ABOUT QQ
QQ is a multidisciplinary artist, musical human, daydreamer & practitioner of Traditional Medicine. With roots in queer-punk DIY scenes, and a long history of playing in garage, punk and ambient bands, the transition to dj was an unnatural-next-step-turned-obsession. As a taiko drummer, QQ loves the driving rhythms of techno. They are drawn to the dark spacious industrial textures of EBM, heavy synths, and upbeat electro reminiscent of Montreal bands of the early 2000s.
