Tresor closing Pooja B (New Faces invited by Cecilia Tosh)

This was my debut at Tresor from December last year, when I was closing the night with a lot of nerves, but even more friends were there supporting me for New Faces, hosted by Cecilia Tosh, who has been my techno older sister of sorts. It went way better than it did in my head, haha. I have been meaning to post it for a while, and though my sound is slightly different at the moment, this has various facets of techno and mannnny tracks I still love and play. I finally feel like I'm a better Dj than I ever was, the growth in the last 6 months musically but also emotionally has been monumental. I'm so thankful for all the inspiration from friends who are phenomenal artists as well as for the opportunities I've been presented with. For all those who are miserable with anxiety and self-doubt, be kind to yourself and you will see miracles happen in how you feel about your craft. I hope you enjoy this special gift from my heart to yours!

Pooja B (she/they) is an Indian artist who is now based in Berlin. Her sound was heavily influenced by the music she heard here when she first visited the city back in 2016. Her idea of techno is a skittish exploration of time and space in this Dystopian world. While futuristic, loopy, industrial sounds for dark clubs are her signature style, she can skilfully adapt to play music for outdoor spaces. Pooja B used to release her music under the alias “ikigai” & more recently under her own name. Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means "a reason for being". Her reason for being is to make people dance :) She also takes a firm stand against racism, sexism & environmental issues, which she expresses via her music.
