TWIENA
Based in the heart of Amsterdam, TWIENA is redefining electronic music and club culture with a perspective shaped by her experience as part of the Vietnamese diaspora. Drawing on her heritage alongside wide-ranging global influences, she has crafted a style that balances control with instinct, guided more by intuition than convention.
Rooted in tactile, evolving club music, her sound is raw, innovative, and driving, enriched with rhythmic textures and powerful low-end energy.
Her broad taste allows her to move effortlessly across genres, blending groove, bounce, and intensity without ever losing momentum. Her sets blend rolling, hypnotic techno with vibrant, layered rhythms, reflecting both her cultural roots and extensive club experience.
By experimenting across the broad spectrum of techno, she keeps her mixes unpredictable, incorporating global club influences, polyrhythms, deep basslines with Latin elements, tribal textures, and body-moving electronic rhythms. Driven by a passion for complex, rhythmically layered sounds, she crafts a modern, powerful sound anchored in her unwavering sense of groove, with intricate textures and precise percussion at its core.
A key figure in Amsterdam’s club scene, TWIENA has been a resident DJ at the queer club RAUM, earning acclaim for rhythmic and playful techno sets.
Her performances across Europe, from RAUM and Panorama Bar to Bassiani, Blitz, and festivals like Lowlands, DGTL, and Awakenings Upclose, reflect both her global outlook and shaping her understanding of sound.
Alongside her live shows, TWIENA explores her signature sound on her bi-monthly Echobox show, XXX TWIENA, delving into the rhythms, textures, and moods that define her music.
The show gradually shapes a cohesive and versatile sonic identity that stays true to her vision, balancing precision and chaos while highlighting the depth, cultural perspective, and energy she brings to every dancefloor.
As a producer, TWIENA continues to explore diverse soundscapes inspired by her Vietnamese roots, global influences, and deep club experience.
Her latest tracks are crafted for peak-time energy yet remain nuanced, playful, and flexible, going beyond simple hooks to connect with what a dance floor truly needs.
With upcoming releases, she is set to expand her artistic vision even further, continually blending heritage, innovation, and fun at the core of her music.
