DAN BAIN
Dan Bain says that DJs just play other people’s music. His humility, however, cloaks the fact that his DJ sets sound like his own harmonious song. Vocals that ripple, keys that drip, and buoyant percussion are the standard to this Detroit native.
Bain cannot be whittled down to a genre. Having traversed the dunes of house and techno, to the crest of indie and trip-hop, he maintains a unique presence. His sense of victory comes by reach- ing even one person in the audience, although the majority hold on for the duration of the set. His sonic language comforts the dancer who is heartbroken, gyrates the weekend warrior, enlightens the lost, and flirts with the rest, even leaving his own heart on the dance floor.
With an ever-expanding music collection that includes his favorite 12"s, LPs and 45s, Dan’s depth of knowledge hints at an insatiable quest of the universal language. On any given night, whether his message is through hip-hop, heartfelt house, or the quickened pace of techno, there is always a gentle let-down, but never a conclusion. You’ll have to return for the next chapter in the story.

ENERGY ARCHITECT
From Motown grooves spinning on her mom’s record player in Detroit to underground warehouses where the world first felt the pulse of techno, Energy Architect has always been immersed in music. Born into rhythm, she began DJing in Detroit at just 15 years old, in 1993 - a pivotal moment when the Motor City was laying down the blueprint for electronic music culture.
Originally known as Punisher, she chose a name that defied expectations and blurred boundaries in a male-dominated industry. One of the first women to carve her space behind the decks, she became known for her raw intensity and fearless selections. But as her artistry and spirit evolved, so too did her identity. Now reborn as Energy Architect, she embodies a deeper mission: to build sonic spaces where frequencies heal, rhythms transform, and the dance floor becomes sacred ground.
With certifications in energy healing and sound therapy, Energy Architect weaves more than beats, she channels vibrations and ancient light language tapestries. Her sets travel through house, techno, minimal, experimental, and ambient terrains, always guided by intuition and precision. Each performance is both ritual and release, where dancers aren’t just moving they’re being re-tuned.
As a producer, she sculpts sound with the same vision, crafting tracks that resonate like architecture for the spirit. Structures of bass, melody, and frequency designed to shift consciousness. Her journey is one of rebirth, legacy, and intention: from Detroit’s underground to the global stage, from Punisher to Energy Architect.
Her message is clear - ENERGY, FREQUENCY, VIBRATION is the architecture of the future.
