Sel.6 is a DJ/Producer from Broward County FL, flooding nearby Miami's underground with high energy electronic sounds ranging from Techno, Electro, Bass, House and more. Over the course of the past year, Sel.6 has released a pair of intense drum n' bass and jungle workouts that took the form of two separate EPs called Desire + Desire II. Her continued electronic explorations are a fruitful reminder that adventurous DJs and producers can take us places even when cooped up by a global pandemic. She recently graced Research & Development with a live stream in mid December 2020 where she collaborated with visual artist, Detroit's Nix to create a vibrant, psychedelic, heart pumping experience. We're all looking forward to future output from Sel. 6. You can check out this mix including the visuals from Nix at https://www.instagram.com/tv/CJB-M7fhLQP/

In the last few years, Miami has transformed into a hotbed of raw talent and one of its hallmark players is Sel.6. Jumpstarting her career with the widely revered and self-released Desire series and initiated into Miami’s scene via Space Tapes, the label that launched some of Miami’s most prized and internationally recognized dance music artists; she has woven herself into the fabric of the city’s underground telling the story of her Floridian identity and giving beauty and finesse to the sounds that encompass “Floridacore” in electronic music. Her productions are characterized by signature ethereal open soundscapes, sampling inspired by a deep passion and respect for R&B, combined with crisp and powerful percussions ranging from electro to breaks to hardgroove to jungle making her music a must have for any DJ’s arsenal and have landed her onto labels like Allergy Season and Omnidisc. This energy transcends into the way she plays always creating impactful and heavy dance floor moments and making her a highly valuable commodity to the city’s club culture. Truly a DJ’s DJ, she can take the room through decades and genres keeping the audience moving and engaged which has brought her to festivals and clubs at home as well as nationally from Detroit to NYC to D.C.
