DJ HieroPhunk! Hailing from Halifax, NS she spins a masterclass in genre-bending beats that will make your body move and your soul soar. HieroPhunk’s style is all about transcendence – she takes the classic sounds of house music and weaves them into a tapestry of sound that is hypnotic and otherworldly. Hierophunk reads the room like a tarot deck, with each track building upon the last to create a transformative experience for her listeners. DJ HieroPhunk has travelled the world and performed at club residencies and festival stages all over North America, Spain and Mexico. She is currently the co-founder of Halifax Ecstatic Dance and has a residency at the Maritime Express Ballroom where you can catch her spinning all summer. When she’s not spinning she is teaching at her children’s art program “New Earth Academy” in Wolfville NS. Check out her social media to catch her next show!
