No accurate depiction of electronic music culture would be complete without special mention of Deborah De Luca. Widely acknowledged as one of the most prominent flag-bearers for Techno globally and a regular fixture inside the world’s most distinguished DJ booths, Deborah has the unique ability to transfix crowds with her electrically charged, technically nuanced sets, fusing hard techno with minimal grooves and melodic soundscapes to absorbing effect. A pioneer in the use of social networks as a promotional tool, whilst somehow managing to retain a strong sense of discretion in her private life, Deborah is unrivalled in her determination and passion, earning every part of her current status as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the international Techno scene over the past decade.
Born under the shade of the infamous Vele di Scampia – one of the toughest districts in Naples – the now-globally recognised DJ, producer and label head came from humble beginnings, forging her path to international success against unlikely odds. However this was to become her making. “You shouldn’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t become”, she expounded in a rare interview, referencing her early livelihood as a nightclub dancer. “It’s true, in recent years I have gained popularity, but I am very grateful for the long journey it’s taken”. More than anything else, Deborah’s roots and her unwavering ethic are an integral part of the flourishing artist we see before us today.
Deborah spent the formative years of her musical career in Northern Italy, following a brief stint at fashion school in Modena. Cutting her teeth on the European club circuit, where she quickly realised music was her true calling, Deborah’s hard work and relentless determination eventually began to pay off and in 2013 she launched her very own imprint Sola_mente Records. Created as a platform by which to release her own music, free from creative pressure and external constraints, the label went from strength to strength and in November 2018, Deborah marked a decade-long career in the industry with the critically acclaimed release of her debut album ‘Ten’. A huge milestone for the Italian producer, ‘Ten’ represented an important rite of passage and a body of work that she would cherish indefinitely.

For almost two decades now, in Paris then Berlin and now Barcelona, La Fraicheur has been making a name for herself with her signature sound of powerful, diverse and emotionally charged Techno(es) sets 

Running parties in Berlin's renowned clubs Wilde Renate & Mensch Meier, resident at Berlin’s Gegen as well as a regular DJ for the city’s queer scene staple parties Buttons, Pornceptual and House of Red Doors, member of Female:Pressure, the queer feminist activist is a marathon DJ who can go on for countless hours.
In the last years, she extended her craft by producing her own music ranging from Techno to Electronica. She wrote her critically acclaimed and politically charged debut album during an artist residency at the Underground Resistance studios in Detroit, her project selected by the Berlin-Detroit Connection, founded by Mike Banks (UR) and Dimitri Hegemann (Tresor). She was invited that same year by Roland to launch the TR-8S alongside Steffi, Virginia and Catnapp. Her most recent EP “Tabula Rasa” was released on prominent UK label Lobster Theremin in 2021.
Alongside her solo career, La Fraicheur created a duo with Leonard de Leonard centered on a Techno Live Act mixing modular synths and digital gear for a club-ready performance. She also composed the soundtrack for M.A.D, a contemporary dance piece by French choreographer R14-Julien Grosvalet which she also performs live.
Turning her merch into an intersectional feminist fundraiser, she raised over 6600€ donated to NGOs supporting women, migrant, trans people, queer homeless youth, victims domestic violence and sex workers in France, Spain, Palestine, Mexico, the USA and the UK.
In 2022, she launches her House of (S)PUNK, @houseofspunk a transfeminist record label focusing on the young queer, trans, cyborg and women electronic artists of the new pandemic-born rave scene of Barcelona.

name a few.
