bio: born and raised in New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, swampy landscapes & a vibrant nightlife, enabled her to be the artist she is today. Being constantly exposed to music since the very beginning thanks to her Mexican upbringing, she was inspired immensely to dig deeply to discover different genres, including techno. With both brothers as musicians, Idalia tapped into her own creativity with collecting vinyl and finding her own path. Idalia is determined to make a name for southern techno by luring those into the faster, groovier side of techno. While staying aggressively on course with this goal, it has led to gaining attention and headlining events in Brooklyn hosted by TechnoFist founder Damon Bradley and being invited to play at Trax Only’s Bouffant Bouffant infamous queer party Gimme A Reason in New Orleans. Her performances are demanding while taking her crowd on a journey of hypnotic, hard dance techno with tasteful blends of early trance and acid, she can leave a dance floor constantly moving and enchanted. Being a complete trailblazer and reintroducing her city to the styles and tempo she loves most, Idalia is a pioneer of New Orleans in techno, now hoping to make Detroit her home, to mix the new with going back to basics.
