Etharix is a DJ + Sonic Storyteller based in North Carolina and originally from Rochester, NY. She delivers emotionally resonant journeys through Liquid Drum & Bass. Active in the Electronic Music scene since the late ’90s and behind the decks since 2023, her sound is a signature blend of lush atmospheres, ambient textures, and deep rolling basslines — described by listeners as “Sensual Liquid” and “Bedroom Liquid.”

Her mixes reflect a deep synesthetic connection to music, where sound evokes color, motion, and emotion — resulting in sets that feel immersive, intentional, and alive. Each performance is carefully crafted to resonate with the listener, guiding them through fluid, storytelling soundscapes.

Following the release of her debut mix, Liquid Summer, Vol. 01 in 2024, Etharix was invited to play her first private and public sets, including The Loop Party and her Liquid Continuum debut at Sub Rosa for her birthday. She also hosts a monthly international radio show, Liquid Daybreak, airing every third Monday via global stream on subtleradio.com. She’s contributed guest mixes and continues to develop her mix series, including the recently released, Liquid Summer, Vol. 02.

Outside the booth, Etharix is the founder of Sub Low Triangle, a digital promotion brand dedicated to uplifting the Electronic Music scene across the Triangle area of NC and beyond. Known for her aesthetic presence and passion-driven support, she promotes events and connects people — artists, venues, and fans alike — purely out of love for the community. For many, she’s known simply as “Queen,” a title earned through tireless commitment to inclusivity, connection, and collective vibe.

Whether broadcasting across time zones or vibing in intimate local venues, Etharix moves with intention: to make the listener feel through the resonance of sound, and to help them find their people through music.

*Specialized in Funky House & Tech House production 

*FlexdeFunk DJ Project includes DJ sets in the following genre's: Electro House, Funky House, Breakbeat & Funk, Trip Hop/Downtempo | Also check "best of" playlists which are being updated consistently. 

*UPDATE: FlexdeFunk ended production and DJ sets in the summer of 2013. The conclusion was reached for several reasons including the general direction of the electronic music scene, the "Funk" genre losing popularity and the fact that there are many funk themed DJ's and producers still abundant to keep the genre alive (check artists like The Basement Freaks, The Funk Hunters, DJ Slynk, Funkanomics, Stickybuds, Featurecast, A-Skillz, DJ Czech, DJ Dan, Ski Tour, Krafty Kuts, Trotter, etc.) and Flex moving onto other goals in life including the creation of a podcast which will be named "Understanding Perception". This podcast should be launched in 2024.

Flex thanks all for the support received over the years from around the world over the last decade. Flex will still update soundcloud with some of the best Funk-themed artists around so feel free to keep updated on the latest by checking this page (see playlists).

Biography:

FlexdeFunk (N Beers) completed his first full studio in 2004. Within a year he released "Just Arriving" a two-disc compilation created for private release only (released in July 2005).  The double-disc release included 28 tracks with genres ranging from House, Breaks to Trip Hop.

From there Flex decided to release singles on various international labels. In 2007 Flex signed to Gene Poole Music (Germany) for his 1st vinyl/mp3 release. It was welcomed into the breaks community, charting on over 4 breakbeat charts within a week.  Soon after FlexdeFunk signed onto Egypt's Purple Edge Records, the UK's New Era Recordings, Shiva Records, Moxi Records, & Canada's JG Records.

Since then Flex has focused on House production and recording the FlexdeFunk DJ Project. This is a massive project to celebrate '10 years of mixing' for FlexdeFunk. The project includes OVER 20 MIXES of hand-picked tracks that Flex has collected over the last 7 years....the best of the best. Genre's will include - Funky House, Electro, Breaks, Funk & Trip Hop/Downtempo blends. The FlexdeFunk will be completed by the fall of 2013 and sets posted (for free download) as they are recorded.  All DJ sets available on www.soundcloud.com/flexdefunk & www.mixcloud.com/flexdefunk 

FlexdeFunk also held a residency @ Yorkville's Famous "Y Not Lounge" every Saturday night for 2 years (10pm-3am, 2008 & 2009) with music ranging from Funk, Breaks, Funky House, Tech House, Electro and Tribal House.  It was always a packed venue and FlexdeFunk was able to change the average "top 40's music fan" into a House music fan by the end of each night.
