Noncompliant Details

Alias of DJ Shiva: raw, hardware-based techno from a 20+ year veteran DJ based in the Midwest U.S.

For over 20 years, Noncompliant (aka DJ Shiva) has brought a multitude of techno flavors to dancefloors far and wide. From the deepest to the darkest techno, she is a purveyor of variety in both music and technique. Her technical skills on the decks are highly respected, but her truest talent lies in her knack for contrast and composition.

Her musical output is known for its drive and grit; each tune a slice of machine funk with a layer of dirt thrown on top. Her latest project as Noncompliant takes a hardware-based approach that refreshes her sound palette while maintaining her goal of pure dancefloor destruction. For the last four years, her biweekly internet show SUBterror Radio featured both her techno selections and guest mixes from techno talent the world over.

From her latest productions on Valence and Flash Recordings to her recent appearance at Berlin's Panorama Bar, Noncompliant is expanding her sonic reach and bringing her energetic take on techno to audiences everywhere.
