IMOGEN
Genre: Techno
Origin: United Kingdom
IMOGEN channels dystopian electro, rumbling bass, UK techno and choppy breaks, drawing influence from her storied years living in London while adding her own spiky twist to the darker-tinted tones of electronic music.
Listening to The Prodigy and Stanton Warriors at home with her mum in Southampton sparked IMOGEN’s interest in dance music. An underage raver at the time, she immersed herself in the scene, attending several house-led parties at her local club, Junk, before moving to London aged 16 to study Music Technology. Here, she learnt how to produce and DJ while cutting her teeth as a resident on Radar Radio. Featuring seminal guests like Ellen Allien and Umwelt, IMOGEN established her vision from day one. At just 18 years old, IMOGEN landed a booking at Berghain and has since evolved into the revered producer and DJ she is today.
In 2022, Voitax released her debut solo EP What?, which Resident Advisor described as ‘Fast, techno-infused electro from a rising star rapidly coming into her own.’ Her track ‘Up To No Good’ garnered praise from industry and dance music lovers alike. Earlier releases include her debut tune ‘Flesh’ on Earwiggle in 2018, followed by Volts co-produced with Ben Pest. Her latest release dropped on Steel City Dance Discs this summer with a fusion of hefty breaks and four-to-the floor beats. The EP also includes a remix by Radioactive Man.
Living in London allowed IMOGEN to soak up the city’s rich club culture and finesse her craft. As a resident on NTS Radio, she regularly plays B2B with her favourite artists, including Helelna Hauff, Identified Patient and Clouds, this was recognised by BBC Radio One where IMOGEN just hosted her debut show on the station. A former resident of fabric, IMOGEN has supported artists across the electronic spectrum and has played throughout the UK, counting shows at Warehouse Project, The Beams and festivals Glastonbury and Junction 2. Sharing her sound in Europe, she’s soundtracked Kraftwerk, Herrensauna, MELT festival, Awakenings and many more.
During the pandemic, IMOGEN explored ways to give back to the music community. She taught Music Production lessons via Zoom, sharing knowledge in an accessible, friendly environment. This led her to launch Wigs, an inclusive platform and party series that facilitates workshops and provides a hub for aspiring artists to connect. IMOGEN curates Wigs events with the same forward-thinking approach, breaking the circuit of tried and tested lineups and showcasing new names on the night.
The first event kicked off in fabric as part of the club’s 24-hour Continuum series. Since then, IMOGEN has taken Wigs across the UK and Europe featuring Aquarian, Daria Kolosova and Bjarki. This winter sees the birth of Wigs as a record label alongside more sold out shows across the globe.
A multi-disciplined artist, IMOGEN is a member of T.I.P. aka TripSixVivo, IMOGEN and Paàl. Together, the trio in corporate live producing and MCing, creating a hybrid of electro, grime, drum’n’bass and techno. Their debut EP Neosynthesis displayed their intricate dynamic and rugged aesthetic.
Entering the next phase of her non-conformist career, IMOGEN’s skill, dedication and grounded attitude are reflected across all of her projects, making her a vital talent in today’s electronic realm.
