BIO:

Carmilla Sioux is a Barcelona-based DJ and producer known for her distinctive blend of Wave, EBM, Electro, and Industrial Techno, captivating underground audiences around the world.

With over a decade of experience as a post-punk bassist, she quickly carved out a place for herself in Barcelona’s underground scene before expanding internationally, performing at renowned venues such as Gare (Porto), Urban Spree (Berlin), Radion (Amsterdam), Liquid Club (Malta), Moog (Barcelona), among many others.

Her latest EP, Lumina Obscura, released on Soil Records, presents a powerful sonic journey that explores alchemical themes of transformation, rebirth, and the eternal tension between light and shadow.

Since 2024, she has been running From Hell To Disco, a platform that functions both as a label and a creative hub — curating podcasts for emerging artists with aligned aesthetics and organizing live events. Through this project, she has further cemented her role as a driving force in Barcelona’s dark electronic music community.
