Juana - IG Take Over — BLACK TECHNO MATTERS

I am a DJ and producer hailing from Chicago and have been playing house, techno, and disco since roughly 2001. In 2016 I linked up with Sequence, which was the first underground party committed to consistently showcasing local and global techno DJs and crafting a dark, dangerous, sometimes hellishly uncomfortable party vibe hitherto unavailable in the DC area. When we first started doing raves in 2016, Sequence was a mostly POC collective. I mention that because this is for Black Techno Matters and we cannot afford to let people forget that. Thanks in large part to my involvement with the Sequence crew, I joined the Discwoman roster in 2017. I helped found the DC-based QT BIPOC collective NOXEEMA JACKSON in 2021. As a producer, my first release “Discipline Issues” was released as part of a compilation on Katie Rex’s Bound label, and my first independent EP “Floating” landed in 2020. In 2021, I contributed to the TRAX ONLY Soft Touch comp, and my most recent EP “Peaks” was released in early July. Onward!⁠⁠
