Leyla Loizides, known by her artist name Hera, is a house
DJ and producer originally from Mexico City, now based in
Vancouver. Growing up in Mexico City, she was immersed
in the local sounds of cumbia and reggaetón, later
expanding her influences to include dembow, guaracha,
and other Latin rhythms. As she got older, she developed
a deep love for electronic music, with a special passion
for house. Deeply inspired by ’90s Chicago house, she
also has a strong affinity for tribal house, acid house, and
minimal—genres that form the foundation of her sound.
As a dedicated crate digger and vinyl collector, she draws
inspiration from the past while continuously evolving her
sound and offering a fresh, modern approach. Whether
through song selection, mixing, or production, she pushes
the boundaries of electronic music in a way that reflects
the world’s ever-growing multicultural experience. Hera’s
love for music is inseparable from her yearning for equity
and freedom of expression. She’s particularly interested in
collaborating with people and performing in spaces that
encourage free expression for women and the LGBTQ+
community.

Abject Geo is a DJ known for his contributions to the Spain Techno and House scene performing as Paco Pozas.

He started his career DJ’ing in local clubs where he gained attention with appearances on Zona 3, the legendary Radio 3 show hosted by Sonia Briz, where his sets introduced him to a broader audience.

Then he moved to Madrid, where he became a familiar face at clubs like Long Play, Coppelia, La Lupe, Kashba, Fabric, and Arena, where he built a solid reputation for deep, emotional sets that moved between Progressive House, Tech House, and early Techno. His DJ sessions resonated at countless raves and private parties, cementing his reputation for delivering deep, driving, and emotionally charged sets.

After some time away from the scene, he is now based in Vancouver, where he’s returned to DJing with a fresh perspective and a couple new names: Abject Geo for Techno and Abject Rhythm, for House and Tech House sets.
