I’ll lose it if one more misguided brownnoser says they can’t find great women DJs or producers. Exhibit A: For the banging techno crowd, Russia-born producer Julia Govor may have snuck under the radar, until first tracks placed on labels like Visionquest, Get Physical, and Superfreq put the former MTV Russia host at the top of the pile. She quickly stripped down to the sparsest textures and boosted BPM for high-energy DJ sets. Equally entranced by melodic badlands as abundant technoland layers of shakes, scratches, and ticks, she now releases on her own JUJUKA label. TLDR: dark, fast.
