Laura Amaya AKA BLAN-K, nacida en la capital andaluza, Sevilla. 
Comenzó en 2013 trabajando como Relaciones Públicas (RRPP) de los eventos de DNB de su ciudad. Pero no fué hasta 2020/21 cuando se lanzó a los platos, para así compartir todo lo que ya conocía y seguía descubriendo. 
Con un estilo versátil y progresivo, le gusta comenzar con vocales de Soulful mezcladas con la oscuridad y seriedad del Deep, pasando desde las baterías más secas y marcadas, a las más roleras, movidas y bailongas, llegando a mostrar su lado más oscuro y underground para culminar sus sets.
Blan-k viene pisando fuerte, ya que ha participado en muchísimos eventos en Sevilla y gran parte de Andalucía. Su estilo y su carisma en cabina la ha llevado a actuar en ciudades como Bilbao, Murcia o Bristol (UK) y a festivales como Monegros Desert Festival, Summer Festival, Oasis Festival, Dub Elements & Friends Open Air, Jarrera weekender. Compartiendo cartel con grandes artistas de renombre internacional.
Es una de las fundadoras de Show Me Now (colectivo de djs/productoras andaluzas) y Las Diñas (promotora eventos sevillana) e integrante de Audi0noid (colectivo/sello malagueño)
Sus referentes y artistas favoritos son Kyrist, Noisia, Phace, Optiv, BTK, Amoss, Break, Jubei, QZB, Thread, Monty, Visages, Brain, Hydro, War, NC-17, Philth y muchos más.
BLAN-K está dando de qué hablar, y tiene claro que ha venido para quedarse y hacer que no paréis de bailar.

A podcast for a positive future! To host fun conversations to illuminate the path out of this oppressive leviathan, towards an ideal society.

Terence McKenna once said, "If we continue going where we're headed, we'll end up living in a toxic waste dump ruled over by Nazis." 30 years later, we are still driving down that same road. How do we escape this fate? Is there another path? 

If we are going to escape our default dystopian trajectory, we need a map. Reactionary forces in our society are afraid of the unknowable future, so they vociferously grasp towards an unrecoverable romanticized past, for lack of an alternative vision. The status quo has become untenable, so something has to give. We forward-thinkers must get better at articulating the future we want to see, otherwise we will slide back into the worst aspects of historical injustice, and things will get very ugly indeed.

To create a world worth living in, we need help. No one can create the future alone. Whatever the fate of our species will be, it will be a manifestation of our collective will. The people own the future. It does not belong to any elite. But most people don't even bother confronting the future, because they are kept treading water by an economic system that treats them as mere instruments of production. The working class is deliberately distracted from thinking about big picture questions like Does it really have to be this way? What is the good life? How should society be organized? What would we do with our time if money was no object? What does utopia look like from here? and How the fuck do we really accelerate the evolutionary path towards it?

Utopian Cartography will feature artists, activists, intellectuals, & event producers from whom I have gained great insights about the potential of a positive future. When I woke up to the ways of the world years ago, I became overwhelmingly depressed by the apocalypse. I was convinced we were headed straight for the Nazi toxic waste dump Terence warned us about. Then I discovered utopia. My eyes were opened yet further, and I learned that the revelations of our as yet unrealized liberation had a purpose. I came to appreciate the fact that "change only occurs when the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of changing." Apocalypse is a necessary precursor to utopia. We can only see the garden beyond the veil by first confronting the ills of the status quo. Utopia is out there, if only we know how and where to look.

So if you want to shed some of that existential despair and pessimism about the possibility of a good future for humanity and our planet, give this show a listen. We will do our best to illustrate the rational case for optimism about the future, with a philosophically & historically informed evolutionary perspective, streetwise cynicism, and a healthy dose of psychedelic trickster irreverence. 

To be hopeless is to disregard history. The future can be better than any of us imagine, so let's figure out how to get there.

With Love, 

Neonn Felicity 💜

Dj from Seville, Resident Bristol:
 markito Banvasten

linktr.ee/banvastendnb todos mis setS💥

Mezclas rápidas y frenéticas de vocales. 
Ama los ritmos rotos, muy oscuros, sexys, elaborados, con mucho ritmo, con mucha atmósfera oscura, siniestra y a la vez con clase y alegre. Capaz de alternar por la cantidad de subgéneros del Drum and Bass, Deep Roller, Techstep y Raggajungle, Breakbeat, Psytrance, Raggatek..

Influenciado desde el 2003 con 10 años de edad en las profundidades oscuras y contundentes que la época ofrecía, con breakbeat gitano mezclado con flamenco, y breakbeat puro melódico. Amante del sonido de calidad, baterias contundentes nada simples, elaboración de cualquier tema de las ramas musicales electrónicas. 



Despues de Dj goku, Dj karpin con 11 12 13, con 14-15 años siguó con el break mas tear out y oscuro, o booty breaks, de los mas frikis de su entorno hasta que en 2009-2010 conoció verdaderamente el Drum and Bass mas neurofunk de la época. Momento en que el break empezó a morir y nacer generos como el Dub Step, el y unos pocos frikis de esa epoca navegaron por los generos mas duros del drum and bass. Donde sólo unos pocos lo conocían y disfrutaban en su ciudad natal Sevilla.

Desde los 15, 16 años empezó a meterse en el mundo del Dj.

En 2016 llegó a Bristol, y llenaba Basment 45 disfrazado de gaviota por las calles de Bristol y disfrutando de las Drum and Birds que realizaban en la ciudad.

En 2017 volvió a Sevilla y llevaba la Sala Even durante el verano, recobrando un digno movimiento y espiritú de Juevens.

A finales de 2017 se mudó a Tenerife intentó patentar Drum Island pero no cuajó.

A la vuelta en Sevilla, creó las Sex in the Dark Jungle, alternando estilos Breaks con Drum and Bass muy selecto, con una decoración tipo jungla.
