent Garnier. Hawtin has described ONYVAA as “the future of techno,” a co-sign that speaks to both her craft and her potential. With early recognition as Best Newcomer at the DJ Awards in Ibiza, her rise is undeniable, and ONYVAA’s next chapter is just beginning.
