Anetha is a French artist, DJ, producer, label manager, talent agency co-founder and a trained architect.

Transmitting the glossy textures of techno, trance and experimental music, Anetha whips up bouncy basslines, stomping kickdrums, glorious melodies and a sprinkling of melancholic motifs, sharing her sound in seminal clubs and legendary festivals worldwide. From the industrial setting of Berghain, the sleek surroundings of Hï Ibiza, the dome of Gashouder and the open-air haze of Stone Techno, Anetha has garnered a loyal audience across the Americas, Europe, Australasia and beyond. Delivering lush and luminous productions and DJ sets, the Bordeaux-based artist works with attention to detail, creative construction, and nimble mixing — as one would expect from an artist with an architectural background.

2024 marks the release of Anetha's long-awaited album on Mama told ya. The ten-track LP honours her ephemeral taste in electronic music, welding a palette of post-club, techno, trance, experimental, nu-wave, rave, and DnB, and features Anetha's own voice, literally and figuratively. The album tells the story of Anetha's trajectory so far and explores ecological awareness, femininity, toxic masculinity and unwarranted opinions in the music industry. In true Anetha style, she conveys these themes with playfulness and a touch of irony across the album.

Several releases colour Anetha's discography, from her debut EP 'Ophiuchus' on Berlin-based label Work Them in 2015 and a myriad of EPs, singles and remixes on imprints like Anagram and OAKS and her own label, Mama told ya.

Launched in 2019 and co-founded by Anetha and her skilled, close-knit team of friends and family, Mama told ya platforms rising stars and encourages them to express themselves through music, no matter the stage of their journey. Limited edition and earth-friendly merch, including clothing and fragrance, extends the realm of Mama told ya alongside label showcases.

And then, there's Fané.e. It's a new label from Anetha and the MTY family. Every release follows a seasonal schedule, where tracks will be available to download and stream for a finite period until blossoming once more the following season. The label aims to share high-quality, genre-fluid productions without the restrictions of a vinyl-led imprint and to cultivate a more environmentally friendly way to consume music. 

In 2020, Anetha launched the talent agency Mama loves ya to nurture emerging artists worldwide. When it comes to sustainability, the agency walks the walk. Mama loves ya works with the carbon management project Greenly, helping offset, reduce and compensate for its carbon footprint and decrease CO2 emissions. Actions include implementing eco-riders and operating an open calendar on the MLY website, showing promoters where and when each artist is due to play, thus reducing travel distance between bookings.

Born in Bordeaux to nu-wave and electroclash-inclined parents, Anetha moved to London and then Paris, where she studied and graduated in architecture. There, she co-founded the label and party series Blocaus in 2012, honing her skill as a DJ and shaping her profile on the Parisian scene for the guts of ten years.

Now, Anetha has evolved into a fully established and globally recognised artist, blurring the lines between art, music and fashion through her artistry and relationships with fashion designers Marine Serre and Rombaut. If anyone can balance the tasks of touring, producing, and co-managing two record labels and a talent agency with poise, it's Anetha.

After meeting at university back in 2005, and starting as a DJ duo in 2007, Elijah & Skilliam's kinship has taken them around the world numerous times, and led to them working with pretty much every one of their local musical heroes. The DJ partnership that so far has been epitomised on two official mix albums (2011's Rinse:17 and 2014's FABRICLIVE75), a compilation series succinctly called 'Grime' (with editions in 2015, 2016 and 2017), over 300 radio shows for Rinse FM (2008-2014) and over 100 editions of their roaming club night they run independently, Jamz.

In 2010 they founded Butterz, the record label and club night to release music they were being sent from artists that later became their core roster: Swindle, Royal-T & Flava D. From 2010 to 2019 they had records featuring TQD, D Double E, Footsie, Ghetts, P Money, S-X, Joker, Flowdan, DJ Q and many more. 2020 is a reset year for the label, introducing new artists, alongside friends from the wider sphere of influence they have curated over the years. 

Butterz club shows have at their core represented Grime, but have always gone left and right of the sound bringing in producers from other worlds into their universe. The blueprint for what Butterz club shows are started in 2011 at their first club residency at the now closed Cable which featured guests such as Kode 9, DJ EZ, JME and Skepta. They moved onto a 3 year residency at fabric hosting all the Grime heavyweights like Kano, Wiley, Big Narstie, Novelist and the Newham Generals. Audio and video from these shows have been shared online and collectively have millions of plays from all over the world.

Off the decks, they both work behind the scenes on projects with away from Butterz. Elijah is an independent curator who is a former Artistic Director of Brighton's Lighthouse, and has produced and collaborated on work for York Mediale, Lisson Gallery, Centre Pompidou and more. Skilliam has worked on creative operations for artist's projects, and has delved into production appearing on TQD's UKG album. 

On the decks they play between 130BPM and 160BPM with the Grime being the heartbeat of the set. But as their new 01012020 and onwards mix series shows, they are unafraid of experimentation, shuffling through Bass, Garage, Kudoro, Gqom, and more.
