Emerging from a passionate involvement as a sound engineer for various venues and musical acts, and shortly thereafter as a performer for a nationally touring electronic act organicArma, Phaxas has carved out a space as a solo electronic producer, remixer, and DJ. With influences from House, Electro, Bass and Post-techno music, she creates a fresh breed of rhythmically-complex yet melodically warm electronica. Her skillsets as an audio engineer, sound artist, and live performer make for a sonically palpable and hyped atmosphere.
