Akua has cemented herself as one of the most distinctive techno DJs coming out of the U.S. in recent years, shining brightly at the forefront of a new generation of techno artists who are reviving the innovative and rebellious spirit of techno’s enduring velocity through their work. Her practice is a passionate dedication to archiving & activating timeless strains of raw and mechanized expression - leading the new school of North American machine funk, while harkening back to the revolutionary sonics of Detroit, Chicago, & New York City DJs throughout history. A recent move to Berlin, a city that has held a crucial role in the evolution of techno, has provided her with the opportunity to further develop her craft by embracing the transcontinental connection that originally ignited the inspiration for the techno movement worldwide. Her one-of-kind, no-nonsense style brings a necessary & poignant intensity to today’s dancefloors, eschewing trends of the moment and channeling the essence of techno into an authentic wavelength that’s completely intuitive to her being. This unique display of influences plays out in Akua's unrivaled sets heard around the world - from exerting her celebrated prowess behind the decks at renowned New York clubs like Basement and Nowadays, to unleashing landmark sets at Movement Detroit, Berghain FUSE Brussels, Dekmantel, Draaimolen, & FOLD London. Already seasoned on the European tour circuit, 2024 sees her career encompassing new trajectories & widening her global reach into tours through Asia & Australia. With a wealth of knowledge and expertise, she effortlessly embodies an enthralling old-school sound while keeping her finger on the pulse of contemporary producers that also embody the authentic energy of techno’s turn-of-the-century peak. As her boundless legacy steadily expands, she continues to cultivate respect and adoration from the most discerning of DJs & dancers alike through her incredible mixing finesse and constantly expanding repertoire of futureproof classics.Recently at BASEMENT, Knockdown Center, public records · often with ROBUS, Yazzus, SUMME, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Wyatt Stevens is at the forefront of a young Brooklyn scene that's taking the dance music world by storm. Alongside friends and collaborators such as AceMo, Kush Jones, and DJ Swisha, he's created a genre-agnostic movement that celebrates all facets of Black electronic music, from old-school Detroit techno to the early days of jungle, drum & bass and more modern strains of American dance music. His HAUS Of ALTR label has become a hub for this community, releasing his own material as well as his critically acclaimed AceMoMA project with AceMo, and three massive compilations that define this new generation of producers. MoMA Ready makes dance music intuitively and without orthodoxy, where techno can suddenly morph into drum & bass and back again.Techno on 44, House on 37, Jungle on 16 and Deep House on 14. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on HAUS of ALTR (2) and Paraíso (1). labels on their catalogued releasesRecently at Elsewhere, H0L0, Home Sweet Home · often with Kush Jones, Dazegxd, DJ SWISHA, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Alírio started her career as a DJ in 2019 in Uberlândia, a small town in Minas Gerais - Brazil. Head behind the BAILE034 collective, she produced parties, balls and other cultural activities, promoting ballroom culture, which was rising at the time in Brazil. In 2021, she moved to São Paulo and since then has been conquering dance floors across the country. With ability to create narratives through DJ sets always full of energy, she goes through different musical genres, exploring femininity through sensual and complex beats. Her musical research highlights sounds produced by dissident artists, mainly from Latin America. In 2022, Alírio unpretentiously began the production of mashups and bootlegs, some of them became club anthems, such as the first collaboration with Guza in Unique Tribal, earning the duo an invitation to participate in the remix album of the brazilian band Noporn (Adoro Djs), celebrating 20 years of career and other collections from national and international labels such as Choccy Biccy (UK), Volquete (AR), AUX1 (ES) and TTT (BR). In 2024, the multidisciplinary label Tandera Records was born in partnership with the artists Bassan, Guza, Lady Letal and Tuxe, a platform to release music, mixes (with monthly episodes on the brazilian radio function.fm) and production of visual art. Alírio is resident of the brazilian underground parties Mamba Negra (SP), Versa (SP), Buero (SP) and already performed at prominent parties and clubs such as Baile em Chernobyl (SP/Berlin), Deseo (AR), Kode (RJ), NBOMB (PE), Silicose (MG) and Atrita (CE). This year she will make her debut in Europe at the Mamba Negra's showcase at the Whole festival (Germany) along with Cashu in August.Recently at Nowadays, BASEMENT, The Chocolate Factory · often with Roza Terenzi, ISAbella, Hyperaktivist, none of them here that night
