Ela Minus is the alias of Colombian-born, Brooklyn-based artist Gabriela Jimeno. One of the breakout artists of 2020, Ela Minus' debut album acts of rebellion came out this past October on Domino Records to both popular and critical acclaim. Citing Kraftwerk, Fugazi, and Daft Punk as early inspirations, her music is a bold fusion of techno, electro-pop, and ambient music with a political bent and a passionate punk spirit.

Ela Minus' guest DJ mix for Midnight In A Perfect World takes the listener on a hypnotic journey through underground techno, tech-house, and house rhythms that includes stellar tracks from Four Tet, Marie Davidson, Kelly Lee Owens, Overmono, Porches, and more, while also including Machine Woman's standout remix of Ela Minus' own single "megapunk."
