Shay De Castro is one of the most thrilling techno talents emerging from the United States, known for her high-energy, peak-time sound that merges relentless intensity with melodic depth. With releases on some of the most respected techno labels - including Factory 93, Kraftek, Respekt, and mau5trap - and support from Amelie Lens, Adam Beyer, ANNA, and Richie Hawtin, she is carving out her own lane in modern techno with a fierce commitment to artistic authenticity.
A self-made artist from Boise, Idaho - far from the world’s techno capitals - Shay’s rise has been one of pure passion, perseverance, and a unique sonic identity. Inspired by the euphoria of trance and the raw power of peak-time techno, she developed a signature style that balances ferocity with emotion, captivating audiences worldwide.
Shay’s latest work, “Unclose Me” (out on Kraftek), is a collaboration with Pleasurekraft. A poetic, borderline-romantic techno piece, it reflects Shay’s deep connection to literature and lyricism, and showcases her ability to channel raw emotion into the dancefloor. It marks another step forward in her evolution as a bold, genre-defining storyteller in techno.
Her breakthrough moment came with the release of “Memento” on Factory 93, which soared to #18 on the Beatport Techno charts and was featured on the label’s Best of 2023 compilation, placing her alongside artists like Space 92 and Nicole Moudaber. She’s also earned support slots for Eli Brown’s U.S. tour, and her dynamic performances have lit up stages at Amsterdam Dance Event, Beyond Wonderland, and top clubs across Europe, the Americas, and the U.S., including Exchange LA, Superior Ingredients NYC, and Tanzhaus West.
Shay’s music regularly finds its way into the sets of techno’s biggest names, played at festivals like Tomorrowland, Awakenings, and Time Warp. Her powerful, groove-driven productions have earned her repeat signings on labels like Respekt Recordings, while her remix work - such as her 2024 collaboration on Kiesza’s “I Go Dance” - has expanded her reach beyond traditional techno audiences.
Driven by both passion and precision, Shay De Castro is more than a DJ and producer - she’s a poetic architect of tension, introspection, and rave catharsis. With a growing global fanbase and a series of high-impact releases on the horizon, Shay is poised to become one of the defining artists of techno’s next wave.

LackOfAffekt crafts melodic and progressive techno sounds like forgotten dreams stitched together with magnetic tape an ever-shifting tapestry of noise, melody, and memory. Rooted in the experimental and the emotional, their work lives at the threshold where beauty unravels and becomes something stranger. 

Voices flicker like distant signals, rhythms fracture and reform, and textures bleed into one another like light through cracked glass.

Drawing from the broken, the haunted, and the divine, LackOfAffekt doesn’t make music to be understood, only felt. Each track is a transmission from elsewhere: part séance, part signal loss, part sanctuary.

This is music for the in-between spaces.
For the ones who dance, where ever the place.
For the ones who still listen when the world goes quiet.

LackOfAffekt has released music with noteable labels such as: Steyoyoke and Deed music berlin.

His belief is that every song should tell a story.

OBSCUUR stands as the leading powerhouse for high energy dance music. Based in Berlin and Amsterdam, we drive the scene with millions of streams each month and a roster of hundreds of visionary artists, bringing fast-paced sounds to a global audience — fueled by ADA / Warner Music to push our sound.
