For those who like heavy electronic music to be delivered with depth and intention, this back-to-back at Door IV is one to catch. Even though she no longer calls Miami home, Ashley Venom's influence on the city's contemporary scene cannot be overstated Beginning in 2013, when she co-founded ongoing event series The Void, Venom spent several years putting on for Miami's creatives and marginalized communities alike, using parties and the spaces they're held in to build meaningful local bonds and possibilities for social change. Additionally, she was a producer on the Ill Points team from 2016 to 2020 and co-founded Masisi in 2019; there's some beautiful synergy there, as not only is the latter queer Caribbean party and collective still going strong six years later, but its presence on the festival's roster is possibly the largest it's ever beer in 2025. While Venom now lives in Brooklyn, she maintains close local ties.

Her sparring partner in song selection for Saturday, Souls Departed, is chief among them. Known as Mari when she's off the decks, she shares her counterpart's passion for thoughtfully championing rave culture and forging deeper connections through music. When she's not busy busting heads with EBM and electro mindbenders or playing alongside legends like Kittin & The Hacker, she's tending to Undisciplined Body, he label centered on personal collections and associated works from Florida artists. This formidable tag team tore it up when they went b2b at Ill Points last year, and 2025's display of dance floor excellence was no different.
