This emerging hypnotic DJ has been working her way through the underground warehouse circuit around the world from Atlanta, to Detroit, to Mexico City. NEKTER gained her notoriety after winning the 2021 REFORM DJ Contest hosted by 6AM Group and Synthetik Minds. She cut her teeth playing warehouses with the Berlin/LA based all-female techno collective Fallen Angel Techno. She is often seen on local lineups for the most prominent underground techno groups in LA such as 6AM, Dirty Epic, WORK, Incognito and Synthetik Minds and has shared the stage with industry heavy-hitters such as Ben Block, D.Dan, Coyu, The Advent, and Shlomo. Now an official resident of Commonsense Records in Mexico City and the newest 2024 WORK resident in Los Angeles, NEKTER finds herself sharing the decks with even more insane techno talent. NEKTER aims to shake things up and represent the next generation of techno DJs while paying respectful homage to the legends who helped pave the way for the underground techno community. More importantly, NEKTER's focus is on the experience of the sound journey as it relates to spiritual exploration. Her 10+ years of yoga and meditation practice has landed her at a place where she no longer wishes to have a boundary between the banging techno and consciousness observation. Her sets are designed with the purpose of diving into one's subconscious, making friends with one's shadows, and feeling sensations in every part of the body. NEKTER calls these experiences a techno sound bath. It is imperative to her that the journey be healing, embodied, and somatic as well as being fun as fuck. "I want the experience to be intellectually stimulating as well as physically." With musical influences from labels like PoleGroup, Faut Section, Edit Select and more, NEKTER fills any club or warehouse with deep hypnotic beats, groovy melodies, mind-melting frequencies and fat slammin' bass. Whether she's opening, closing, or headlining, expect nothing short of a proper hypnotic techno experience with NEKTER behind the decks. ************************************************ CONNECT is designed to be a safe place where Techno lovers of all shades can come together and enjoy our sonic escape we are providing.
