Check out my interview featured on @djmagofficial . We talked about operation metro surge and the deep impact it had on our community. This one hit close to home on many different levels. As a Minneapolis resident at the time and, first generation Mexican American, it was near impossible to navigate these times without being on edge. As a brown person the constant anxiety and fear was persistent. If you or a loved one stepped outside of home, the probabilities of being harassed/detained or abducted by ICE agents were high. It’s wild to think back on how the safest scenario for BIPOC at the time was to stay home. Grateful for the people who stayed outside, stepped up, and helped. Special thanks to @mmckwrites + @djmagofficial for highlighting our experience. [full article includes interviews by @gothessmpls +more] by @elninoindigo

We’re back for the 25th edition of PARADOX and the celebration of ACME’s 8-year anniversary. For nearly a decade, ACME has championed non conforming sounds, emerging artists, and immersive cultural experiences across Minneapolis, Chicago, and New York. This summer, we mark the occasion with a lineup rooted in deep listening, bass pressure, and forward-thinking club music.
Leading the night is New York-based producer and DJ K Wata, whose meticulous approach to dub techno and bass music has made him one of the most distinctive voices in North America’s underground. Joined by acme resident TML and STARTHIRL. The night will also feature an open-call art exhibition showcasing works from local and regional artists, continuing ACME’s commitment to creating dialogue between contemporary art and underground music culture.
Join us for a night of mischief as we mark eight years of ACME.

New York–based producer and DJ K Wata (Kenzo Perron) crafts bass-driven music that balances precision, movement, and atmosphere. As co-founder of the party and label SLINK and host of the Micro Dubs show on The Lot Radio, Perron has become a key figure in a new wave of North American artists reshaping the boundaries of dub techno and bass music. His breakthrough 2021 EP What Do U Want?, established a distinctive sound—deep, hypnotic, and emotionally charged—while collaborations such as E-Wata with Enayet further expanded his reach across the underground.

{special guest} -MA SHA
———————————
New York–based DJ, producer Ma Sha is a vibrant force in the city’s underground.  In 2017 she co-founded the now NYC staple event series Kindergarten , and later launched Kindergarten records.  With a focus on cosmic club workouts and off-kilter rhythmic structures, Kindergarten Records quickly established itself as a home for hard-to-define, dancefloor-ready music. In 2022 the record label won “Best Breakthrough Label” at the  DJ Mag North America Awards. As DJ Mag noted, the label “has become an essential outpost for hard-to-define, easy-to-dance-to club music”. Alongside running the label, Ma Sha holds down a residency at The Lot Radio and continues to develop her solo productions. Her releases include EPs on Steel City Dance Discs and Nervous Horizon, as well as appearances on Nerve Collect, Rhythm Section International, CEE, and her own Kindergarten Records.

{special guest} - VIIAAN 
———————————
Hailing from Mexico City and now based in Berlin, Viiaan is a producer, DJ, and curator working across experimental electronic and club music. Her work balances darkness with undeniable groove, which moves in tension and shadow, driven by fractured breaks, weighted percussion, and immersive dub and techno structures. Previous productions from Viiaan have been snapped up by Polygonia’s QEONE label, DJ Plead’s SUMAC, and EMA’s Woozy, with a versatile and cross-genre expanse of work that could be as easily placed into a deep and meditative ambient release as a peak-time set.

FRIDAY 3/14 - CONEXIONES - DJ HYPERACTIVE, EL NIÑO INDIGO

Chicago-born DJ and producer Joseph Manumaleuna, aka DJ Hyperactive, is a key figure in techno’s evolution. Recognized as one of Daft Punk’s “Teachers” and and described by Resident Advisor as a “brother of the humble,” his influence spans generations and continents. He emerged from Chicago’s underground in the early ’90s, gaining international acclaim. Over three decades, he has played legendary venues like Tresor, Berghain, while maintaining deep ties to his hometown through performances at institutions such as Smartbar and Shelter. With over 100 releases on top labels like Droid, Figure, and Plus 8, he remains a driving force in underground techno, blending experience with innovation.

El Niño Indigo, weaves a mesmerizing tale through the realms of experimental music and art.  His sound immerses into a sonic  odyssey , where acid electro’s slithering depths seamlessly morph into heady house, trip hop, and  broken beats, exhibiting a technical finesse that transcends genres. In 2017, he transplanted his creative nucleus to Minneapolis, birthing ACME Collective and PARADOX. These platforms, echoing inclusivity, carve spaces where music and art intertwine. His influence resonates globally, gracing prestigious platforms, and clubs, like The Lot Radio (NYC), NTS (London), Inverted Audio (London) , Noods Radio (Bristol), HKCR (Hong Kong), Public Records (NYC), Bossa Nova Civic Club (NYC), Smartbar (Chicago). Rooted in the rebellious ethos of 90s skate culture, El Niño Indigo stands as a visionary force. His music, an edgy invitation, beckons you to traverse boundaries and embrace his distinctive spirit. taken in Podlasie Club by @elninoindigo

{special guest} - MOMA READY 
———————————
Wyatt Stevens is at the forefront of a young Brooklyn scene that's taking the dance music world by storm. He’s created a genre-agnostic movement that celebrates all facets of Black electronic music, from old-school Detroit techno to the early days of jungle, drum & bass and more modern strains of American dance music. His @hausofaltr [HAUS Of ALTR] label has become a hub for this community, releasing three massive compilations that define this new generation of producers. MoMA Ready makes dance music intuitively and without orthodoxy, where techno can suddenly morph into drum & bass and back again.
