For episode 242, we feature DJ Sphinx, a Detroit-based DJ and multimedia artist whose path into electronic music is shaped by years of creative exploration and deep connection to community.
What began in a bedroom in West Michigan—while studying Fine Art and Illustration—has evolved into a distinct sonic practice rooted in Detroit’s rich techno legacy. After returning home in 2021, Sphinx immersed herself in the city’s underground, drawing inspiration from its enduring ethos of experimentation, resilience, and collective energy.
Her sound blends layered percussion, acid grooves, and Detroit’s driving pulse into mixes that are both introspective and physical. Influenced by early exposure to live jazz, spiritual traditions, and symbolic storytelling, she creates sets that move beyond the functional—toward the transformational.
From stages like Movement, Electric Forest, and The Great Beyond, to this latest offering for Blank Code, Sphinx continues to craft experiences that resonate on and off the dancefloor.
