DESPINA

Despina (pronouns: they/them) is the pseudonym of New York based producer, composer, and DJ Mica Matchen. Their work explores the dichotomies and contradictions inherent in sound and life: rhythm and texture, male and female, hedonism and mindfulness. As fierce as Mica is with their rhythms, they are just as fierce about their politics, seeking to imbue their work with revolutionary passion, socialist ideals, and an ear to the future.
