LOCATION: Washington, DC

AFFILIATION: Noxeema Jackson

Originally hailing from Chicago, Juana is a veteran selector who has been making dance floors move since 2001. Her sound is deeply rooted in the raw, underground spirit of her hometown, with an undying penchant for Midwest techno. She has a background blending rare grooves, disco, techno, and deep house, which quickly made her a central figure in Washington, DC. She was a founding member of the influential Sequence collective, helping to establish a darker, more industrial techno aesthetic in the capital.

Juana’s creativity and technical mastery has led to bookings at global institutions like Berghain, De School, and Fabric, as well as international festivals such as Draaimolen. Juana has headlined major festivals in the US such as Wire, The Great Beyond, Ladyland, and HONCHO, and has been a yearly fixture at numerous Movement afterhours. As a producer, she has expanded her sonic footprint with releases on Bound, World Building, Faith Beat, and Illegal Alien, alongside her acclaimed solo EPs Floating and Peaks.

A dedicated community builder, Juana continues to champion queer, BIPOC-led spaces. In 2021, she founded the Noxeema Jackson (NOXY) collective in D.C., and in 2026, she became the newest resident of one of Brooklyn’s most popular raves, MERGE.
