vanta (Hengelo, 1990) gravitates towards the darker edges of music: raw, trippy, off-beat and unapologetically uncheerful. Named after one of the darkest substances known, absorbing light rather than reflecting it, her sound follows a similar logic as she strips away brightness and pushes towards minimal and repetitive textures.
As both a DJ and producer, she channels this aesthetic through the mixer and the Elektron Digitakt sampler, shaping energetic yet gloomy techno sets and productions.
