R-DNA

28 listings in 9 named rooms, over the last three years · 4 ahead · Kyiv

R-DNA's selections are guided by a deep belief in the meditative, healing power of electronic music — an ethos shaped by years immersed in the underground queer scenes of Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Taipei before moving to New York.

Their sound follows long emotional arcs built through extended blends and subtle shifts, moving fluidly between minimal, percussive depth and hardgroove peak-time pressure — drawing on the tension and release that defines both dancefloor ritual and personal transformation.

As host of tension/release on Newtown Radio, R-DNA extends that ethos into curation — platforming emerging queer and FLINTA* artists in NYC and beyond through a techno-rooted, genre-fluid format that prioritizes depth over trend.

Their rooms

One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2023, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.

Who they play with

Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
