@taoandra The Romanian artist synthesizes her hyperactive but sensitive personality into her music, playing from high energy to dark and groovy Techno. 

Her musical journey began in The Netherlands during her university years. Right away she became completely immersed into the Dutch Techno scene. She describes that experience as “you feel like you’ve been roaming around all your life and all of a sudden you find where you belong. It was all about the music.” She started to collect music on vinyl and spent a lot of time at record shops in Amsterdam while teaching herself how to DJ. That is a common trait in her life, a lot of her skills are self-taught. 

Techno speaks to her hyperactive personality, but sensitive nature, and that is how she builds her sets. The musical journeys she creates are always a mix between high energy, groove and emotional moments. 

From Brazil to Australia, Germany to Albania and Chile, Tao Andra has brought her timeless sound to many corners of the world.

I hope you feel connected to the musical curation Tao Andra has prepared for the Mousai Mix series.

Music is Medicine! 𓂀

Mousai Mix #047 - Tao Andra [Lisbon]

Tomás Rodríguez es un DJ de Córdoba Capital que explora los límites del melodic techno con una esencia agresiva, fusionándolo con tintes de techno crudo e influencias grooveras del indie dance. Su sonido busca conectar con la pista desde la emoción, con sets que viajan entre lo pistero, lo melódico y lo profundamente sentimental.

Empezó su camino en 2024, formándose a través de cursos y perfeccionándose con horas de práctica, pasión y búsqueda personal. Aunque todavía no debutó en eventos, su enfoque está puesto en crear experiencias sonoras que transmitan sensaciones reales, más allá del beat.

Inspirado por artistas como Kevin de Vries y sets memorables como el de Michael Bibi B2B Maceo Plex en Ultra Miami 2023, Tomás entiende la música electrónica como un lenguaje capaz de hablarle al cuerpo y al alma.

Este es solo el comienzo de un viaje que promete romper estructuras y emocionar desde la pista.
