You can find lush melodies, hypnotic basslines and infectious energy radiating all throughout the club environment. Her style is a device to transcend all dimensions on the dancefloor using grooves and animated synth lines.
Since her move to Berlin, she has expanded and formulated her laced with groove affinity by joining the seminal underground queer party Mala Junta as their latest resident. She has also been curating ‘Black Metropolis’ at Tresor, featuring an all black line up, continuing her mission to highlight the origins of techno.
