[ TORONTO ]
- INDUSTRIAL // DARK ELECTRO // DARK BASS -
Playing raves, goth clubs, festivals & beyond, Stella Maise has taken Toronto by storm! Her hard-htting, genre-blending mixes create a uniquely distinct soundscape. Her dancefloors are the place to be, and she brings a performance that is not to missed.She's established her young presence in the goth scene, with 4 goth club residencies under her belt, 2 of which are organized through her organization, Pure Camp.
Stella is also the Chair of the Electronic Committee at the JUNO Awards, so in turn of that fact, you can expect an electrifying dark synth, drum machine heavy & bass-focused set!
