their own biography
the whole biography
Born and raised in Uptown New York, Alexis channels his Dominican heritage and deep passion for electronic music into performances that transcend both genre and expectations. With a strong curatorial approach, Alexis has become a sought-after figure in queer nightlife, performing in spaces such as Nowadays, Basement, Signal, Good Room, Papi Juice, and Nocturnal Emissions where he currently holds a residency. Alongside his club work, Alexis has developed an artistic sound practice through residencies for contemporary art institutions, including David Zwirner, BOFFO, and The Kitchen. Within these spaces, he has created immersive sonic environments and compositions that bridge performance, installation, and experimental sound—further deepening his multidisciplinary approach. Most recently, Alexis marked a new chapter in his artistic evolution with the released his debut EP, ARE THERE ANY HOMOSEXUALS?, and toured Sydney, Australia with HOUSE OF MINCE during their PRIDE festival, further expanding his global reach. As a DJ, producer, and visionary, Alexis continues to shape the future of dance music while honoring the rich cultural heritage at the heart of his sound.Last at Bossa Nova Civic Club in Oct · often with Sterling Juan Diaz, MORENXXX, Leonce, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Pauli Cakes is a New York born and based sound curator known for bringing people together and getting them moving. The DJ, community organizer, spirit raiser, performer, multi-faceted artist and founder of collectives DiSCAKES and xCAKES is an unmistakable figure in New York's underground queer rave scene. They've made a heartfelt impact on the nightlife circuit with their iconic raves, musical influence, organizing work, contributions to harm reduction and efforts to raise thousands of dollars for bail out organizations such as F2L, Black and Pink and The Friendly Commisary Fund and independent initiatives such as the COVID19 RELEIF FUND and various fundraisers for Queer New Yorkers in need. Pauli believes that limitations and binaries can be transcended through music, communion and creative expression. Pauli’s sets have been described as a “break neck wonderland” and a "Spirit Raising Journey Through Sound". Their sound is a high energy, genre bending experience filled with sonic eclecticism and colorful sound adopted from their stomping grounds of NYC.Recently at Market Hotel, Bossa Nova Civic Club · often with Xana 101, SKIN CONTACT, Vice, none of them here that night

“Bobby Got Back is a household name in NYC nightlife.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Bobby Got Back is a household name in NYC nightlife. He first developed his sound by throwing a series of parties called Private Practice in Brooklyn, which spanned the years 2016-2019 and hosted artists like Yaeji, Jubilee, Acemo, Kush Jones, and quest?onmarc. He has lended his talents to parties like The Spectrum, XCAKES, New World Dysorder, and Distrikt1, in addition to dropping multiple sets over the airwaves of The Lot Radio and Hör Berlin. His sets focus on speedy Techno, hypnotic Trance, and heavy DnB moments sprinkled with decorative glimmers of Baile Funk, Miami Bass, Jersey Club, and other regional sounds collected from his frequent travels. Last year he hosted a monthly 6-hour takeover on Brujas' Radio Bonita at XPizza in LES, highlighting some of the best and brightest up-and-coming DJs in NYC. He currently plays monthly at Martine in Rochester, New York, where the change of pace has led him to explore more traditional and sensual house music.Last at Paragon in Sep · often with Luis Fernando, P_A_T, Ultrapop, none of them here that night
