The tenth episode of Connwax Selected stems from a figure, who has shaped the techno scene in various ways: DIWA is resident DJ at About Blank Collective, former booker and has curated an impressive range of events, like memory, ghosts* and blank generation. In her work, the question of gender representation in clubs plays a significant role. With her feminist mindset, DIWA has fought for the growing presence of female identifying DJ*s and contradicted the antiquated idea of techno being male. For her, „all the the cool connections between incredibly amazing women“ that have grown in the recent years have great meaning. „This kind of solidarity is meant to unite, encourage and to stay“.
As a DJ, DIWAs sound ranges between „bass driven house/techno-hybrids to twisted deeper and rougher techno styles“, as she puts it herself, looking for the “emotional aspects of techno“. When digging for new music, she likes a diverse sound and surprises, melodies and alternating beats. For this podcast, Diwa decided to stick to techno, building a suspenseful dramaturgy full of intriguing grooves. While selecting and recording DIWA figured what this mix is about: an homage to the big floor. Anything else Diwa would like to tell us?
„F**k covid
stay strong“
