    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Rooted between Brooklyn and Los Angeles, OZA is a DJ, producer, and founder of the acclaimed queer party and multimedia platform TUNNEL, cultivating a forward-facing sound and connecting emerging artists with the wider world. His sets skillfully fuse propulsive percussion and erotic techno tension with trance-laced rhythms and expansive electronic textures. Unbound by strict genre lines, OZA channels an instinctive, kinetic sensibility that shapes both his artistry and the evolving sonic identity of TUNNEL. His performances span institutions such as Basement NY and FOLD London, as well as appearances at notable international festivals. With co-signs from Gucci, Lady Gaga, FKA twigs, and leading voices throughout the global underground, OZA’s world remains high-impact, high-frequency, and unmistakably his own.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Heavily influenced by innovators such as Throbbing Gristle and Floorplan, their productions encapsulated sounds that were inspired by the UK and Detroit, and were complimented with live spoken word. After moving to Berlin in 2016, they transitioned from performance art to DJing, where their sets on HÖR facilitated their breakthrough as a DJ. Having drawn inspiration from early industrial and techno pioneers, x3butterfly’s sets retain a raw and ominous quality, with a club twist. Prioritizing the eclectic, they often aim to take listeners on a story-telling journey while simultaneously keeping them on the dance floor. Their sets combine jungle, drum and bass, R&B, dubstep, techno, and other world sounds at 140-160 BPM. x3butterfly has played in various clubs in Mexico, Germany, Denmark, Greece, as well as a multitude of cities in the US. They have quickly become a rising NYC star, DJing notorious NYC venues such as Bossa Nova, Mood Ring, and Nowadays. You can find their most recent production titled “Holy War Remix” on Rubby’s Pájaro Malo Remix EP on Spotify.
