FORMAT 11YR: Anetha / Blawan / Pariah / AADJA / Measure Divide

May 9th // 11 years in, still moving forward. For this milestone, we bring together five artists who have shaped the present and continue to carve out what’s next. Anetha’s sound is sharp, driving, and instinctual, balancing acid-laced intensity with precision. Her work on Mama Told Ya has built a space for collaboration and experimentation, with It’s Okay to Cry pushing that vision even further. Blawan’s impact on techno is undeniable, his catalog shifting with each release. From Hanging Out the Birds on Ternesc to BouQ on XL Recordings, his sound remains deeply physical, evolving without ever losing its raw energy. Pariah’s productions move with depth and control, whether solo or alongside Blawan as Karenn. His Caterpillar EP refines the tactile, hardware-driven sound he’s been crafting through Sheworks and Houndstooth, always expanding his reach. AADJA exists in her own space, fusing rapid-fire rhythms with spectral vocals. Constantly shifting yet unmistakably her own, her music has carved a unique space in modern techno since Thought Dealer.
