Hard techno delivered with genuine showmanship — one of the fastest rises in the genre in years, industrial pressure with headliner presence.

Sara Landry was born in Sausalito, California, and moved to Boulder, Colorado at age three before relocating to Austin, Texas after her parents' divorce. At seventeen she moved to New York City for her studies, working as a promoter while she began building a career as a DJ, before returning to Austin to play venues including Kingdom, Plush, Parish and Vulcan Gas Company.

Often called the 'High Priestess of Hard Techno' by fans and press, Landry is a self-taught producer and audio engineer whose sound has been described as dark, driving and ritualistic. She has ranked as Beatport's top-selling female producer in the genre, building on the high-tempo, industrial-leaning style she is known for.

She released her debut single 'Chasm' in 2018, then signed to Mau5trap in 2019, which put out her first EP, 'Wait'. These early releases established her sound before she began operating more independently.

In 2021, Landry founded Hekate Records, named after the ancient Greek goddess of witchcraft. The label has released music from established artists including Nico Moreno, Shlømo, Charlie Sparks and blk., alongside work from emerging producers in the genre.

In 2022 she relocated to Amsterdam, where she collaborated with Don Woezik on the album 'Delirium'. Her profile rose sharply in 2023 when her Boiler Room debut set became the third most-streamed set of the year, drawing more than six million views.
