Three Powerhouse Women Set to Rock Beatport Live Los Angeles
On Wednesday, November 4, the pulsating heart of techno will resonate through Beatport Live in Los Angeles as three formidable forces from the global techno scene take to the decks: Ellen Allien, Laure Croft, and Lindsey Herbert. This night promises an unforgettable immersion into heavy grooves and deep hypnotic beats, designed to ignite the dance floor and keep you moving throughout the evening.
Headlining: Ellen Allien
At the forefront of the lineup is the visionary Ellen Allien, a name synonymous with Berlin’s vibrant techno history. Ellen, who founded the influential label BPitch in 1999, has dedicated her career to fostering artists who blaze their trails in the electronic music scene. Her initiatives, including the much-loved We Are Not Alone parties and Vinylism record-store sessions, exemplify her commitment to nurturing the communities that drive and shape the genre.
As Beatport’s Artist of the Month in July, Ellen returns to LA following the release of her latest album, New Life. This record is a rich tapestry of darkwave, minimalist arrangement, and hypnotic techno—a deeply personal collection where themes of grief, freedom, and renewal unfold in each track. Attendees at Beatport Live will have the distinct pleasure of experiencing Ellen’s innovative sound and impeccable ear for rhythm firsthand, creating a dynamic environment sure to resonate with both avid techno fans and newcomers alike.
The Sensational Laure Croft
Joining Ellen is Dutch-born, Berlin-based DJ Laure Croft. This selector lives by the motto “keep it sexy,” a philosophy that transcends her musical style. Known for her deep dives into vinyl, Laure crafts long blends and intricate transitions that allow each groove to seep into listeners’ consciousness.
As a resident DJ for Kinky Sundays and a frequent face at the renowned RSO, Laure expertly navigates from slow-burning tension to exhilarating techno raves without ever losing the infectious swing that makes her sets captivating. In line with her artistic vision, her label SEXYRECS prioritizes creative freedom and invites artists to trust their instincts, nurturing a vibrant community of like-minded individuals passionate about the power of sound.
Local Talent: Lindsey Herbert
Rounding out this exceptional lineup is Lindsey Herbert, a trailblazer in the LA techno scene. As a co-founder of EvilGroove Records, Lindsey has cultivated extensive networks across the Southwest through her residencies at Direct to Earth and Techno Snobs. Her dedication to the craft is reflected in her impressive discography with releases on prominent techno labels such as Truncate, NECHTO, and Noise Manifesto.
Listeners can look forward to a taste of her recent CBRK004 EP, released in June, which showcases her knack for hypnotic, driving techno. Having graced the stages of iconic venues like Tresor and festivals such as Arc Music Festival and Movement, Lindsey brings significant experience and an unyielding passion for techno that is sure to electrify the audience at Beatport Live.
