  • Kim Ann Foxman

    New York City, United States of America · 2 bookings since Nov 2025

    “The short-story version of Kim Ann Foxman’s trajectory is pretty simple: An island-born kid dreams of a life in clubland, hits the big city and, with a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work, emerges as one of dance music’s leading figures.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    The short-story version of Kim Ann Foxman’s trajectory is pretty simple: An island-born kid dreams of a life in clubland, hits the big city and, with a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work, emerges as one of dance music’s leading figures. But it’s the details that transforms her singular tale into something far more fascinating than the standard-issue success story. After all, what other DJ can lay claim to the title of Miss Teen Filipina Hawaii? How many can say that their first job in nightlife was when in high school, serving as the in-house dancer and serving rave smoothies at an all-ages club?  How many, after moving to New York by way of San Francisco in the early ’00s, can say that they helped to rejuvenate the city’s then-stale nightlife via her residency at one of the best parties ever held in a hole-in-the-wall gay bar, the Mad Clams affair? How many have tasted stardom as one of the original members of  the scene-making dance-music collective Hercules and Love Affair?   Exactly one, and it’s Kim Ann. But it’s a safe bet that she would have made it to where she is today without those biographical eccentricities, because her near-classical take on jacking club rhythms is hard to resist, sounding as fantastic at a full-scale mega-rave as it does at a grimy basement bash. It’s a universally appealing sound that’s taken her around the world—the past few years have seen her playing such hallowed halls as Fabric, Berghain, DC-10, Concrete and Contact, all while holding down a residency at her hometown’s Good Room.   A lifetime in clubbing has informed Kim Ann’s studio work as well, with her music—much of it coming out on her own Firehouse label—synthesizing the best elements of raw house, propulsive 303 material, emotive techno and even the occasional hint of trance into a hugely satisfying whole that lives somewhere between the weird and the wonderful. And then there’s her latest project, Pleasure Planet, which sees her teaming with Andrew Potter and Brian Hersey to add sparkling touches of extraterrestrial new wave to  the mix on her new sublabel, self:timer. It’s yet another twist in the continuing saga of Kim Ann Foxman—and, we’d wager, there are plenty more to come. Bio Written By Bruce Tantum

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    eoin dj, based in Berlin via stints in London, Glasgow and Dublin but hailing from the west of Ireland has been quietly djing, running parties and making music for a hot minute. Their own dancefloor productions have slowly emerged into the ether via smaller outings on various releases, most notably their collaborations with Byron Yeates and their contributions to the iconic Radiant Records IWD compilations. 2023 saw the release of Fantasi, eoin dj’s debut EP on the infamous Planet Euphorique, swiftly followed by their Total Body EP at the beginning of 2024, fittingly housed on Radiant Records. The releases have thus far turned heads and hips alike. The eoin dj rave experience draws from all hues of the dance music spectrum- sensual house jams, psychedelic techno, rolling progressive whatevers and understated breaks numbers are all up in the mix alongside dreamy ukg, pumping acid, sub heavy dub freak outs and all the cuts in between. Their selections are underscored by emotive, colourful, moods resulting in emotive, colourful moments on the dancefloor. Currently holding down residencies at Club Are and Joyride in London (the latter running bi-monthly at Corsica Studios), over the course of the past year eoin dj has played at Berlin institutions like La Noche, Dissident, Fandango and Hypersoft, along with outings further afield at Left Bank in Tbilisi, Macadam in Nantes, Hors Sol in Paris, Radion in Amsterdam and numerous appearances at London’s notorious venue MOT. 2024 will see a third release enter the cosmos and lots of exciting dates around europe and the uk lined up to boot. See you on the dancefloor.
    Their RA profile lists Planet Euphorique, Radiant Love and PLOT.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    She started working for the development of club culture in her native Venezuela since an early age. There, she co-founded SOLO, the first club dedicated exclusively to electronic music in her hometown. Now she continues that labor in Berlin with not one but two vital community-focused club nights. Her first called Mess, Mindful Electronic Sonic Selections, a forward thinking club night happening at OHM which have a focus on femme and queer artist from diverse cultural backgrounds, and it's dedicated to the celebration of diversity and supporting DIY club culture around the world. Her newest Mala Junta, which she co-founded along with Dj Tool and that counts with D.dan, Yazzus and Why Be as residents, is considered one of Berlin’s fiercest underground queer-techno parties, with a focus on inclusivity, Mala Junta approaches the faster, groovier edges of dance music with an open mind and a relentless spirit. Hyperaktivist have directly influenced a shift in the scene in Berlin, not only through introducing her Tribal euphoric fresh sounds, with great influence in her roots from Latin America and the Caribbean coast where she grew up, but also by constantly nurturing and pushing up her community and advocating political values of equality & diversity at the forefront of her projects. Since being selected as one of the Shape Platform for innovative music artists in 2016, she has been touring around the world. You can find her playing from Berlin’s most renown clubs to all across Europe, USA and South America, always bringing her characteristic energy and commitment to the dance floors, merging genres with ease she takes influence both in her time spent in Berlin and South America.

