fr. JPLA is a Leipzig-based DJ and techno purist who has been active since 2008. Originally drawn to harder Schranz sounds, she plays fast-tempo four-to-the-floor techno exclusively on vinyl, favoring high-energy dynamics and intricate mixing. She is a resident at Institut für Zukunft in Leipzig and co-organizes multiple event series including No Show, Connwax, Rillendisco, and Pillenrealität. Beyond DJing, she is committed to supporting female-identifying artists and challenging patriarchal structures within club culture.
