Olivia Mendez is a vinyl-only DJ, selector, and
curator whose sets weave deep, minimalistic
techno. Her sound is rooted in rhythm – shaped by
her early years as a percussionist and dancer, and
refined through a deep immersion in London’s
underground scene between 2006 and 2011.
A passionate digger with a background in music
journalism and event curation, Olivia approaches
her sets as narrative journeys – sonorous, layered,
and emotionally resonant. From Brooklyn to Kiev,
she’s queered consciousness through sound,
creating dancefloors that pulse with tension,
release, and intent.
She is the founder of KONVENT, a FLINTA
collective dedicated to reshaping feminist discourse
through site-specific music and art interventions,
and launched her own label, Dust in Grooves.
Alongside Chami, she co-runs DIG Curated, a
cross-disciplinary platform spotlighting
underground sound, visual art, and
community-driven projects.
Now based in Berlin, Olivia continues to explore the
intersections of activism, art, and sound –
smashing the patriarchy, one beat at a time.