  • Mac Declos

    “Born into a world where rhythm and melody were as natural as breathing, Mac Declos was destined to become a musical force.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Born into a world where rhythm and melody were as natural as breathing, Mac Declos was destined to become a musical force. With a blues guitarist father and a singer-dancer mother, Mac’s childhood was a haven for artistic expression. By the age of five, he was already absorbing these influences, finding his first love in hip-hop dance, a passion that quickly revealed his prodigious talent for timing and musicality. Mac's artistic journey began in contemporary dance, where he earned a degree from the esteemed Centre Chorégraphique National of Roubaix. However, his boundless curiosity soon drew him to the world of house and then electronic music. The transition was effortless; as a former professional dancer, Mac understands the essence of groove. With a brilliant sound that defies expectations, Mac Declos quickly became known for his intense, precise, and technical techno sets: he’s a natural. His ability to blend mental and physical grooves with such finesse sets him apart as a virtuoso, a master of his craft. About to release his second album on Mama Told Ya, Mac Declos has remained relentlessly creative. Last year, Mac set the tone with the Angel Eyes EP alongside Pablo Bozzi on Second Sight, a heartfelt love letter to house and club music.That momentum fully crystallized in fall 2025 with the release of his second album on Mama Told Ya, Nothing Stands Still. Spanning 12 timeless tracks, the record unfolds as a multigenre statement, fluid and emotional, bridging introspective songwriting with forward-thinking club energy. In Spring 2024, Mac Declos dropped «Endless Cycle,» his new pulsating EP on XX Lab. Prior to «Endless Cycle,» Mac showcased his skills with previous releases that garnered widespread acclaim. His 2022 EP «Cuir en Cage» on Myst and his first full-length LP, the 10-track «Hard Work Always Pays Off,» released on Mama Told Ya in 2023, demonstrated his knack for captivating audiences. Collaborations with artists like Anetha, François X, Kuss, and Lacchesi further emphasized his multifaceted talent and influence in the music scene, cementing his status as a rising star. Mac Declos is far more than just a DJ and producer—he's a phenomenon. With a masterful command of rhythm and groove, combined with a fearless curiosity and genre-fluid approach, he’s one of the most exciting DJs to experience on the dance floor. He evokes a joyful yet frenetic vitality, transforming every set into an unforgettable high-energy experience and solidifying his role as a defining force in the future of techno.​
    Their RA profile lists Mama told ya, Agora Records and XX LAB.

    Copenhagen, Denmark · 10 bookings since Aug 2025

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    After intentionally spending years on the fringes of experimental dance music, 2015 saw Lee embracing the conventional release format for the very first time, accordingly establishing himself as a formidable emergent voice in dance music’s larger conversation. The resulting Snipestreet EP on Rabit’s Halcyon Veil label notably found the artist exercising a newfound mastery over original productions, in lieu of his usual, unruly approach to bootlegs and edits. Upon release it garnered widespread critical acclaim, with tracks and videos from it being premiered on DIS Magazine, a full-length interview appearing on The FADER, and Heroin Hat making it to FACT Magazine’s best club tracks of the year list. Since his debut, he's also collaborated with the likes of Rabit, Chino Amobi and Lexxi as well as released music on his own label Yegorka. Lee’s sound both on record and behind the CD-Rs defies easy compartmentalization: if anything, it is defined by its visceral uncategorizability. He’s as likely to draw on ballroom and rap as instrumental grime, but it’s Lee’s radically singular approach to putting it all together that makes him so exciting. Even if the ingredients are familiar, the end product never is: his hectic, cathartic, and uncompromising style of club music ultimately stands completely in its own lane.
