  the whole biography

  A longtime fixture of Detroit's club scene, DJ Minx is often referred to as the First Lady of Wax. Her sets and productions range from deep and minimal to boisterous and funky, earning her enduring respect across the global house and techno community. Active since the early 1990s, she formed the Women on Wax collective and launched its label in 2001, amplifying the voices of Detroit’s female DJs and producers. Minx scored an underground hit with the 2003 minimal house track “A Walk in the Park”—later reissued on Richie Hawtin’s M_nus imprint—and has continued to release music that bridges Detroit’s rich history with forward-thinking club culture. Throughout her career, Minx has played pivotal roles in Detroit’s musical story: hosting Deep Space Radio on WGPR, broadcasting Steamy Windows on CJAM, holding residencies at Club Motor, and performing at every edition of the Detroit Electronic Music Festival / Movement since its inception in 2000. Her contributions were formally recognized with the Spirit of Detroit Award in 2018, and she has been honored by Mixmag and Time Out as one of the women who shaped dance music history and among the top house DJs of all time. Since 2021, Minx has embraced her voice as a proud advocate for the Black queer community. She released Purse First to benefit Detroit’s Ruth Ellis Center, where she was also immortalized in a mural celebrating LGBTQ+ leaders. Her EP Queendom on HE.SHE.THEY. and her BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix debut in 2022 cemented her global presence. Do It All Night (Planet E) showcased remixes from Carl Craig and Honey Dijon, further elevating her reach. In 2025, Minx continues to thrive as one of Detroit’s most important cultural ambassadors. She released “Blocked” on Rules Don’t Apply in February—a sharp, self-empowering anthem—and collaborated with Kevin and Dantiez Saunderson as e-Dancer on “Detroit”, an intergenerational tribute to her city’s techno legacy. She also lit up her hometown with a halftime performance for the Detroit Pistons in March 2025. International bookings remain strong, with headline festival slots and curated stages at Movement and beyond. From her roots in Detroit’s underground to her present role as a global cultural force, DJ Minx stands as a living legend: bold, soulful, and uncompromising, still shaping the future of dance music more than three decades in.

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Bridge is a Brooklyn-based DJ and performer who transforms the dancefloor into a shared stage. In her world, the audience becomes part of the spectacle, invited to shine, to feel powerful, expressive, and fully themselves. For Bridge, House and Disco are not simply genres, they are vehicles for freedom and collective celebration. Born in Italy and shaped by a global perspective, she brings a deeply rooted sound to international stages, paying homage to the Black and queer origins of the music she loves while bridging its legacy to modern dance floors. Rooted in classic and gospel house, disco, and ballroom, her sets are transportive, vocally driven experiences where presence, movement, and energy are all intentional parts of the show. Rather than following the conventional DJ-producer path, Bridge has carved a distinct journey centered on curation, performance, and storytelling. Her fluid genre-blending and magnetic stage presence have earned the attention of artists like Stacey Hotwaxxhale, Natasha Diggs, Joey Llanos, David DePino, and Barbara Tucker. Bridge is the founder of UPLIFTED, a party series rooted in joy, liberation, and the deep legacy of Black house music, and co-founder of Powerhaus, a Brooklyn-based house music collective. Her sound has been heard at Knockdown Center, Public Records, Nowadays, The Lot Radio, and more.
