Carlita — Sat Mar 28 | Factory Town (Drumcode)

About Carlita

Carlita is the stage name of Lebanese-Canadian DJ and producer Dana Karout — one of the most fascinating and fast-rising artists in global electronic music. Born in Beirut and now based internationally after years in Toronto and Berlin, she brings a distinctive worldview to her music: melodic textures rooted in Middle Eastern musical tradition, fused with the driving techno and organic house frameworks of the European underground.

Her rise has been rapid and entirely merit-driven. Sets at Afterlife, Cercle, Burning Man’s Robot Heart, and Sisyphos have established her as a DJ whose extended sets are events in themselves — capable of moving from ethereal, meditative passages to full techno drive without ever losing the emotional thread. Tracks released on labels including Afterlife, Innervisions, and her own Carta Music demonstrate a producer’s voice that is genuinely distinctive in a world of homogeneous production.

Her inclusion in the Drumcode Saturday lineup at Factory Town represents a significant statement about where the label is heading. Drumcode’s traditional sound has been four-four driving techno; Carlita’s presence signals an expansion of that palette — bridging the Drumcode audience toward the melodic underground and bringing a new generation of fans to the warehouse floor. It is a booking that reflects both Carlita’s rapid ascent and Drumcode’s continued evolution under Adam Beyer’s stewardship.

The Set: Warehouse, Sat Mar 28

Carlita performs as part of the Drumcode takeover at Factory Town’s Warehouse on Saturday March 28 — one of the most significant bookings of her Miami Music Week 2026 schedule. The Warehouse provides exactly the environment for the blend of melodic and driving techno that defines her best sets: concrete walls, low lighting, bass pressure that you feel before you hear.

Alongside Adam Beyer — whose Drumcode label has become one of her releasing homes — this Saturday night at Factory Town places Carlita in the precise company that reflects her current artistic position: credible enough to headline underground clubs globally, melodic enough to bridge into new audiences, technically accomplished enough to hold a peak-time slot on one of the most demanding single-night lineups of the week.

For fans who discovered Carlita through Afterlife or Cercle, seeing her in the more stripped-down industrial environment of the Factory Town Warehouse is a different and arguably purer experience. This is techno for people who understand that the genre encompasses far more than its most functional expressions.
