Shape of the Question is about sitting in the unknown.. the space where answers don’t arrive neatly packaged, but reveal themselves in the act of asking. This mix is my exploration of that space.. the tension between doubt and trust, expectation and surrender.

To me, the “shape” is how the unknown carves me..how curiosity, wondering, and stumbling forward gives form to who I am becoming.

Formless Fractal

Formless Fractal - Dance Camp NW 2025

My 4th time at Burning Man spent with my soul family at camp Elementum. We transcended as a collective during our annual Inferno Party on the playa. Thank you to everyone who trusted me with taking you on a journey through time and space. You mean the world to me.

NEKTER Live at Elementum Inferno Party Burning Man 2025

This album draws upon a wide spectrum of early extreme music. It strives to create a conceptually elevated experience by exploring transcendent themes while retaining the raw power and immediacy of its roots. Furthermore, the primitive early sounds from the classic extreme metal bands from black, thrash and death metal are mixed together equally and reconceptualized through themes not often touched upon by metal and through the sounds of earlier extreme music efforts in and outside of the metal framework.

Wrathful Deity

Los Angeles based NEKTER provides the room with what she calls a techno sound bath; scratching different parts of the brain with various textures and noise while using particular healing frequencies and sounds. This emerging DJ has been working her way through the underground warehouse circuit around the world.

NEKTER gained her notoriety after winning the 2021 REFORM DJ Contest hosted by 6AM Group and Synthetik Minds. She cut her teeth playing warehouses with the Berlin/LA based all-female techno collective Fallen Angel. She is often seen on local lineups for the most prominent underground groups in LA such as 6AM, Dirty Epic, WORK, Incognito and Synthetik Minds and has shared the stage with industry heavy-hitters such as Ben Block, Ben Sims, Ø [Phase], and most recently as direct support for Amelie Lens. Now an official resident of Commonsense Records in Mexico City and WORK in Los Angeles, NEKTER finds herself sharing the decks with even more insane talent. 

NEKTER aims to shake things up and represent the next generation of DJs while paying respectful homage to the legends who helped pave the way for the underground electronic music community. More importantly, NEKTER's focus is on the experience of the sound journey as it relates to spiritual exploration. Her 10+ years of yoga and meditation practice has landed her at a place where she no longer wishes to have a boundary between the electronic music scene and consciousness observation. Her sets are designed with the purpose of diving into one's subconscious, making friends with one's shadows, and feeling sensations in every part of the body. It is imperative to her that the journey be healing, embodied, and somatic as well as being fun and sexy as fuck. 

"I want the experience to be intellectually stimulating as well as physically."

NEKTER fills any club, festival or warehouse with deep hypnotic beats, groovy melodies, mind-melting frequencies and fat slammin' bass. Whether she's opening, closing, or headlining, expect nothing short of a proper electronic music experience with NEKTER behind the decks.

Deep feels. Desert soul.

Movement for the heart and body.

Every set is a transmission -  a space to rise, release, and remember.
