JORGE MARTINS CLOSING SET @ WUITW NOV 2023

When Rythmikan gets behind the decks, she creates a unique style of bouncy, progressive beatz & deep driving techno, that is a journey into sound within her realm. When listening you will find yourself resonating with her intention. She will take you on a journey to go deep into the story of sounds ~ embracing the dance-floor with a contagious warm­‐heartedness.

During her childhood, she attended a Rhythmic dance school where she learned to drum and move to the beat. Over time, she grasped how the rhythm influences us, how music evokes emotions, and how we express ourselves through movement. Even then, she sensed that her path was intertwined with music. In the late '90s, at a small house party, she found herself behind the turntables for the first time, mixing on a pair of belt-driven turntables ~ a moment that marked the beginning of her musical journey, where the winds of inspiration carried her in diverse directions 🪶🤍🪶
