Ladies Night III for Inquiry Collective

CAST OFF Podcast 32: Elz

Being known for genre-bending and crowd-pleasing, Elz has mastered the art of reading the crowd by setting the mood with tasteful dance music. Growing up listening to breakbeats, techno, and house music and discovering classic rock, jazz, hip-hop, the 80s, and funk music, she learned how to incorporate all of these elements together to create some serious flavor. Her parents were opera singers, so they raised her with a great appreciation and passion for music and vinyl. She studied piano and violin throughout her youth and sang with her High school jazz band. She got interested in electronic music by going to local underground raves in San Francisco and saw her first female DJ perform and immediately became inspired to learn how to use turntables herself to express her love for music.

Her first DJ gig was in 1998 in a large warehouse space called 2nd and Jackson in Oakland. Soon after, she started playing for many legendary San Francisco long-running events, including 2nd Sunday, Sister SF, Feel Good, Sonic at 1015, Mixed Elements, and The Gathering. In March 2008, Elz graduated from Ex’pression College with a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Sound Arts. After graduation, she spent the summer interning for DJ Shadow, assisted in preparation for the launch of DJ Shadow Digital (DJ Shadow Digital Store), and processed sound samples for the store. She has releases on Muzimo Records, Harlum Muziq, Look Out Records, and has just joined the Tech House label Laser Native as their newest resident artist. In 2015 she studied Ableton at Sequence One in Oakland and then went on to work as a Music Curator and Audio Engineer at the DJ app, Crossfader.

She has performed gigs at the SXM festival in St. Maartin, BPM festival in Mexico, Tulum, Coachella, WMC in Miami, in New York, Los Angeles, Vegas, Seattle, Burning Man, Day Breaker, Sunset Campout, Boiler Room, E Komo Mai Festival in Hawaii, and all over the Bay Area at clubs such as The Midway, Public Works, Halcyon, The Great Northern, Monarch, 1015 Folsom, The End Up, DNA Lounge, Ruby Skye, Temple, The Clift Hotel, and Audio. She has opened for such acts as Bob Moses, Thugfucker, Hoj, HOSH, Hot Since 82, Detroit Swindle, Huxley, Terry Frances, Giom, German Brigante, Justin Martin, Christian Martin, Demuir, Doc Martin, Colette & Heather, Fred Everything, Sonny Fodera, Session Victim, Mood II Swing, DJ Dan, DJ Sneak, Jesse Perez, Richey Ahmed, Mikey Lion, Galen, and Solar to name a few.

She was a resident with The Kazbah for many years and is currently with the Disco Knights Burning Man crew. Elz was also a resident DJ at the Virgin Hotel in San Francisco at the Everdene Rooftop bar and the Common’s Club from 2019-2020. Elz is currently a DJ instructor at Blue Bear School of Music and teaches therapeutic beat-making workshops for elementary and middle school children using Ableton and the Push with the nonprofit Today’s Future Sound throughout the Bay Area. Her mission is to use music as a tool to heal people by giving them a safe space to be themselves while injecting them with positivity via dancing to the best music.

Bringing us our next EXPLORATIONS we have Melbourne residing force of Nature CHELSEA BROWN.

Miss Brown was classically trained from a young age and while her fingers were learning the classical stuff her ears were rocking out to rock royalty SHIHAD and NIRVANA however it was a scorching gig from our own SALMONELLA DUB that sent her cartwheeling into the electronic world.

Travels and international experiences have further shaped this appreciation.
LAB parties in Melbourne, trips to Berlin and Australia's penchant for quality festivals further pushed her towards her destiny on the decks.

Running THE theme camp/doof destination BEAN BAG BABYLON has resulted in a fun, rewarding and rich education in electronica with constant talent on the revolving line up in BEAN BAG BABYLON.
Their RAINBOW SERPANT FESTIVAL closing sets are a thing of legend and have often hosted the worlds best for this occasion.

Taking inspiration from producers such as COSS. BEN BOHMER. ARATUNI and IORIE and labels such as KATTERMUKKE, ANUNJADEEP and BEAT N PATH. Her sound is an analogue bubbling warmth that is engaging and thoughtful.

This mix was recorded in a rare gap In Melbournes seemingly never ending lockdowns in a secluded picturesque landscape with the warm late afternoon sun shining down and this mix reflects just that.

Thank you Chelsea and welcome to LO-FI.

Enjoy people

Little delayed, but here's the recording of my set at Nation of Gondwana Festival from a couple of weeks ago. It was my first time at Nation and I was only there for 24 hours, but it was overwhelming in the best way. So many warm, friendly people and a festival that comes alive at night with incredible visual art and music to explore. I can totally see why so many keep coming back every year, it truly has its own special vibe. And I’m happy I got to be part of it this year…and even happier they asked if I could imagine playing one of those slower sets again. It was pure fun and made me realise how much I’d actually missed it! Big thanks to everyone who joined me early Sunday morning at Spelunke and flowed with me through the sunrise 🩵 

Hope you enjoy!

much love, 
Leni

This is my set from Saturday night @ Unterholz at Bucht der Träumer Festival 2025. Big shout out to all the producers whose music is featured in this set. Your music makes all of this love happen ♥️

Ohne Worte (später auch ohne Stimme), aber mit viel Pippi in den Augen und more Amore in der Brust. Liebsten Dank an alle Träumer*innen und Friends, die mir mir Samstagnacht über den dusty Floor im Unterholz gesegelt sind. Für mich war das ohne Frage a special one - sehr emotional das Ganze. Umso mehr hat mich berührt, dass ihr mit mir auf diesen besonderen Sound-Trip gekommen seid und so viel Liebe da gelassen habt 🥹♥️🫶🏻 #godeeporgohome 

Lieblingsbucht bleibt Lieblingsbucht: Größtes Dankeschön an die Crew @rebelliondertraumer und an @kotoekk für die Einladung und diesen wunderschönen Slot.
