Bruxa are an American electronic band from Portland, Oregon.[2][3][4] The group consists of DJ/producer Derek Stilwell and vocalists Bianca Radd and Saint Michael Lorenzo.[1][2][3][4] Their sound has been labelled witch house;[1] however, Stilwell describes their sound as "witchstep," an experimental combination of witch house and dubstep they pioneered.[2]

In 2011, the band released their debut EP, Eye on Everybody, on Sweating Tapes.[3][4] This was followed by their first album, Victimeyez, released jointly on the labels Sweating Tapes and Mishka Records in 2012.[2][3][4] The group released a second album, I Don't Love You Anymore, on Miskha Records in 2014.[1]

The band's name is taken from the Portuguese word for "witch."[2] Radd, who is half-Brazilian, sings in Portuguese.[2][3][5]
