Incredibly on techno set from Smart Bar’s newish Research & Development series, bringing artists who are a little more explicitly weird or underground in for free Thursday shows. This particular Opheliaxz set is that rare blend of jubilant vibes and super hard techno. So many DJs seem to skew dark when it comes to techno this aggressive, but it just doesn’t have to be that way!
Opheliaxz has also put out some really choice mixes recently through the c- label on Soundcloud. Kelsey Knots, the real name behind Opheliaxz, is also integral to the Terry Radio crew, and therefore involved with some of the best radio on the internet.
