Her works of art are colourful, multi-layered and four-dimensional and she is choreographing sounds like bodies in time and space. Educated in dance and classical music since childhood, the influences of her youth include classical music, minimal music, early electronic music, new and dark wave, new romantics, NDW and the music of Prince and his collaborators.

The FOAD co-founder FridaY is a bass&breaks DJ, experimental producer and a semi-professional goblin, while the British Berlin-based producer and DJ Withheld releases an annoying amount of very sick music under the umbrella of “miscellaneous electronic jams.” The feline duo involved in THREADS since years will be sharing new musical findings and goldie oldies across genres, mainly focused on the UK sound from DnB and bass to house, breaks and beyond. Meow twice if you’re locked in!
