aNYthing is proud to present Venus X in our Spring and Summer 2012 Collection.

Venus X is an artist and producer born in Harlem and grew up in Washington Heights. She has recently made a name for herself in NYC’s underground music and art scene. Probably the most loved and most hated of her generation of punks, Venus is a new breed of bad girl branded by the phrase, IDGAF I DONT GIVE A FUCK. In 2009 she created a party called GHE20G0TH1K, merging opposite ends of music; the hood, the internet, the gangster, the nerd, the dancer…GHE20G0TH1K is recognized locally as the best party in NYC by Fader, New York Magazine and Village Voice, among others. Her sets contain raw blends of songs across multiple genres, bridging club variations and street anthems from around the world and transcending music eras. These sets are often experimental employing live-mixed sound effects instead of songs, live chopped and screwed remixes and opting for narratives before BPM matching. Venus uses the cdj as a sampler/drum pad and produces live remixes and new tracks by isolating loops and experimenting with blends.
