Max HeyraudThis week’s entry to the Local Selection comes from Belfast tribal techno and house-tinged techno connoisseur Princess Glitoris.
Emerging onto the scene in late 2023, the 25-year-old DJ has quickly carved out a presence with a sound rooted in percussive techno and hypnotic, groove-heavy club tools. Her sets carry a raw, kinetic energy, designed for movement but nuanced in rhythm and atmosphere.
Despite being a fresh name, Princess Glitoris has already shared the stage with heavy-hitters like Skin On Skin and X CLUB., signalling a fast-rising trajectory that’s hard to ignore. A recent feature on our “Mix Of The Week” series further cemented her as one to watch, showcasing an hour of precise blends, leftfield selections and confident pacing that speaks to a deep understanding of dance floor dynamics.
Her contribution to the Local Selection series is a brisk, high-impact ride through party-driven sounds, anchored in the housier edges of the techno cannon. Drawing from a house party mixing style, she prioritises bounce over blend, aiming to make the room shake rather than settle. It’s a style that Princess Glitoris has quickly become known for: unapologetically bold, rhythm-forward, and built for bodies in motion.
There’s no interest in a smooth, seamless journey here—and that’s exactly the point. This is upfront, in-your-face energy: compressed grooves, sampled chaos, disco-adjacent swing and tribal techno flair all colliding in real time. It’s hard-edged power with a singular mission—maximum fun on the dance floor.
