His two EPs, 2015’s Aequs Nyama (Salviatek) and 2018’s Testigo (NAAFI), garnered support from Pitchfork, The Guardian, Resident Advisor, FACT Magazine , Björk, Kode 9 and more. Since then, Zafiro has collaborated with Matmos and Linn da Quebrada, and has remixed for artists on SVBKVLT and TraTraTrax. He has extensively explored in the area of field recording and sound design, working for Splice, Mubert and artist Catarina Miranda to create sample packs and soundtracks based on his own recordings of objects, animals and natural soundscapes. Zafiro is a skillful DJ with a playful disregard for genre consistency. He’s made mixes for platforms like NTS, Mutek, i-D and Noisey, has toured as a DJ throughout Asia, Europe, South and North America and has played in festivals like Sonar, Unsound, Primavera Sound. Lechuga is currently hosting a radio show in NTS 1 focused on Latin American dance music and field recording experiments. His upcoming album Desde los oídos de un sapo (TraTraTrax) has already received positive reviews from specialized press. “It’s sorta the club music equivalent of poetry, a music that focuses on suggestion and detail, rather than overall narrative” Colin Joyce “Uruguay’s Lechuga Zafiro has become a relentless force for South American music in recent years. He has taken regional sounds of the continent to the global stage.” Tayyab Amin,The Guardian Text by Nina PosnerTheir RA profile lists Naafi and TraTraTrax.often with Gavsborg, livwutang, NVST, none of them here that night

“Carré [kah-RAY] is a producer and DJ based in London via Los Angeles.”

the whole biography
Carré [kah-RAY] is a producer and DJ based in London via Los Angeles. Named one of Mixmag's "Top Artists To Watch in 2026," she's rapidly established herself as a defining voice in contemporary dubstep—honoring the genre's foundations while pushing it into bold new territories. She's also one of the driving forces behind Fast At Work, the underground party series and label that Resident Advisor dubbed "one of LA's best warehouse parties." Carré’s ascent has been marked by a string of celebrated EPs, including 2024’s Soft Fascination, which launched the Fast At Work imprint, and Air Sign on Darwin’s SPE:C—(the latter of which features the track Fawn, named #13 on Resident Advisor’s “Best Tracks of 2024” list. In Spring 2025, Carré made a powerful debut on the legendary UK label Tempa with Body Shell, a release praised for bridging dubstep’s lineage with her own futuristic sensibility, followed closely by Meltdown on EMA’s label Woozy and Up Too Late on Fast At Work. Carré’s bookings have taken her across Europe, the US and Japan, with appearances at revered institutions such as Panorama Bar, FOLD, The White Hotel, Outlook Festival and Public Records. With further releases in the works and a growing international profile, Carré is widely regarded as a transatlantic torchbearer for dubstep’s next chapter, part of a new guard capable of upholding the genre’s legacy while decisively shaping its future.Their RA profile lists Tempa, SPE:C, Woozy, Bait and 1 more.often with Skeptical, Eva Loveless, Introspekt, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Born in Diadema, greater São Paulo, it was in Londrina where Roniere Santos actually began his DJ career in 2010. From his experience in the neighborhood came the influence of Brazilian rhythms and syncopated elements. RHR, now based in São Paulo, takes a careful look at his ideas in electronic music. Hence the invitation for a monthly residency on French radio Rinse FM with the program “Som Sistema”. Defined by himself: percussive soundscapes form the combination that is gaining more and more space in the music scene in Brazil and around the world. Always seeking to understand the stimuli of São Paulo, the artist continues to expose research in multiple genres such as techno, bass, dancehall, electro, baile funk. He has participated in line ups such as Mamba Negra, Tantsa, Dekmantel Festival SP, ODD, Gop Tun Festival and DGTL SP. One of the highlights of RHR's career was his debut at Boiler Room São Paulo in August 2022. With five solo EPs released and one in partnership with North American Danny Daze, Roniere is preparing for a new release where he intends to share his artistic talents even more. In addition to partnerships with labels such as Omnidisc, Pac Recs and Nice and Deadly, RHR is an integral part of the NY-based label TIJOLO Records. Recognized for the precision of transitions and the creativity behind the choices made, RHR illustrates like few others the discomfort with the obvious. The ability to reinvent yourself in the midst of a wave of creative burnout makes RHR a potentially liberating force. All this without losing the artist’s characteristics, references and ideas. We can say that RHR has achieved everything without giving up anything.Their RA profile lists Dekmantel, Omnidisc, Live From Earth and Nice & Deadly.often with MONEYAMA, Skrillex, JASSS, none of them here that night
