Event artist spotlight: Liz Somes

The moment Liz Somes mixed her first two tracks, her mind switched off and the music took control. But the Seattle artist’s next chapter is far more deliberate. She intends for her fearless approach as an artist to carry on techno’s historic legacy as an inclusive safe space where groundbreaking ideas can take form.

Liz selects all of her music by ear, seldom paying any mind to the names on a given record. She produces thought-provoking tracks of her own — such as the corrosive “Mental Chaos” or hair-raising “The Unknown” — without trying to cater to popular labels. Her refusal to conform has paid off. A 2023 winner of the Pete Tong DJ Academy Future Talent Awards, Liz Somes is now a familiar face behind the decks on several continents.

It is at this crucial impasse that too many artists falter and start playing it safe, afraid to risk their mounting momentum. Not Liz Somes. She’s only just begun to explore the shrouded depths of her sound signature, calling back from the abyss at every purposeful step. Her commitment harks back to a time when techno broke the rules and contemplated a distant future. As far as she’s concerned, it always should.

These concepts are second nature to Liz, as revolutionary as they may seem. She follows the sound, honest and unyielding, faithful that all the rest will fall into place.

Event artist spotlight: IN_DUAL

With a prevailing tendency to walk the lines of light and dark, exposing boundaries at the intersections of duality; IN_DUAL weaves despairing basslines with notes of hope, and heavenly progressions with beastlike beats. He believes that love prevails in a world that does not deny, or indulge, but transforms the landscapes where opposites meet.

Since the beginning, IN_DUAL has sought to show that there is beauty inherent in the darkness; by embracing our pain, we can live in peace and harmony with ourselves. In dark rooms permeated with fast rhythms he gives permission to those ready to feel into their own dark nature. Decorating a moment in time where everyone can know they are not alone. His music guides the room into a collective state of being; one that seeks to unite and enlighten. Each set is a new experience that he looks to share with the world; an ever expansive story where the crowd becomes the hero.

There can be no light without the dark, nor dark without light; with embodiment of both sides we can bridge the divide in the INDIVIDUAL and attain a life IN DUAL.
