Scotia Scotia is a devout believer in the transcendence that occurs when seemingly opposing elements reveal their harmony. It is evident across her life – as a transsexual music school dropout living in remote Upstate New York – but it is especially evident in her DJ sets. Her sets weave together the contemporary boundaries of Techno with the foundational sounds of Acid, House & Disco, and Club music she fell in love with in her youth. Acidic wormholes (which earned her the nickname “Acid Cher”) can happily mingle with lost 80s Freestyle anthems. She is at once the motherly mystic & the firecracker trickster, and nearly a decade of DJing across the Northeast has given her the skills & wisdom to take dancers along storylines that twist & arc with the groove. Scotia is a resident of the Hudson Valley’s Community Rave Network, where she has lovingly helped to build a thriving Queer-centered dance community that has been blessed by both veterans like Gávilan Rayna Russom, Ron Like Hell, and up-and-comers like Hunter Starkings and Sister Zo. Her production work centers around simple jackin’ hardware tracks that utilize her own vocals, and are just beginning to surface on various compilations ‘round the world, with a forthcoming EP in 2024.
