Bogotá-born, Barcelona-based techno purist and skill icon, Adriana Lopez, has been a scene-wide inspiration for over two decades now and creates an exceptional, atmospheric momentum with every performance..." - Stone Techno Festival, 2023.
The DJ, producer, and label head has showcased her distinctive style of raw, hypnotic, and driving techno through releases on labels known to nurture this sound, such as Spanish labels PoleGroup and Semantica, as well as Stroboscopic Artefacts, Modularz, BPitch and her own label, Grey Report.
Adriana embarked on her music career in the late '90s, starting in her hometown of Bogota. During this time, she cut her teeth holding down residencies at prominent clubs like BarC, La Sala, and Cinema, while also showcasing her talent across various cities in her native country. In 2003, she relocated to Barcelona, which opened up a global touring schedule with performances at top clubs and festivals worldwide.
With such a strong commitment and determination to her artistic vision and an outright refusal to conform to any trends, Adriana stands as a pillar for strength and authenticity. With flawless technical prowess, she captivates audiences with her signature blend of physical and dark techno and her sound resonates with us on a profound level, striking the perfect balance between power and subtlety but avoiding over-the-top antics and overwhelming textures." - Basilar Festival 2023.
With years of experience behind her, Adriana’s deep understanding of techno is evident in her high quality and tasteful selections: mixing records with a technical finesse that has led to appearances at the likes of Berghain and Tresor (Berlin), fabric (London), Concrete and Rex (Paris), Elysia (Basel), Grelle Forelle (Vienna), Lux Fragil (Lisbon), Khidi (Tbilisi), Fabrik (Madrid), Input and Razzmatazz (Barcelona), Basement (New York), Vent (Tokyo), Faust and Vurt (Seoul), Awakenings Festival (Hilvarenbeek), Stone Techno Festival (Essen), XRDS Festival (Brussels), DGTL Festival (Barcelona, Madrid), Rainbow Serpent Festival (Lexton) and many more.
Her sound is dark yet groovy, its rhythm and energy offer pure escapism. It’s hard to find a more dedicated, consistent and skillful approach to DJ’ing...” - fabric, London.
