Artist Spotlight:
Lady Starlight has carved a distinctive niche in the music industry by blending techno with rock and performance art. Known for her raw, hardware-based live shows, she first gained recognition touring with Lady Gaga, using the opportunity to expose a broader audience to the depth and diversity of techno.
Her dedication to musical innovation has led to acclaimed releases on renowned labels such as Figure, Stroboscopic Artefacts, Ostgut Ton, and Tresor, solidifying her as a pivotal figure in techno’s evolution. These releases highlight her talent for creating powerful, resonant tracks that have earned her respect within the techno community and beyond.
Lady Starlight’s passion for merging different musical genres has driven her to explore heavy metal and progressive rock. Her versatility has led to performances with legends like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, and even art rock shows featuring the music of Van der Graaf Generator, showcasing her ability to transcend musical boundaries.
Her biography is a testament to artistic integrity, innovation, and the courage to forge one’s own path. Lady Starlight’s journey exemplifies a profound commitment to her craft and challenging the status quo, making her an influential figure in modern music and an inspiration to artists and audiences alike. Her distinctive sound and dynamic performances have made her a beacon of creativity in the ever-evolving music landscape.
Lady Starlight is set to return to St. Petersburg, Florida, but this time for an electrifying performance alongside STERAC, where they will play a 2 hour improvised all-hardware LIVE jam! Do yourself a favor and make sure you don’t miss a minute of this incredible performance never to be replicated they way we’ll hear it again 🔊
Artist Spotlight:
STERAC is Steve Rachmad’s alias that stands for his darker and deeper techno output...
Since his earliest days in the scene, Amsterdam’s electronic music pioneer Steve Rachmad has created a legion of monikers to cover the variety and broadness of his compositions. Black Scorpion, Tons of Tones, Rachmad Project, Scorp, Parallel 9, Ignacio, Dreg, Sterac Electronics; they all represent a different facet of Rachmad’s music.
One of the main creatures living on Planet Rachmad has always been STERAC, a side of Steve’s musical personality that’s not easily described. Let’s say that where other aliases are used for excursions to more dub-, disco-, or house- oriented records, STERAC’s focus has always been on the no-nonsense, darker, and deeper side of techno.
The STERAC discography consists of signature cuts, spread out over genre-defining labels such as M-Plant, Tresor, Klockworks, Afterlife, Mote Evolver, Indigo Aera and Delsin. Over the years it’s been reinterpreted, remixed, and reworked by peers such as Ricardo Villalobos, Vince Watson and Marc Romboy.
The work rarely fits current trends or pushes through to the absolute top of subjective charts. Rather it simmers, always ready to spark the rise of new generations, parties, and artists’ careers within the musical biotope we all love.
His effort and independent attitude have made STERAC a regular on many a stage. From his hometown’s Awakenings, to Berghain in Berlin, Movement festival in Detroit, Fabric London, Loft Barcelona, D-Edge in Sao Paulo, and more.
& this Friday STERAC heads to St. Pete alongside Lady Starlight to debut their live collaboration project - 2 hour fully improvised all-hardware live jam - for the first time ever in the USA. Do yourself a favor and make sure you don’t miss it!

Artist spotlight: .ec 🕊️
MARRØN is always trying to exceed the limits of himself and the crowd, with his fast but extremely rhythmic sound driven by his roots. Highly inspired by the powerful and strong-willed Marrons who freed themselves from slavery to live freely in the primeval forest of Surinam. Starting his musical evolution with Afro Deep, characterized by its African beats and used these elements to connect with techno music. The freedom and diversity of techno persuaded him to really dig into the underground scene and create a name of his own. This sound contains African groove and a powerful but atmospheric techno sound with which he aims to hypnotize the crowd to stay on the dancefloor for hours.

Artist spotlight:
Now LA-based, INVT are the multidisciplinary art project of Luca Medici and Delbert Perez. The duo specialize in electronic music and fashion design. Their sound consists of a mix of Jungle, Techno, UKG, Dubstep and various forms of Latin bass music, like Dembow, Cumbia, and Reggaeton. Considered by Miami New Times as one of the “Ten Best Electronic Acts in Miami”, Luca and Delbert have grown their audience through their high energy live electronic shows as seen in their latest Boiler Room as well as their DJ sets and various independent releases that are all produced, mixed, mastered by the two.
In addition to their music, Luca and Delbert have launched a sustainable clothing project in which they repurpose vintage clothing through screen-printing, embroidery, cut and sew, and acid washing. Every piece is a one of a kind garment made by hand in Miami by Luca and Delbert. Their designs and stylistic choices, such as the color schemes and graphics, are highly influenced by Miami’s unique environment. Many of the silk screen designs are photoshop collages made from photos they have taken in Miami. Many of these designs are also seen in cover art for their music which is also designed by them.
The boys make their return to Orlando and the Tampa Bay Area this weekend courtesy of Fader Events - Scoop those last minute tickets to catch the guys at tonight and tomorrow by clicking the 🔗 in our bio & we’ll see you soon😵💫
Artist spotlight:
A resident and key member of Club Space and III Points Festival, his creative ventures seep into different areas within the sonic scene - from releases on labels like OMNIDISC, Space Tapes and Schematic as well as collaborations with Danny Daze, Nick León, Coffintexts and INVT. His latest endeavor is cofounding the party series ODD (Objects Don’t Dance) with collaborators Sister System and True Vine. JFS produces a range of sounds with no constraint - drummy ambient techno sounds, ethereal downtempo melodies, droning sonic syncopations, all shaken down to the core.
Jonny returns to the Fader stage 2 years to the date of his last visit, when he and Danny Daze took us on a journey at The Attic in Ybor July 2021. Catch him this time with his close friends for a double-header weekend in Orlando & St. Pete 😵💫😎🫠🔊

Special thanks to for these spectacular shots 📸
Artist Spotlight:
A young artist on the rise who knew how to stand out from the musical limits of his country. Jorge Cebrián aka Åre:gone, from Havana, Cuba, is positioned among the first lines of contemporary Techno. With almost 10 years of experience, he has transited through various expressions of the genre, standing out for his characteristic groovy, organic and Cuban touch.
In 2017 he founded with a group of friends the Rusty Nails collective, a space to promote the underground techno culture poorly known at that time in his country. Standing out for his long and liked sessions, which led him to gain the respect of the national public. Helping to build the solid foundations of what today is the Cuban techno scene. In 2022, he co-founded, together with other artists of national renown, what is today the Vórtice. The collective has become the main pillar of the national scene.
His last Ep released on the Mexican label Anaøh, positioned him on the top of the sales charts of the most important digital stores. International artists such as Ben Sims, DVS1, just to mention a few, have played his music in the most important clubs and festivals of the international techno scene such as Berghain, Tresor among others.
He currently resides in Tampa, Florida, USA. Being faced with future limitations and repression from the Cuban government, Cuban artists with alternative approaches to established ones have been stifled in their creativity. This forced him and a large number of people to escape through Nicaragua to the United States.
His talents have led him to the Fader stage where he is set to make his debut this Saturday in Miami alongside SHDW & Obscure Shape, Dzenan X Jovan & Antonella Zambrano, with a proper closing set. Scoop your tickets now and avoid paying door prices for this epic line up!
