YAX PRESENTS // CARMEN ELECTRO (DE)

I’m pleased to announce Carmen Electro as my first international booking for Yax Presents, as she takes control of the Funktion One sound system in the Sugar booth delivering a 3-hour vinyl-only set not to be missed on her first tour of Australia.

Originally from Finland, Carmen Electro’s formative years were shaped by her experiences in America and across Europe, each destination leaving an indelible mark on her artistic identity.

Drawing inspiration from her diverse upbringing, Carmen’s DJ sets pay homage to the rich legacy of techno. While she seamlessly navigates through electronic music genres, it’s techno that serves as the red thread tying everything together. Her electrifying performances are more than just DJ sets; they’re transformative experiences designed to awaken the primitive dancer within us all. With an affinity for old-school raves, she effortlessly channels her boundless energy into every track, creating an atmosphere that touches on different emotions from deep to tribal, from ecstatic, to pounding. The most meaningful experiences in her artistic life have been connecting with people to whom dance was the only way to express their identity freely, against the environment or society’s expectations.

Her fearless attitude towards DJing mirrors her approach to life itself. Carmen believes in living life to the fullest, embracing new experiences, and pushing the boundaries of comfort to foster personal and artistic growth. For her, vinyl isn’t just a medium; it’s a tool for self-expression and exploration, allowing her to connect with audiences on a deeper level.
