Who says you have to wear black on black and be serious when it comes to techno? Turns out you don’t. Industrial techno heavyweight Paula Temple had some fun during her B2B with SNTS dressing as a bride and wore a bold, bright red dress during her CRSSD 2021 set delivering powerful punches throughout the night. 

Paula is back on the road and ready to go. She was nice enough to sit down with me to talk about what life has been like for her since her last SoCal visit opening up about her career trajectory and sharing why being you is all that matters.
