FEMIX 22 // ADRESTIA by fempowermia published on 2020-07-23T18:47:50Z @ADRESTIA Based out of Brooklyn, New York, Adrestia co-founded her collective, ALKHEMY and their party, The Black Hole, in 2016. With her collective’s focus on diversifying lineups by elevating artists of color in techno, Adrestia has had a hand in developing the rapidly expanding underground scene coming out of Brooklyn. After gaining attention for her Boiler Room set at Unter: Latin America in 2019, she’s since earned the reputation for her unique and punchy sets heard at local gatherings like Fourth World, Dominion, a Discwoman collaboration party and the club, Basement. While she also made marks internationally at an ALKHEMY and ARTS showcase at Griessmuehle and STAUB in Berlin. What inspired this mix? I feel like it’s fair to say that we are currently experiencing a Black renaissance in arts and culture. After years of perseverance, and now the global movement for Black lives, the spotlight on Black creators has never shined brighter. As a BIPOC myself, I feel even prouder to be contributing in my own way. This mix is inspired by the energy and vibrancy I see every day in the artists I admire, the breathtaking work I discover and the unstoppable movement for racial equity. What makes you feel powerful? When I express myself through art is when I feel the most powerful. I was classically trained as a dancer growing up, so whenever I stepped on stage to perform I felt like the strongest version of myself. Now as a DJ, and most recently learning music production, I feel powerful having the control of my expression at my fingertips. I don’t need to say anything. Music does all the speaking for me.
