Novah conquered world stages with a mix of hit techno and excursions into acid or psytrance, rapidly rising as a top star in Belgium’s dance music circuit. Although she drew inspiration from Amelie Lens, the two now walk hand in hand as peers. Her track “Inner Odyssey,” featured on last year’s Exhale compilation, is a masterclass in her signature sound: massive beats, relentless pace, visceral bass, and acid-trip-style vocals.

ØTTA found her sound by exploring sounds from Brazil. Her approach to bounce and trance is peppered with elements of baile funk, captivating vocals, and dense, driving drums and percussion.

They are coming to Audioriver with a beautiful live act presenting their vision of dance music, where the boundaries between house, techno, and bass music are epically blurred, and you can’t dance without your hands in the air.
