AZA (DJ/ Producer and label owner) a self-taught artist born in California, is proving to be a standout component within the next generation of rising Techno artists in North America currently based in the Midwest. 

Tapped to perform throughout the United States where she has shared stages with artists such as Green Velvet, Alan Oldham aka DJ T-1000, Stacey Pullen, Gene Farris, Hannah Wants, The Yellowheads and more.
She has released on some of the  most authentic independent labels the circuit has to offer.

 AZA draws an influence from a diverse collection of sound ranging from Classical music to her Carribean music roots. Growing up on the traditional sounds of her heritage and singing in operas in San Francisco since the age of 12 fused her unique sound. 

Later in life she fell in love with techno music whenn she attended her first Movement festival in Detroit, Michigan. AZA is well known regionally, in the Midwest region of the US for being a dynamic selector in House and Techno music. She is constantly on the move sharing her electrifying energy behind the decks with audiences across the region.

Some of AZA’s following have quoted her sets as  being“soul moving”. This is exactly her intention. Her goal is to spread love through music across the globe for the rest of her existence on the planet! She is just getting started. 

Currently, she is in the studio working on an EP that will be released on her own imprint Soundbeing Recordings ® this summer.  You will find AZA playing at coveted and well known midwestern venues such as The Leland Club in Detroit, TV Lounge, and Primary Club in Chicago. 

One of her biggest inspirations in Techno music, Legendary Alan Oldham aka DJ T-1000 of Berlin and
Detroit, played her original Track “ Move” on HOR BERLIN:

 AZA’s Original Track “Move” was featured on HOR BERLIN . It was played by Berlin’s Alan Oldham aka DJ T-1000

[ AZA’s track “Move” is currently available for a free
download: https://azadjofficial.bandcamp.com/track/
move-original-mix ]

From that moment on AZA has been even more inspired to continue in her craft of DJing and Producing! She has much more in store for her audiences.

This 6AM Guest Mix was mixed at AZA’s home studio in Northern Kentucky on professional decks facing the private woods surrounding her home.

Even while surrounded by nature she imagined a crowded
warehouse dance floor at peak hours in front of her while 
mixing. This mix is for the dance floor. It is hypnotic , raw and full of surprises! A perfect mix to get you up and moving. 

This mix features tracks from AZA, Alan Oldham aka DJ T-1000, Uncertain, Planetary Assault Systems , Joshua Calleja , Psyk , Frank Biazzi and many more.

6AM Guest Mix: Aza

British-Nigerian-born, Berlin-based Richard Akingbehin (@richard-akingbehin) is behind many crucial projects in electronic music, and most of them revolve around his exploration of deep and dubby sounds. Not only is he a co-founder of the excellent Refuge Worldwide radio station, but he also runs the experimental label Kynant Record and has some key residencies when not headlining other cult clubs around the world. His label recently released the first new album from dub techno don Tikiman in almost 20 years and this summer the pair will be playing together again as part of a mini tour. 

Ahead of joining us at Dekmantel Selectors later this year, Richard recorded this week's mix for us in the Refuge Worldwide studio with the aim of showcasing what he is playing in the clubs at the moment. It takes in his signature blend of dub techno styles with music from the likes of Parallel 9, Tikiman, Dialog and Delano Smith. It's spacious and unhurried but slowly ramps up the pressure to get you on your toes and vibing to his ever-warm, supple and minimal rhythms.

DJ Hockey: FRiends and Family Ep. 52

"Chicago native Justin Aulis Long discovered his fascination for uncanny music at an early age when his mother entrusted him with her record collection that spanned from UK punk to American dance. This  served as a gateway, stimulating his journey into the sonic vortex. As a child of Medusa’s on Sheffield, Long gained a higher level of musical education. His weekly pilgrimages to this venue’s all-ages hedonistic dance parties supplied a compelling musical concoction of acid house, UK bleep, industrial and new wave. Possessed by these unorthodox forms of music, Long purchased his first set of turntables and began to collect 12-inch singles from local record shops. Though his intentions were solely to pander to his musical appetite in the privacy of his bedroom, this acquisition proved to be the genesis of a voyage that continues to present him with new challenges that are met with an unforgiving dogmatic approach.

Long cut his teeth during the early 90’s at many of Chicagos Infamous DIY and underground warehouse raves. pulling selections from a variety of his musical influences and interests. Eventually graduating to take residencies at many of the cities established club venues and landing a residency at Smart Bar where he is currently the longest consecutive resident."

TRACKLIST & INTERVIEW > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/toxido-mask/

A Berlin luminary and a serial dreamer DJ and producer, @toxido-mask is known to execute a synaesthetic experience that makes one dissolve on the dancefloor. She keeps it clean, she keeps it lethal, she keeps it transcendental. At her mercy, spine-chilling emissions of mesmeric synths, textural mechanical bleeps, and batting basslines of industrial house and techno merge and corrode to produce the purest form of a musical elixir, a drop of which evades the concept of mortality for a hot minute.

The Tresor resident functions within the familiar and injects her beloved smoke-haze, club-influenced sound palette into IA MIX 380, drenching it with interstellar-grade, dubbed-out electronics. Time compresses, an hour whittled to five minutes in the blink of an eye, as Toxido Mask steers the wheel, captaining meticulous beat control and strong-grip storytelling, channelling the crowd toward a single vibration. Enter the dungeon with Toxido Mask.

I (madeofants) had the pleasure of seeing Aza play a number of years ago at the Backstreet lounge and have been a huge fan ever since. Her intensity is mesmerizing and seeing her throw down at Tangent and also evolving her sound from hard techno into something melodic and groovy that is an absolute treat. 

Catch her live to really experience the breadth and intensity of one of the most hardworking musicians I have the pleasure of knowing but this little taste should hold you over until then.

ARCMIX025 - ARC Presents AZA

Here is a recording from the up and coming AZA recorded at Midwest Freaks last December in Madison, where IT, Intellephunk and Remain in Night united for a secret warehouse party. How can you explain being lost in the Midwest and spending all night with non stop rave alchemy in a secret warehouse? This type of thing really fills you with hope for the future. 

AZA is techno as a living being. She was born in SF to parents who had immigrated from Trinidad and Tobago of the West Indies. She grew up within music, from the music of the Caribbean (ranging from Dub and Reggae to Calypso) to the sounds of Jazz and Funk, which led her to singing in operas resulting in a college scholarship for voice. Her greatest revelation came when her mother took her to Movement and she experienced techno. She says, “I feel blissful when I create and play techno. It takes me into inner space travel. It is a place where I feel safe. The possibilities feel so endless in my techno explorations.” Experience that techno bliss with this moment of AZA at Midwest Freaks.
