    the whole biography
    FRIED PLATANO dishes out a fusion of Latin musical flavors mixed with hard hitting, bass heavy electronic beats. Being of Caribbean descent, he amplifies melodies and vocals from his culture with the current sounds of his NYC nightlife experience. His Dominican upbringing makes him serve up fast rhythms of Dembow gone wild and transports you to a hot steamy tropical dance floor.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    A triple threat who lights up a room when behind the decks, in the studio and on stage, TORIBIO is a lifelong student of rhythm. Analyzing melodies and chords with a musician's ear, the Dominican-American artist blends different genres and moods in all his creative pursuits–DJing, producing, singing, playing instruments, and even his skills on the mic. Thanks to a childhood spent playing in church and jazz drumming, the Florida-born, New York-based act has a natural sense of harmony. He takes on the role of musical cartographer in his Afro-Latin band, Conclave, whose debut album was named one of Resident Advisor's best in 2021 and praised by both Rolling Stone and the New Yorker. Acting as the ensemble's bandlander, vocalist, and key instrumentalist, TORIBIO connects jazz, soul, and house from various cultures with style and grace. His speciality in sonic connections are especially tangible in his DJing. Gliding from pan-Latin club to raw electro to jazz to old-school funk, his sets are a masterclass in building energy and tension. Whether playing Boiler Room or clubs in Mexico City and Tokyo, he knows how to work a crowd with selections and transitions that are as precise as they are powerful. As a producer, his edits and originals are DJ weapons, rinsed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Rich Medina, and Theo Parrish. His original tracks have been remixed by the likes of Louie Vega, Joe Claussell, and DJ Spinna. Known for fostering community through movement, his Brooklyn block parties (Public Service NYC) embody the spirit of New York’s dance culture while his newly formed imprint B.D.A. is quickly becoming known for bringing these vibes to vinyl. A TORIBIO show is a full-body experience— as he always says, “bring dat ass, and your feet will follow.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Honey Dip is the artistic moniker used by Tiffani Chalas for both rapping and DJing. Starting as a vinyl DJ spinning Arabic funk and disco, Highlife, and Afrobeat in Miami, Honey Dip has evolved into an open-format DJ with an eclectic, global selection. On club nights, expect to hear anything from Footwork to Electro, and Dubstep to Dembow. Although Tiffani prefers to stay on the business side of things, working as an agent, booker, and event producer, she always returns to music for inspiration and creative expression.
