    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Polygonia is a multidisciplinary music and art project by Munich-based artist Lindsey Wang. Drawing from a background in acoustic instruments and a strong interest in cultural diversity, she creates colourful electronic music enriched with complex sound design and intricate yet compelling rhythms. Her work is defined by a dynamic fusion of genres, resulting in a distinctive sound that moves beyond fixed categorisation. Elements of techno, bass music, breakbeat, house, electro, grey area, IDM and beyond intertwine throughout her productions. This genre-fluid approach is evident in releases such as her album Dream Horizons (2025) on Dekmantel and the Otro Mundo EP (2023) on Bambe, while nature continues to serve as a recurring source of inspiration. In both DJ and live sets, Polygonia explores a wide emotional spectrum, adapting her performances to time and atmosphere. Since 2023, She is holding a residency at Munich’s BLITZ club. Beyond her solo work, she co-founded the IO collective and label in 2018 and launched her own label QEONE in 2022. In 2021, she formed the electric jazz trio Lyder and continues to explore the intersection of electronic and jazz through her collaboration with drummer Simon Popp. In 2025, she also co-founded the audio software company DSP Dealer.
    Their RA profile lists Nous'klaer Audio, Midgar, Reclaim Your City, Lowless and 6 more.

    the whole biography
    Spanish DJ and producer, Ne/Re/A, a fixture of Brooklyn's teeming techno ecosystem for more than 10 years, has a distinctly energetic approach to the genre - relentless groove and unapologetically timeless. In 2021, Ne/Re/A was named resident DJ of the Brooklyn-based queer party, MERGE, which has served as a musical home and has allowed her to explore the depths of her sonic palette alongside a sophisticated rolodex of the genre's legends. She has played alongside DVS1, Boris, Phase Fatale, Wata Igarashi, Takaaki Itoh and Ancient Methods (to name a few). She cut her teeth as the founder and resident DJ of Distrikt1, the monthly weeknight party at Brooklyn's historic Bossa Nova Civic Club. She's played reputable parties in New York - Unter, Wrecked, Bound and many nights at the city's premiere institutions in BASEMENT, Nowadays, and Paragon. She's played at Berlin's Tresor, Pornceptual, Gegen and at the iconic queer pilgrimage, Whole Festival, BULTO and Video Club in Colombia and Brutal in Mexico City. Her collaborative project, Name Names, with DC-based DJ and producer Juana explores the darker shades of her repertoire, where driving propulsive techno are at the forefront. In 2025, her prowess grows, Ne/Re/A makes her debut in Asia at Taiwan's highly-regarded Organik Festival and Seoul's Volnost, plays notable parties in New York like Wire Festival, Berlin and South America, and continues her residency with MERGE. As a producer Ne/Re/A sharply blends industrial and EBM with melodic techno into her own concoction - a heady assemblage of punch and drive. In 2025 she just released a collaborative track with Clarisa Kimskii in Phase Fatale's BITE record label.In 2024 she released two new tracks for Maison Fauna “In the Dark” and Infra “Piercing the veil”. In 2020, she released her first EP "Your World Took Your Future" on the Industrial Techno United imprint. She's remixed tracks for Alpha Sect, Rennst and throughout the years has contributed tracks to Soil, NOTT, Pildoras Tapes, Sinister Desires and Eclectic Reactions record labels.
