Olivia Mendez

Olivia is a record proxenete, dealing grooves across territories her unique sound can reach. Influenced by Senegalese drums as a child, she later fell in love with Detroit’s postmodern aesthetics. From Brooklyn to Kiev, she has queered consciousness with roaring, pulsing soundscapes. Five years in the UK underground shaped her style, blending Breakbeat, IDM, DnB, Dub, and Techno. A passionate vinyl archaeologist, Olivia digs through record shops, cross-pollinating forgotten gems with the avant-garde. As a music journalist, artist, and event promoter, she curates deep, steady, minimalistic journeys. Founder of FLINTA collective KONVENT, she creates spaces to elevate contemporary feminist discourse—smashing the patriarchy one beat at a time.
