I am more than honored to have the first female guest on Infinite Beat Rachel Aiello. A large part of Infinite Beat's identity is to celebrate and feature women; women who produce, experiment, DJ, curate shows and are a critical part of electronic music.

Rachel is one half of VX, with Justin Anastasi (Surface Tension/Warm Leatherette/VX/Soft Moon), a new party that showcases experimental music. Their next show is June 4th at F8, featuring legendary producer Shifted (Avian) and San Francisco's Skander b2b with Ossin.

Rachel's set featured selections from Silent Servant, Andy Stott, Marcel Dettmann and others who have influenced her. She also shared an exclusive track that she has been working on called "Coarse Strategy." Thank you Rachel for a special set!
