Disarming dance floors with a magnetic fierceness, New York City artist and DJ Yesenia Rojas aka LOKA harnesses a confrontational approach to sound that is intuitive as it is experimental. The Miami native flirts with a versatile lineage of club and migrant percussions embodying borderless potential. CDJs function as instruments under her deft hand, defiantly blurring the edges of genre with an emphasis on eclectic rave selections, unconventional techno offerings, and a homegrown mastery of electro and bass. Expect total immersion and surrender.
Features and mixes include Dazed Digital, i-D magazine, FACT magazine, Complex, Resident Advisor, NTS, Rinse, and DJ MAG. Rojas has also released original music on DJ Stingray 313’s Micron Audio label with an EP for Tresor in the works, as well as activated spaces and performed at MoMA PS1, Sonic Acts Amsterdam, ICA Miami, III Points, Boiler Room Festival (NYC, BOS), Club Terminal, Art Basel, and Frieze. Together with MORENXXX, the duo produce the seductive raver series, SLIP, and perform together as SIRENS. LOKA also plays live with Tati Au Miel in their band, Formations For Eternity.
