Perhaps no artist embodies the rebellious spirit of techno as fiercely as Noncompliant. Raised in small-town Indiana on the sounds of 80s synth pop and punk rock, she fell in love with dance music at barnyard raves and warehouse techno parties, before making a name for herself in the 90s Midwest rave scene under her formed artist alias, DJ Shiva.
Now three decades later and a name change, Noncompliant has firmly cemented her status as a legend in the Midwest techno landscape with her bold music and her raw, electrifying sets. Named one of Mixmag’s Top 20 Breakthrough DJs in 2017, she has performed at venues like Berghain and Tresor in Berlin, Smartbar in Chicago, and De School in Amsterdam, as well as at festivals such as Unsound and Movement Detroit. A techno enthusiast who is devoted to share her craft with dance floors worldwide, Noncompliant has also channeled her love for the genre through her own label, Giant Arm, which showcases her signature style of raw and unapologetic techno.
KXAH (Kristina) is a NYC-based DJ, producer, and community organizer known for her hypnotic, percussion-heavy sets blending techno, electro, acid, noise, and EBM. Her sound is raw, high-tension, and deeply baseline-driven. Beyond the booth, she fosters community through her “Fight Club” series, uplifting and connecting female creatives in unconventional spaces. With a growing presence across the U.S. and features in publications like MixMag and Beatport, KXAH is set to debut her EP this year.
3DDY is an emerging underground techno artist based in Brooklyn, NY. He began DJing as a personal hobby, carving out time for himself after the birth of his son, Milan. Over two years of honing his craft, he developed a signature style that’s now ready to be shared with the world.
Deeply influenced by the Berlin school of techno, 3DDY’s sets feature a distinctive blend of raw, deep, and hypnotic elements. His music embodies a duality: the hypnotic aspects encourage introspection, reflecting on the challenges of everyday life, while the groovy rhythms uplift and energize, inviting listeners to let go and lose themselves in the moment.
3DDY’s latest mix, Roots & Wings, recently debuted on SoundCloud, showcasing his deep commitment to the sound rooted in Berlin's underground. Beyond that, it signals his readiness to take flight as an artist, blending introspection with movement to create a powerful dance floor experience.
