Shay De Castro
Hailing from a city with not one electronic music club to speak of, Shay De Castro has beat all odds to become one of the most thrilling techno talents from the North America in the last decade. Cutting her teeth on Mexico's thriving underground, the American powerhouse evokes thrills from the grittiest warehouses to the biggest clubs in the world. Her talents have garnered key support from every corner of the dance music spectrum, from Amelie Lens, Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer, ANNA, and many more all endorsing the young artist's productions. Packed with a club-ready vibe that radiates energy, Shay's success was fast-tracked when Factory 93 signed her track, 'Rapture' to their MODULE compilation early 2023. This debut soon led to a follow-up single, 'Memento', proved to be one of her biggest tracks and was added to the 'Best of Factory 2023' compilation alongside artists like Space 92, Nicole Moudaber, Jay Lumen, POPOF, and many other techno giants. Followed up by multiple chart-topping releases on mau5trap, she manages to straddle the line between the underground and commercial, seemingly without trying. On the back of an ever-expanding accomplishment list, Shay has been managing a busy tour schedule. While 2024 is only halfway over, she's already played the popular festival, Beyond Wonderland, along with Academy, Exchange LA, Superior Ingredients NYC, and joined Eli Brown on 4 sold-out tour dates throughout the West Coast. Despite having played nearly all the biggest venues in North America, she manages to remain a staple in the underground. Named by Beatport's Beatportal as 'techno's new queen', the world will only be seeing more of De Castro in the near future.
