Who they are

  • Overland

    “Overland is a rave inciter and beat architect shaped by her upbringing in small town Alberta, Canada, and an itinerant way of life guided by the magnetism of disparate musical influences.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Overland is a rave inciter and beat architect shaped by her upbringing in small town Alberta, Canada, and an itinerant way of life guided by the magnetism of disparate musical influences. With notable sojourns in London, UK and Vancouver, British Columbia, Overland’s journey has taken her from organizing hometown warehouse raves and beachside renegades to high profile bookings at Berlin’s Tresor and Boiler Room x Igloofest Montreal. She consistently delivers impeccable selections spanning multiple genres, decades, and acid basslines. She pieces together a sound realm that's dynamic yet dreamlike, futuristic yet nostalgic, fierce and yet - at all times - euphoric. Reshaping the atmosphere with her energetic and deeply emotional sets, she proves that music is more than just sound - it's a shared, transformative experience.
    Their RA profile lists Sweat Equity NYC, NAFF, Naive, Planet Euphorique and 2 more.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Patrick Russell is a true veteran of the US underground, perhaps one of the last unsung heroes of a now lost era in the Midwest. A genuine sonic storyteller, he magically transforms the diaspora of acid, pure jack energy, and hints of IDM into a deep, fluent sonic dialog that never fails to devastate both minds and dance floor. A Detroit-bred DJ, artist, and producer active since the early 90's, Patrick has now made New York City his home. Perhaps best known as a key figure in the legendary No Way Back parties, his ability to weave intensely unique, long-format narratives has earned him critical acclaim and repeat performances at Japan’s Labyrinth festival, Berghain, Unsound, and DEMF/Movement. Patrick has also been steadily building a strong catalog of high-profile productions to compliment his increasingly varied, hypnotic, and in-demand DJ sets; his recent 3-track remix EP on The Bunker New York also marks his induction as an official resident DJ at the long-running Brooklyn party. His consummate taste and disciplined execution have created a respect that cannot be purchased. Patrick Russell is not just a name to watch, he is someone to be experienced.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Barera has been active as a DJ for over 15 years and has been releasing music since 2011. Resident Advisor called him one of the "New York techno scene's hardest-working DJs.” He is the co-founder of JACK DEPT, the techno/acid label with Volvox, co-founder of Supply Records, member of B-Tracks and an internationally touring DJ. He runs his own label called Cross Street Music. With his informed DJ style and insatiable appetite for new and old music of all kinds, Barera has forged a career that has taken him all over. This has included sets at some of the most iconic clubs including Hot Mass, Fabric, Smart Bar, Razzmatazz, Panorama Bar, Tangent Gallery Detroit, Tresor Berlin, Public Works & Space Miami's Floyd. At his core Barera is a club DJ, a diehard music head, and someone who knows how to do a proper set at an open air event. Barera’s productions have appeared on labels including Allergy Season, BOUND NYC, 2MR, Basement Floor, Sorry Records & Dolly. His tracks have been supported by top tier DJs and praised by outlets like Pitchfork and RA. John’s collaborative album with Will Martin, ‘Graceless' was released on Steffi’s Dolly label in 2014 after a successful track on her Panorama Bar mix. Their second album ’Proceed to the Root’ was released on 2MR in September 2017 and a follow up EP for the same label called "Life, the Heavens and Earth" arrived in 2019. In 2020, Barera released his debut self titled solo album on Cross Street Music and his album "Wild Going Forward" was also released there in 2021. In 2022 he dropped the Re-Enforcers EP alongside Paul Morse on Dutch label Patron records. He also dropped a solo 12 inch on NYC's Off Track Recordings and a colab EP on Sorry Records with Brian Abelson. In 2022 he scored his first film, "Marc17 in the House" , it had its first sneak peak screening at a sold out Dancing on the Charles event in his hometown of Boston that July. In 2024 he released his album "Forever Anyway" on Planet 9 Records followed by a remix pack featuring Panooc, True Yorker, Black Cadmium, Love Letters & Chris Patrick Remixes of his music. Support and feedback was huge amongst very respected and well known selectors on both sides of the Atlantic.
    Their RA profile lists Dirt Crew Recordings, Ortloff, Dolly, Jack Off and 6 more.
