DJ Minx's queer techno artist compilation brings back Women on Wax – Detroit Metro Times

This year DJ Minx is fully owning her queendom. Detroit’s “First Lady of Wax” is set to release a compilation of queer techno artists for Pride month.

Finally, we have something to look forward to after what seems like metro Detroit’s worst Pride month ever (we’re looking at you, Hamtramck).

The compilation, titled DJ Minx Presents: Queendom Vol. 1, includes new upbeat house tracks from Shaun J. Wright, Nita Aviance, Sydney Blu, DJ Cent, Debbie Graham, and Minx herself. It will be released on Minx’s Women on Wax label on June 23.

Minx came out publicly as a lesbian on Instagram in 2021, writing, “People suffer from emotional anxiety at the mere thought of ‘coming out’, but the stress of not doing so is taking up WAY too much of my space and is shaking my energy to the core. So here I am. Minx, DJ, producer, Momma, partner, lesbian, friend.”
She released her latest EP The Throne on Higher Ground in May before playing at Movement, where she curated her own stage of house music for the second year in a row. She’ll also play Detroit’s other techno festival, Charivari, on August 11. That festival is dedicated to the city’s contributions to techno and dance music.
