RA.878 Akua by Resident Advisor published on 2023-04-03T07:47:51Z There are DJs, then there are DJs who capture—and live—a moment in dance music's evolution. Born in Los Angeles, but based in New York for the better half of a decade, Akua has established herself as the latter, an important voice in the North American techno scene. Akua's DJing practice is fueled by her research in the '90s techno music archive, with a special interest in the history and roots of techno within America. Akua's sets are raw extensions of the foundations laid by the pioneers of '90s U.S. techno. Most prominently, the work and influence of DJs like Jeff Mills, Claude Young and Jay Denham can all be heard across her mixes, as well as the spirit of Underground Resistance. Her interest in fast-paced techno comes from these traditions as well as own individualist streak—while there's no shortage of DJs who play high-BPM techno, you won't hear anyone else play it quite like she does. Her old-school meets new-school sound has catapulted her from the New York underground into the European techno circuit, where recent gigs have seen her perform at dance music institutions like Berghain and Dekmantel. Akua's RA Podcast is her in full-throttle mode, featuring all the stripped-down, hypnotic groove of early techno aside rushes of searing acid, carefully speeding up until closing at a healthy sprint. @akua_dj Read more at https://ra.co/podcast/878 Genre Techno Comment by dj marquinhos d"hells set Very Very good!!!!!!!!! 2024-03-31T14:39:40Z Comment by DJ Spirit really cool track 2024-03-11T05:09:45Z Comment by Samsouminator Yes sir 2023-11-20T17:33:34Z Comment by Samsouminator Thats the stuff 2023-11-20T16:40:25Z Comment by Soellvertu A WE SO ME 2023-11-15T04:24:21Z Comment by solarium damn this kicks ass 2023-11-09T00:45:52Z Comment by Ræza 🤍 2023-11-03T18:16:23Z Comment by User 795187525 awesome x 2023-11-03T03:11:40Z Comment by DJ SPIT vibes. 2023-09-08T16:55:49Z Comment by Mitia Pro 🔥 2023-09-07T18:54:39Z Comment by manokaber delicious combo 2023-09-01T02:06:58Z Comment by manokaber ecstatic transition 🤯 2023-09-01T02:05:11Z Comment by VINVAR Amazing mix 2023-08-15T14:57:06Z Comment by Ræza This mix is a real bomb omg 😭🤍 2023-08-08T17:55:46Z Comment by Mónica Coria 🥵🥵🥵🥵 2023-05-22T00:53:24Z Comment by cesanid ! ! ! 2023-05-16T16:13:57Z Comment by Schenna Track ID? 2023-05-16T14:29:26Z Comment by David Blue got DAM 2023-05-01T09:20:21Z Comment by Franiu :~) ID pretty pls :') 2023-04-29T12:22:57Z Comment by DJ HOCKEY !! yeow! 2023-04-20T15:27:17Z Comment by GAYWALLST 👅👅👅 2023-04-15T18:00:38Z Comment by GAYWALLST Holy cow 2023-04-15T17:45:51Z Comment by Haruka Katahira 🔥🔥🔥🔥 2023-04-14T10:10:23Z Comment by Shiva in Love with You nice 2023-04-14T04:16:46Z Comment by ThreeBelowZero <3 2023-04-11T13:59:55Z Comment by Dance with Pride @kessiekessy: 100% 2023-04-11T00:03:50Z Comment by XC-17 - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 2023-04-10T12:47:43Z Comment by Steven 🚀🌌 2023-04-08T15:57:13Z Comment by Kuscheln jeeeez 2023-04-06T19:41:57Z Comment by Ela Ibarra yeeeeesh 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 2023-04-06T15:58:31Z
