Sweet Collapse is one of many EPs from Natalia Roth<\/a>, the Miami producer, resident DJ at Club Space<\/a>, and solo artist. This record, released on Handpicked, a sub-label of California\u2019s Music is 4 Lovers, obviously carries a techno<\/a> sound that has made her a regular on Space\u2019s darker lineups. <\/p>\n

Still, the EP and Roth herself seek refinement. On the one hand, her five-year career as a producer, DJ, and figurehead to her party series at downtown\u2019s Floyd<\/a>, Mel\u00f3die, has landed her in Ibiza for renowned parties like Marco Carola\u2019s Music On, hardly known for darker-sounding music. On the other hand, she continues to release icy tracks on darker-sounding labels.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like my sound has developed more in detail,\u201d Roth posits to New Times about the lineage of her sound. An early big break for the Puerto Rican native was having an EP signed to Sci + Tec, a minimal techno label founded by the legendary DJ, Dubfire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think over the years, I have gotten more nitty-gritty into the sounds I like and the story I tell. I think it has become more defined, but it still retains a raw, dark essence. Always.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be incorrect to say Sweet Collapse carries a \u201ctechno\u201d gene: The tracks have pounding bass lines, tunneling melodies, and a steady repetition, but that alone will not cover the four corners of the EP. \u201cIf I had to name what the genre is, I wouldn\u2019t be able to tell you,\u201d she confesses. It\u2019s ultimately a step forward to finding where she wants to plant herself.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The EP\u2019s title is also not easy to place. Roth describes a year filled with highs and lows that all influenced the album she began creating in early 2025.\u00a0 \u201cIt was all coming together for something amazing. I had a great year. There were a lot of rough moments, but also amazing things. Career-wise, I checked off a lot of dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first track, \u201cSweet Collapse,\u201d begins with an electro tinge, featuring spiny pads, percussion, and robotic vocals \u2014 \u201cWhat would you say if I told you\u00a0. . .\u201d \u2014 before unfolding into a sci-fi-sounding minimalist strip of music. Artists like DJ Tennis or Chris Stussy come to mind who could play this loud and true.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You then have the Adam Collins remix, which is cleaner-sounding \u2014 maybe a tad darker, falling somewhere in the mid-set or after-hours range. \u201cWhen the time came, the label owner asked me who wanted to remix, and I asked Adam. I\u2019ve looked up to Adam for a long time,\u201d says Roth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cMind Mime\u201d keeps that tunneling drive with its reverberating synth work and hazy breaks. Roth lends vocals to the track: \u201cIn the darkest corners\/I face my own reflection\/a mirror of the silence that goes without direction.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Roth comments on this track: \u201cThis one might have something more progressive with a little bit of techno and a bit of acid.\u201d The structure stays linear \u2014 no beefed-up, ear-piercing drops or superfluous ambient buildups. It\u2019s a bullet train going down a 10,000-mile track.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lastly, Chklte remixes and blesses it with a house-like feel. Its muffled bass rattles deep in the speaker, something a seasoned veteran like Mr. G would drop.<\/p>\n

Despite the EP\u2019s versatility, it has not been easy for Roth to play these out. Because she has been invited to play a variety of sets with different genres, mixing something like \u201cMind Mime\u201d may not work for, say, an Art Basel opening slot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing that was happening is that since I\u2019m a resident, I was getting different bookings all over the place. It could be a tech-house party or a techno party, and it was confusing people about what I would play,\u201d she says. \u201cThis year, I am being more intentional about what I play. It\u2019s not even about techno or house parties. It\u2019s more based on vibes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roth\u2019s ultimate conquest would be welding her love of non-DJing music with what she plays at the clubs.\u201cI like a lot of Spanish rock and alternative and industrial,\u201d she lists. \u201cI want to be able to evolve my sound into my dance music and listening music to colloid,\u201d though this is the same DJ who once mixed between<\/a> techno and Charly Garc\u00eda, Pedro Aznar\u2019s synth pop song \u201cHablando a Tu Coraz\u00f3n.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roth will welcome the new year with a special b2b set at Floyd with Dalva, Rello, and Ms. Mada on January 4<\/a>, and as an opener for Nicole Moudaber at Space on January 17<\/a>. <\/p>\n

As a resident, a DJ would expect to have wild stories to tell about closing out the club well into the morning as possible.\u00a0Roth\u2019s only tale is that she is spinning on the Club Space Terrace, an achievement fewer than a dozen DJs on the planet can say. \u201cIt has let me be able to read a room better, and it gave me the tools and space to read artists and gave me a platform to be where I am now.\u201d<\/p>\n

But she is ready to plant herself in a sound that fits her tastes \u2014 the only question remains what that is. Being in the music industry has given Roth a list of things she doesn\u2019t want to be known for, which is almost as good. \u201cThe whole genre thing is so confusing,\u201d even an artist of her caliber admits.<\/p>\n

She hopes to find her sound, or the right place, to harmonize.\u201cI want to do my own sound where I can fit in certain lineups, but whose music can also fit there.\u201d When asked what that may be, she admits, with a laugh, \u201cI don\u2019t know, that\u2019s what I\u2019m still trying to figure out.<\/p>\n
