Afra is right at the forefront of the underground where the electro, techno and acid meet. She takes equal inspiration from the Dutch West Coast as she does from Detroit, from the rawness of Berlin and the realness of her native Rotterdam scene, and pours it all into her own electrifying and all-vinyl sets.
Afra is a true crate digger and vinyl lover. The imperfections that come with the medium and the focus that is needed to mix black gold give her endless energy and a rush of goosebumps. The last year has seen her play Boiler Room and cult clubs Bassiani and Berghain as well as hold down a residency at much loved Amsterdam queer party Spielraum. At any of these places, you can be sure she will serve up unpolished, emotive sounds that pack an emotional as well as physical punch, all with tight technical skills and a knowledge of exactly what to play and when, whether playing time bangers or deeper warm-up sets.
Since setting up the Pinkman sublabel Mindri with Marsman after the COVID pandemic, Afra has established it as a cutting-edge place for fresh electronic sounds from artists like Pluto Junkies, Univac and The Hacker. It is another outlet for her to showcase her unique sense of style and taste as she continues to play some of Europe's most clued-up parties. Right now, there is no stopping her.
