    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Drew Baker is an NYC based House DJ. In 2021 Drew began DJing with his best friend Grant James, and before long they had dubbed themselves Less Talking More Dancing, or LTMD for short. They spent the summer of 2021 working hard to make their presence in NYC known. They landed their first major headlining gig just 5 months into their career when they played at the famed Pavilion in The Fire Island Pines. They quickly rose in popularity being fortunate to continue to play in venues all across New York City as well as Miami and LA. In October 2021 Drew's partner Grant moved to London where he continues to DJ. Despite an Ocean separating them, they are still very much a duo to be reckoned with.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    James Axon is a DJ, musician, and creator of the LA-based queer underground party Planet Love, as well as a resident on Dublab with his radio show Hearing Color. A lifelong pianist turned obsessive record collector, James Axon approaches DJing as an extension of musicianship. Before falling into house and techno, he spent years in bands and orchestral ensembles, a background that still shapes the way he thinks about rhythm, harmony, and structuring his sets compositionally. As a keyboardist and musician, he has collaborated with Seven Davis Jr. and Massimiliano Pagliara, and as a DJ has shared lineups with the likes of Octo Octa, Eris Drew, Avalon Emerson,The Blessed Madonna, Derrick Carter, Paramida, Peach, Moxie, Alex Kassian, Zombies in Miami, Jennifer Loveless, Sally C, Tornado Wallace, Perel, Eli Escobar, Paurro, and more. His sets drift seamlessly between house, techno, italo, electro, disco, and breaks, guided by an expansive taste shaped by pioneering artists like Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, Jeff Mills, Laurent Garnier, Andrew Weatherall, and Francois Kevorkian. His sets are always colorful, eclectic, and intuitively reflective of the setting -- whether playing cosmic disco in an intimate loft or hypnotic techno in a dark foggy warehouse, he still finds a sound that is distinctly James Axon: melodic and synth-heavy, driving and dreamy.
