“Vivid” and “otherworldly” are words sometimes used to try and describe @erikadotnet’s singular sound. Combining a fresh, forward-thinking approach with a strong connection to her roots and the wider scene, Erika has become an influential presence in the years since she was first gifted a TR-606 by BMG and invited to join Ectomorph. 

As a producer, her work is grounded in techno and electro, but often goes much further afield, incorporating rough textures and abstract kaleidoscopic experimentation to great effect.
Alongside long-time collaborators BMG and Amber, she runs the highly-regarded label Interdimensional Transmissions (@ithqdetroit). This platform has allowed her to delve deep on a sonic level through a string of impactful solo and collaborative releases, while also overseeing and contributing to legendary Detroit events Samhain, No Way Back and Return to the Source.

The majesty in Erika’s Patterns of Perception 111 comes as much from its restraint as it does from its vibrancy. Layers of rhythm and percussion swirl and elevate, revealing intricate new patterns at every juncture. And while Erika’s expert pacing and evocative atmospheres offer a sense of low-slung sophistication, a subtle, raw energy builds, bristling just under the surface.

Patterns of Perception 111 - Erika

“This is a special one. On December 9, 2023 in a secret warehouse in Madison, Wisconsin, Interdimensional Transmissions teamed up with two titans of the Midwest, Remain in Night and Intellephunk, for 12 hour party called, appropriately, Midwest Freaks. Together, we curated the environment and the music, in the Cleanest Warehouse Of All Time (!!). I played after Aza and directly before @_bbmmgg_, it was like a special family reunion. I felt so comfortable playing there, so I wanted to share this set with everyone. Pictured here in front of Amber Gillen’s ‘Holy Parachute’, photo by BMG. ParachuteCon 23!”

IT.podcast.s13e01: Erika at Midwest Freaks, Dec 9 2023

Erika - Eerawai Ambient Series #28 @Zhaodai 2024/04/24

On Thursday the 21st of November 2024, come celebrate the pulsating heritage of Rotterdam’s Reclaim Your City at Saüle. Part of a new event series focussed on styles skirting what is widely embraced as ’techno music’, this first airdrop of the RYC squad promises to be a satisfying moment for all lovers of bold, boundary-pushing electronics. Clad in the austere industrial atmosphere of Berghain’s experimental-oriented subdivision, Saüle, the event gathers voices from distinct geographies and segments of the electronic music scene. From British master and seminal ‘Lost’ nights founder Steve Bicknell, who will blow the winds of dubstep across Saüle’s monster sound system, to Detroit-based deck whiz Erika who will get the heart of the Motown throbbing at the pace of its legendary electro scene, to London jockey and producer Cressida, representing the more alternative confines of the techno-adjacent sonics, from proper UK sound - understand jungle and grime, to techno itself, beware the torrential cascade of roaring machines and sine waves-spoken thunder firing on all cylinders. 

Thursday 21.11.2024 | Start 22:00

Reclaim Your City x Säule | Steve Bicknell

"AnKo INVITES" is my new project where I want to showcase local Mallorcan talent behind the decks, offering them a platform where they can shine (my twitch stream http://twitch.tv/ankocooks ) and to create a catalog  where I reunite them alltogether in this Soundcloud Channel for promotion purposes.

The 1st invitee is SELIN KAYA, young talented woman that has a lot to say through techno. She has already started playing in local clubs in Mallorca.

"Selin Kaya has a forceful style in which she travels from the darkest and most hypnotic sounds to the most accelerated and danceable rhythms. 

The musical genres she encompasses range from dark techno to hardgroove, always adding tracks with facets more typical of trance."

"Selin Kaya tiene un estilo contundente en el que viaja desde los sonidos más oscuros e hipnóticos a los ritmos más acelerados y alegres. 

Los géneros musicales que engloba van desde el dark techno hasta el hardgroove, añadiendo siempre temas con facetas más propias del trance."

You can follow her in Soundcloud here:
