Glasgow has always been closely associated with techno - from the heady days of the 90's through to the present, the city has always loved the harder side of the dance.

Nemoa and VXYX are two DJ's emerging from the city's underground presenting futuristic, fast paced, hard dance music with their own spin. they've each cut their teeth over the years running and dj'ing at parties across the city and have found a home at La Cheetah where VXYX launched a party called Eutony and Neoma plays as a resident.

Over the coming weeks we will spotlight a number of local artists from across the city who will be performing at Riverside Festival. Neoma and VXYX will be a special back to back set on the banks of the River Clyde and by the sounds of this mix it's set to be a hard, relentless affair.

Just how we like it...

Polish-born and Edinburgh-based DJ and producer, ona:v is the founder of EPiKA and a club night curator. Her imaginative sets earned her loyal following across the UK.

Having honed her mixing skills and built an extensive track collection for several years, ona:v debuted on Edinburgh’s club circuit in 2019, where she remains an active part of the scene today. With a sound that spans dark yet groovy techno, ona:v channels older and lesser-known tracks throughout her DJ sets. As an advocate for equal representation in the electronic music industry, ona:v believes platforming is the best way to increase the proportion of female and non-binary artists and features their tracks in her sets.  

Bookings across the UK make up ona:v’s diary, with gigs from London all the way to Aberdeen. With strong Scottish presence, she shared the booth with biggest names of techno: Ben Klock, SLAM, Randomer, Clouds, ANNE, Fjaak and many more. More recently, she headlined the basement stage curated by Sisu at Hidden Doors — a prolific visual art and music festival in Edinburgh — and performed several times at Edinburgh's Terminal V Festival. Outside of the UK, she played in Poland in Berlin, with two streams from Berlin's HÖR Radio. 

Production-wise, ona:v has released her debut EP on Diffuse Reality Records in late 2022. With plenty more in the pipeline, no doubt we will hear more about her later this year!
