A scientist by day and a DJ by night, Polish-born and Edinburgh-based ona:v began DJing in Edinburgh clubs in 2019. With distinctive taste for fast-paced and energetic tracks, she packs her DJ mixes with high-energy electro and techno. With the current techno scene being out of underground and subject to market forces, she finds gems amongst old and less known tracks and artists to create her own sound.

She is an advocate for female representation in the electronic music industry and believes the best way to increase the proportion of women in the electronic music world is platforming – and so, her mixes and sets always feature tracks by female and non-binary producers!

To further promote Scottish female DJs, ona:v founded an all-female electro/techno DJ collective EPiKA. The aim of EPiKA is to promote women playing heavier flavours of electronic music through organising a series of female-led nights in Edinburgh and to create a welcoming and supportive environment for beginner female DJs. EPiKA’s launch night was scheduled for April 2020 and cancelled due to the COVID, and the successful launch happened in August 2021. The night, called CiRCLE, runs bi-monthly in Edinburgh’s Mash House sweatbox.

ona:v also uses one of her radio residencies to promote female DJs by inviting female and non-binary DJs to record mixes for her monthly show on Edinburgh’s EH-FM community radio (CiRCLE by ona:v). To make the clubbing world more welcoming, she also runs a meetup page, where strangers can meet and join her and her friends for electronic nights out.

Despite the pandemic closing clubs (in Scotland, clubs have not opened in the period between March 2020 and August 2021), 2020 and 2021 were busy for ona:v. In February 2020, she played at the launch of electro-only night by the Scottish electro collective SLR. After clubs closed, she has participated in numerous streams and recorded a number of quality mixes for podcasts and radio shows, for example for Scottish labels Animal Farm and Hilltown Disco as well as London’s Loose Lips. She has since become a part of the Sisu roster and secured two radio residencies (the already mentioned EHFM residency as CiRCLE, and Fnoob Techno Radio residency as ReView), and played at multiple Edinburgh’s clubnights (CiRCLE, Overground, Powerhouse). Also in 2021, she has debuted in London, Liverpool and Aberdeen, playing in The Cause (London, closing the Loose Lips stage after Clouds and Randomer), Caf 1001 (London), North Shore Troubadour (Liverpool) and Aberdeen’s The Tunnels. In December 2021 she played at the famous H R (watch here).

In 2021, she delved into the world of music production. Her latest track, called Not Acceptable, dropped at the beginning of November by Pollination:

And there are more tracks in the pipeline!
