The signing marks a clear step forward for THELMA’s international touring ambitions, aligning her with an agency known for nurturing dedicated underground electronic music talent.

Underground DJ and producer THELMA has officially signed with Meanwhile, the Netherlands-based booking agency dedicated to electronic music talent. The deal covers worldwide bookings, with the agency’s Marieke taking point on her representation.

THELMA (full name Thelma Chavonnet) grew up in Lausanne, Switzerland, a city with deep roots in underground club culture, before relocating to Barcelona.

She has carved out a reputation for selections that are simultaneously precise and unpredictable, crossing between techno, breaks, and electro without ever sounding locked into a single lane.

Artists like KETTAMA, Interplanetary Criminal, Skin On Skin, and Alarico have all backed her, a strong endorsement from some of the underground’s most respected names.

Her live profile has grown steadily through bookings at Intercell, Hotmeal, and Terminal V (three promoters with serious credibility in the circuit) and a high-energy Boiler Room set in Amsterdam that captured the explosive side of her sound.

Appearances on the Glitch Festival podcast and a BCCO live stream have also revealed a darker, more groove-focused dimension that she deploys with instinctive timing.

On the production side, THELMA recently delivered an EP on the respected ATW label, following earlier releases on London’s forward-thinking EC2A imprint, including her two-tracker Delusions of Grandeur, which drew praise from Mixmag and Clash Magazine.

Meanwhile is no stranger to signing rising underground artists. Earlier this year, the agency announced the addition of Matrakk to its roster, signaling a clear intention to expand its footprint in the deeper, more experimental end of the electronic music spectrum. The THELMA signing fits that same blueprint.

This is also part of a broader trend of specialist agencies making targeted moves, similar to KT Tunstall’s recent partnership with The Feldman Agency for Canadian touring.

Takeaways

This signing is worth paying attention to for a few reasons. THELMA isn’t a new name scrambling for a foothold; she’s an artist who has already earned credibility at the underground level and is now pairing that with professional infrastructure to scale it.

Meanwhile is a smart fit: a boutique agency with genuine taste and a track record of working closely with artists rather than just filling calendars.

What’s interesting here is also the timing. THELMA has just released new music on ATW, has fresh festival podcast appearances building buzz, and now has a booking agency actively pushing her name to promoters worldwide. That’s the trifecta of a properly managed career moment.

Does Meanwhile’s growing underground roster suggest the agency is positioning itself as the go-to home for serious electronic artists who want boutique-level personal attention? Could THELMA’s genre-fluid sound help her break into more mainstream festival slots
