Description
For her third residency night of the year, our beloved PNW rave mom Succubass has summoned Swiss techno baddie NVST and Seattle-based staple Eve Defy to join her for an evening of sub-bass sorcery.
A few words from Succubass about her curation:
I'm so excited to present my third party as part of my residency at Process. This round we've got NVST and Eve Defy.
Both of these artists have made a huge impression on me through their productions.
You know when your friends are so dialed into the sounds that make you tick? Back in 2024, my homie Tiffany (T.Wan) sent me NVST's "Tiny Mistakes Feeling Hot (Hellisnotamyth Version)." I was already a fan, but that track really cemented my deep connection to NVST as an artist. I can feel what they're laying down, and it's such a gift to be able to receive music like that as a listener. I seriously can't wait to see what they bring as a selector. They are coming to the PNW for the first time, and we need to give them the proper Process welcome.
As for Eve Defy...this is a longtime homie. We've spent countless hours dancing together on DIY dance floors throughout Seattle. I remember listening to "Rancid Crystal Viscera" and thinking: Eve makes tracks that genuinely excite them, first and foremost. You can feel that. I played it the last time I was in NYC, and watching people lose it made me wish I could transmit my eyeball feed straight to Zac. It's such a refreshing voice in an era of cut-and-paste sample collaging. They have complete command over the machines, and as a DJ, they absolutely freak it.
I'm not entirely sure where the night will take us, but the electro Venn diagram is definitely going to see some action.
Bring your helmets.

More about NVST:
Swiss DJ and producer NVST emerged from Lausanne’s free party and illegal rave circuits, a background that continues to shape a physical, high-tension approach to club music. Her sets move through breakbeat, techno, acid and industrial without settling, driven by a sharp sense of structure and rupture, where intensity builds, collapses and reconfigures in real time.
Rather than navigating genres, NVST works the dancefloor as a space of friction and release, balancing precision with instability. This approach has taken her from underground scenes to major platforms, with performances at venues and festivals such as Atonal, Garage Noord, Dekmantel, Horst Arts & Music, Positive Education, Rewire, Fiber and Montreux Jazz Festival. Touring extensively across Europe, Asia and Latin America, she continues to expand her reach internationally, with a first run of shows in Brazil in 2026 and upcoming North American appearances including Nowadays in New York and MUTEK Montréal.
She holds a residency at C12 in Brussels and is part of the extended Tresor family in Berlin, while maintaining a regular presence on the airwaves with radio residencies on Kiosk Radio and Rinse FM.
Alongside her DJ practice, NVST has developed a body of recorded work across multiple formats, including several solo and alias releases on labels such as Tresor, Dekmantel, Fabric Records, SSPB, Les Disques Magnétiques and Maloca. Her productions reflect the same tension as her sets, combining raw rhythmic structures with a controlled sense of space and progression,
In parallel, she has been progressively shifting toward live and hybrid formats. Through projects such as Drift Institute and Sixsixsevenfortyseven, she explores audiovisual performance as an extension of her club work, currently culminating in the development of her first solo live show in collaboration with visual artist Mika Oki. This new phase extends her practice beyond the DJ booth, opening up new ways of shaping sound, space and perception.
Across club performances, broadcasts and live formats, NVST builds a practice rooted in DIY culture while continuously pushing toward more complex and immersive forms.
More about Eve Defy:
Eve Defy is a Seattle-based musician and deejay who simply loves nothing more than to sear synapses with molten noise, snappy snares, and warped, alien textures. With releases on west coast underground labels like Jungle Gym, Apt E, and Illegal Afters Tracks, she is always keen to get the dancefloor screaming and jumping ‘til the condensation starts sweating down the walls. She can usually be found conducting orbital artillery salvoes from dank little basements, off-grid mountain renegades, and rusty warehouses across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
