BitterCaress

For several years now, BitterCaress has been flourishing on her musical journey. With a solid background in classical music, having studied piano at the conservatory in Paris, she fell in love with techno upon her arrival in Montreal in 2014.
A professional raver and events' organizer, she had the chance to broaden her musical horizons before stepping behind the decks at the end of 2018.

Her sharp selection reveals a marked taste for heavy bass and uncompromising beats. Mixing trancy atmospheres with raw energies, her style is best described as groovy and energetic. The artist gets highly creative behind the decks with her openness to other genres and her appetite for risks when it comes to playing unexpected guilty pleasures.

She is already well-established in the Montreal local scene with many gigs under her belt, notably at Stereo Nightclub, the Society of Arts and Technology [SAT], Piknic Electronik, or for the OCTOV and Exposé Noir collectives. Having shared stages with Anetha, Nur Jaber, François X, Mac Declos, Parallx, Julian Muller, Laure Croft, or DINA among others, she has carved out her place in the contemporary techno landscape. Since the end of 2021, she has also begun to make waves internationally with several podcasts recorded for renowned SoundCloud channels such as The Brvtalist, RAW, Fast Forward Productions, SUBSTANTIV, or Groove Magazin. Continuing this momentum, at the end of summer 2022, the artist made her European debut, playing in Paris, Lyon, Madrid, Berlin, Copenhagen, and London. During the summer of 2023, she embarked on a new European tour and expanded it to Vienna and Prague. In late 2023, she debuted for Boiler Room in Montreal.
She is currently preparing a new European tour scheduled for autumn 2024.

Simultaneously, since her debut and until the beginning of 2023, BitterCaress has been curating the Mixing for a Cause podcast series where she gives the floor to local and international artists to raise awareness about causes that are meaningful to them. In the same spirit, since the end of 2020, she is now managing her own project called MFC Records, a label and event series initiated as a way to support newcomers, fresh talents, and established artists from all over the world who would like to support a cause. All proceeds from the releases and parties go to carefully chosen non-profit organizations. Through this series of podcasts, events, and this label, she hopes to raise awareness and contribute to a better future world.
