U.S.-based DJ and producer Bexxie may be a rising name in the house scene today, but her roots in dance music run deep. A DJ and producer since the late ’90s, her high-energy modern productions and nostalgic rave aesthetics have earned her fans around the world.
In our interview, Bexxie spoke about what led to the creation of “Dansez,” reflected on the intention behind her production, and shared memories of global crowds, 3 A.M. energy, and trusting the creative process.
“Dansez” stands out for its hypnotic, trance-like vibe. What drew you to the idea of incorporating French vocals into the track?
The idea came from a poker night with friends—one of them is Belgian, speaks French, and is super into dance music. He played me a few electronic tracks that had French spoken word, and that’s where the inspiration for “Dansez” came from. I also took French in school and have always loved the language, so it felt really natural to bring that influence into the track.
There’s something ritualistic about the track. When producing, do you think about the emotional impact your music has on dancers?
Definitely. I always picture how a track is going to feel on the dancefloor. I want my music to create that space for people, where they can fully escape and connect. I feel like the hypnotic percussion and lead sound really encourage that.
You mentioned the track came together quickly after a night of playing cards. Do spontaneous moments like that often lead to your best ideas, or was this more of a rare exception?
Honestly, my favorite ideas usually come when I’m not overthinking it. That night sparked inspiration and I just followed it. I’ve learned to trust those moments. The best stuff usually happens when I’m in flow and not trying to force anything.
“Dansez” blends nostalgia with modern club energy. What aspects of the ’90s rave era inspire you most, or feel the most nostalgic for you?
There’s this raw, euphoric feeling in ’90s dance music that I always come back to. It felt like everyone was just there for the music and the community—no phones, no ego. That spirit is something I try to bring into everything I make.
How has your music evolved since you first started producing?
When I first started, I was just figuring things out, throwing ideas at the wall, and learning as I went. Over time, I’ve gotten a lot more intentional, and I feel like I’ve found my sound, which has this mix of fun, high-energy, emotion, and nostalgia. And I’ve gotten more confident in incorporating my own voice into my production as well. Now I produce with a clearer vision and a deeper connection to what I want to say through the music.
You’ve earned support from major names like Tiësto, Diplo, and Martin Garrix. Has that support changed your approach to making music in any way?
It’s definitely validating, and I’m super grateful, but I try not to let it influence me too much. At the end of the day, I want to make music that I would dance to. It motivates me to keep pushing myself creatively, but I always want to stay true to the sound I’ve built.

Who were some of your early influences, and who’s inspiring you now?
Early on, I was really into Daft Punk, The Prodigy, jungle, and happy hardcore. Lately, I’ve been really inspired by artists who combine that nostalgia with club energy, like Eli Brown, Solardo, James Hype, and Calvin Harris’ Love Regenerator project.
You’ve toured around the world and played to very different crowds. Have those global experiences influenced your music in the studio?
For sure. Being in different countries and feeling how each crowd reacts to different moments has definitely shaped how I produce. Some places love a long build-up, others want to be hit with energy right away.
I’ve started thinking more about how a track will land in different settings, whether it’s a big festival or a sweaty club at 2 a.m. Those experiences have helped me create music that connects in different ways but still feels like me.

Looking back on “Dansez,” what does this release represent to you—personally or artistically?
It represents trust. Trusting my instincts, trusting simplicity, and trusting that a feeling is enough. I didn’t overthink this one. I just followed the vibe and had fun with it.
As 2025 is nearly halfway over, what are you most excited about for the rest of the year—events, collaborations, or something unexpected?
There are some exciting collaborations in the works and some new music that I can’t wait to share. More shows are coming soon, too! But honestly, I’m just excited to keep growing and connecting through the music. If something unexpected happens along the way, even better.
