USA-BORN, CANADA BASED
Shades of Day is an American-Canadian DJ and producer from Nebraska, crafting thumping progressive and melodic techno. Influenced by Eastern European talent - drawing inspiration from artists like Michael A, Redspace, and early Miss Monique - her style balances driving energy with emotional depth.
In 2026, she released her debut single "Mindfield" and later her EP "Take Space" on Barcelona label, MIR Music, and has been co-curating the progressive house event group "Thalassa".
Shades of Day has an established presence in Vancouver and Seattle, sharing the stage with Deadmau5, Kaskade, Nora En Pure, Cristoph, Matthias Meyer, HANA, Simon Vuarambon, Nils Hoffmann, and HNTR, among others.
Audiences consistently describe her sets as cinematic, rhythmically creative, and artistic richness, unfolding as a narrative built for the dancefloor that is rooted firmly in the underground.
