There are DJs, then there are DJs who capture—and live—a moment in dance music's evolution. Born in Los Angeles, but based in New York for the better half of a decade, Akua has established herself as the latter, an important voice in the North American techno scene. Akua's DJing practice is fueled by her research in the '90s techno music archive, with a special interest in the history and roots of techno within America. 

Akua's sets are raw extensions of the foundations laid by the pioneers of '90s U.S. techno. Most prominently, the work and influence of DJs like Jeff Mills, Claude Young and Jay Denham can all be heard across her mixes, as well as the spirit of Underground Resistance. Her interest in fast-paced techno comes from these traditions as well as own individualist streak—while there's no shortage of DJs who play high-BPM techno, you won't hear anyone else play it quite like she does.

Her old-school meets new-school sound has catapulted her from the New York underground into the European techno circuit, where recent gigs have seen her perform at dance music institutions like Berghain and Dekmantel. Akua's RA Podcast is her in full-throttle mode, featuring all the stripped-down, hypnotic groove of early techno aside rushes of searing acid, carefully speeding up until closing at a healthy sprint.

For Deep South ATL, I leaned into the idea of sharing a Rose Kourts jam session in its purest form. This is a free-flowing power hour of tracks and records I’ve been digging lately. It’s eclectic and funky, full of energy and crunchy, groovy, acid-heavy sounds that get my heart pumping, feet stomping, and stank face going. Especially as a queer Black Southern gal, it is both a pleasure and an honor for me to contribute to this fantastic series. Y’all better turn it up, enjoy!

Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Rose Kourts is a Brooklyn-based DJ, radio host, and organizer, known for blending musical styles and influences with a signature touch and a buoyant energy. Since bursting onto the scene in 2019, she has quickly become a favorite at New York’s most buzzing clubs and parties, electrifying dancefloors and airwaves alike with dynamic selections that reflect deep digging sensibilities and a love and respect for the underground. Rose Kourts' selections bloom into soulful warmth as easily as tense menace, and she wields this versatility with a philosophy of fun that extends to her monthly Lot Radio resident show GEMS, her work as a co-founder of DIY renegade party Sweet Kicks, and as the head of local club night NOW. 

Rose Kourts can regularly be found whipping dancefloors into a sonic frenzy at Brooklyn venues such as BASEMENT, Nowadays, Good Room, Paragon, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Mood Ring, and Public Records. The last year has seen the artist blossom into not only an established mainstay in her local scene, but also a growing presence at clubs and events across and outside of the US. Her travels outside of New York have thrilled dancers and won her a growing international fan base across electronic hubs like Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Detroit and beyond.

The DJ has played festivals such as WIRE Festival, Dweller Festival, Fourth World, Shaker Mountain, Slingshot Festival, London’s Keep Hush, and Boiler Room; storied parties with collectives including WRECKED, The Carry Nation, BOUND, and The Bunker in NYC, LA’s Ostabahnhof, Miami’s Proibidae, Berlin’s Body Language, and Copenhagen’s Fast Forward; and as direct support for legendary artists like Mr. G and Moodymann, DJ Stingray and Helena Hauff, Robert Owens, The Egyptian Lover, and DJ T-1000, among other seminal talents.

Deep South Podcast - 117 - Rose Kourts

French-Canadian @mariedavidson_official never sits still for long. She is a Montreal native who has also lived in Berlin, and is one of the scene's most revered live acts but also transitioned into DJing with spectacular results. She makes it all from minimal wave to techno to electroclash whether working solo, as part of the Essaie pas duo, or alongside L'Œil Nu on Ninja Tune. Her own vocals often feature heavily in her work and as well as direct club material she has excelled in the long-player format with several standouts over the last decade. 

All of that creative genre abandonment is embodied in this week's mix, which is as punchy as they come. Lashings of squealing synths and hyper-speed electro-tech kick things off with real intent and the intensity never drops: there are dark punk bangers and synth-heavy kraut cuts next to pummelling deep techno punishers, more lithe disco and wave sounds and lashings of trance euphoria. What a ride.

Locked Groove Transmission #08: Nita Aviance

Mexican DJ and producer Paulina Rodriguez aka Paurro naturally fell into the embrace of acid house, UK garage, breakbeat, bass and techno music after doing her mayor internship in Spain and England.

Paurro found another home in the dance community which gave her a platform to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and to elevate other artists’ works, with a big focus on those from her own home country. 

An iconic essence of house, Paulina draws a fine house line between her organic and energetic sounds, providing happy and unforgettable sets that mark the soul. Ranging from deep and minimal to uplifting and melodic sounds, often grazing 90s house and disco, her true aim is to curate a feeling of true freedom through song and dance. 

Over the last 9 years she has played all over Mexico, LA, Detroit, Bogotá, NYC and Miami in renowned clubs like Output, Videoclub and Elsewhere. Paurro recently started a music project with legend Matias Aguayo (@donmatiasaguayo) called La Descarga.
