stress tess is a Brooklyn-based DJ peddling hypnotic, groove-forward techno. Her sets reflect an eclectic yet cohesive understanding of electronic music, moving through all kinds of pulsing sounds and rippling textures regardless of genre. She is also a founding member of @vortex.bklyn, a collective committed to the dance floor as a site of resistance and renewal. Their event series ✧✧ Area X ✧✧ will be back this summer.
