ESTRELLA is a house-focused DJ from Amsterdam whose sound moves between uplifting, energetic and deeper grooves. With a musical foundation rooted in violin, she approaches DJ’ing with a refined sense of rhythm, storytelling and flow. Expect rolling grooves, basslines, and a focus on creating a vibe that connects crowd and space.
"For this set I went more into the minimal side of my record collection. Its given after afterhours vibe and shows the more deep slow and dramatic side of my sound. I'm excited to share this because it shows a different side of me. The records and the flow reflect the past month for me, a winter period where time seems to slow down, inviting introspection and reflection, and where a lot of different emotions come across."

For the Estrellas mix, the sound is a sophisticated blend of minimalist precision and deep, rolling grooves. It moves fluidly through the intricate textures of modern minimal techno and tech house, characterized by the sleek, hypnotic layers found in the works of Pascal Benjamin and Lupe. There is a strong emphasis on "reduced" dancefloor energy - focusing on steady, driving pulses and subtle rhythmic modulations that create a cerebral yet physical experience. This foundation is enriched by touches of classic deep house warmth and occasional breakbeat inflections, resulting in a sound that feels both timeless and forward-thinking. It is a curated journey that prioritizes groove and atmosphere, staying grounded in a refined, underground aesthetic.
