I am more than proud and overjoyed to showcase Janky. He is not only talented but is near and dear to my heart. Snagging a residency at Chicago’s Hydrate Nightclub on Saturdays, his style ranges from deep tech, minimal, tech house, house, deep house, to “now you’re being cheeky.” Janky respects the craft, always willing to learn and grow. It has been amazing to watch him learn and grow and demonstrate your ability to move from genre to genre seamlessly just like your dj mama ;) It’s been an honor being your mentor and it’s your time to shine love. Enjoy his mix from the first episode! Join us weekly on twitch.tv/farriswheeltv for Shades of Blu at 4pm-8pm CST!!!!

THE FUTURE IS FEMALE.

The impact of Peggy Gou, Nicole Moudaber, & Ida Engberg have had on the House & Techno scene is undeniable.

For the last 2 decades BLU9 has positioned herself to reach the top of the industry and she’s just getting started. 

BLU9 is a classically trained musician from at the early age of 7. This is completely evident in her award winning productions and unforgettable DJ sets that have taken her all over the world.

BLU9 has destroyed the Beatport charts with her releases on Toolroom, Phobiq, Poker Flat, Farris Wheel & Vested over the past decade and her music is supported by legendary acts like Juliet Fox, Steve Bug, Nicole Moudaber, Joyce Muniz, Sasha Carassi, Nakadia, Gene Farris & and the great Hiroko Yamamura.

Her world class productions will soon land her on top tier labels like Tronic, Drumcode, Octopus, Suara & more and her live performances are energetic, filled with moments and her unique fingerprint on the ever evolving landscape of electronic music.

Along with Avid Artist Agency (Christian Smith, Drunken Kong, Ivory, Savage & Shē) the future is beyond bright for this passionate, creative and unstoppable artist and 2024 will be a breakout year for BLU9 with dangerous releases on major labels, one of a kind LIVE PERFORMANCES and a heartfelt love affair with electronic music.
