TECHG1RLS #CANADA

Neon, black and snapbacks colored the crowd around the booth this Friday night for the TECHG1RLS set at Bar le Ritz PDB. With support from whyhaze and beamskii, the Miami-based DJ duo of Paris and Rosey brought high energy, and despite playing to a relatively small crowd they made it an iconic night – bringing a set that felt like the afters you never want to leave.

Coming from the Southern US underground scene, TECHG1RLS are definitely more aesthetics-forward than other artists that I’ve seen take the stage recently. Not to be a diva, but I recently was ranting to a friend about how lacking some DJ’s can be when it comes to presenting themselves in their sets. Of course we are there for the music, but if you’re presenting yourself in front of a crowd of people, I think they deserve something more than a dirty old t-shirt out of the laundry pile. Paris and Rosey showed up in this department, with neons, fishnets and their signature custom decorated snapbacks that double as merch. 

Before attending the show, my friend told me to expect “Frost Children but if they were from Florida.” This was definitely the vibe and the first impression we got as they took over the decks. The tracklist they went on to bring did not disappoint, mixing electronic, pop and trap tracks, bringing most of the crowd up on stage to enjoy the set up close. 

The night felt really carefree, and the girls themselves definitely helped make this feeling – one of them brought my friend backstage during the set to give her a birthday gift, engaging with everyone while also being really hot on the decks. 

Given they only have one single under their name, I didn’t really know what to expect walking into Bar Le Ritz for their set, but I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Here’s to more Diva’s behind the decks!
