EPiKA is a femme DJ collective based in Edinburgh. Focused on pushing the sound of true underground techno, the collective champions femme talent from Scotland and beyond. Created by DJ-producer ona:v, the collective curates club nights since 2021, and has graced Edinburgh’s most iconic venues – starting at the Mash House, through Sneaky Pete’s, until finding its forever home in The Bongo Club in early 2025.

With a strong roster of residents (see below) and a selection of guests, EPiKA has over the years strongly influenced the local techno scene. Their guests included Kessie, Maemm, VRGN, EKATA, A.mo and many more – up and coming femme DJs that are on the trajectory to impact global techno scenes. Beyond its club programme, EPiKA runs femme-focused DJ workshops led by resident instructors, empowering newcomers to master mixing techniques and build confidence behind the decks.

The key for the collective is their community-focus: EPiKA pre-event socials have become legendary – allowing the residents, the guest DJs and party goers to meet before the night begins. These meet-ups create dancefloors everyone knows one another – a community of hundreds of friends united by the music they love.
