Badsista:
Brazilian DJ Badsista’s musical ability leads the dance floor by various genres of electronic music, such as techno, Chicago house, Brazilian funk. Music of the global ghetto. And that’s why her presence is much sought at parties such as Mamba Negra, Sangra Muta, and Tormenta – the underground scene of São Paulo; or around the globe. At the beginning of 2017, Badsista started a new partnership with Brazilian singer Linn da Quebrada acting as musical director on her 2017 album ‘Pajubá’. This also kicked off their new project Bandida, a feminist DJ collective bringing women, LGBT folks and people of colour into the industry.

Siete Catorce:

With his signature blend of techno, industrial/EBM and world music in peak form, it stands as genre defining statement for techno in 2017. His follow up EP 瞬千擊 for Bedouin has been making massive waves, mining further terrain into an a genre-melting, global dancefloor sound where the rules of techno have been thrown out the window and fun is the paramount parameter.
