AKUA
Akua’s boundary pushing sound is keeping the Brooklyn underground alive and vibrant. Her signature style of super-sonic rhythm shifters takes you on a light speed journey through brain-scrambling soundscapes that are truly exhilarating.
Her approach to DJing stems from her distinct appreciation of the more freakish strains of techno bubbling out of the US underground in the ’90s. Akua's finesse for blending machine funk frequencies reflects her impressive research into the underground tradition, infusing old school techniques with a new school twist. Over the past few years, the Discwoman affiliate has established herself as a singular force in NYC through organizing parties and regularly gracing the decks at local haunts Bossa Nova Civic Club and Nowadays. She's taken her sound to packed dance floors in key cities across North America and recently delivered an explosive set at this year's Sustain-Release Festival. In 2019, she's hopped across the pond to present her hyper-charged selections to European crowds with explosive debuts at Saule and De School and appearances at new essential techno events Spielraum, Endurance and Flesh In Tension.
With her performances rapidly gaining acclaim all over, Akua's unbridled sound proves that she's not afraid to redefine techno on her own terms. Check her out:
