"This is a person who's done so much for the American and global grassroots dance movement ... thing is it doesn't stop in this curatorial generosity, because Boo Lean is also the sickest of DJs, naturally vibing between sonic schools to a mesmerizing result." -- Naive Boo Lean (Lauren Goshinski) is a DJ and curator who’s crafted some of the most forward-thinking dancefloors and AV shows over the past decade. A trusted ear in more ways than one, she’s known behind the scenes as a founder and curator of festivals and spaces like VIA Festival, New Forms Festival, Hot Mass and her current residencies at Public Records and The Lot Radio. She’s also a board member of Resident Advisor, holding it down for independent scenes in a big way. In the booth she’s eclectic and elastic — playing with genre, tempo, pressure and pace to a mesmerizing result. Carving out murky chambers of hyperbaric dub, rollicking mountains of freaky drum play, crystalline pools of vocal hooks and euphoric melody, to all-out bass caverns for your booty, it’s all about riding an edge without falling off for Boo. She helped pioneer a new generation of audio-visual festivals in the US, co-founding the VIA Festival in 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA, and has utilized every opportunity to make viable space for womxn & non-binary promoters and artists across all her projects. As a curator she's facilitated unique collaborations between Oneohtrix Point Never/Nate Boyce, House of Kenzo/Team Rolfes, Pussykrew/Kelela, and supported breakout talent both in their early days and now: Yaeji, Juliana Huxtable, Aurora Halal, and Lotic to Giant Swan, Laurel Halo, NAAFI, Mike Q, Cakes da Killa, Junglepussy, Empress Of, Light Asylum, Nene H, Lafawndah, Jimmy Edgar, Jessy Lanza, Abdu Ali, Purple Tape Pedigree… the list is 1,000+ deep and keeps growing. Like any good rave mom, she curates programs that can thoughtfully link new voices with their predecessors like ESG, Tommy Wright III, Betty Davis, MC Lyte, Rakim, Richard Devine, Moodymann, Underground Resistance, Teklife DJs and more … encourage us to create new worlds together.Last at Good Room in Aug · often with Mui Mui, In Plain Sight, AceMo, none of them here that night

Conrad Taylor is defining the sound of the new global techno movement. Blending his heritage as a German-American artist with a classically trained foundation in piano, he’s been winning over crowds at every stage – from becoming one of the youngest elected officials in U.S. history to emerging as one of the most sought-after DJs on the global scene. Known for his high-intensity, genre-fluid style, Conrad has headlined across the US and Europe, capturing the public’s imagination with viral pop-up raves around the world. His remix of Rosalia's "Berghain" and releases with Tomorrowland Music have led to him to share the stage with the likes of Sara Landry, Armin van Buuren, Yellow Claw, Bassjackers and many more. Conrad continues to push the boundaries of the genre, proving that he is as much a master of the studio as he is a master of the crowd.Last at East River Bar in Aug · often with Diossa, Supergloss, Fenrick, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Gabriel Etrata's journey as a DJ is rooted in his background playing guitar, bass, piano, and drums. His favorite artists growing up include Jimi Hendrix, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, The Beatles, Tame Impala, J. Dilla, and NaS. His multi-instrumentalist background led him to music production where he developed an interest in sample-based, beat making, and eventually DJing/turntablism. The key moment he attributes to his development as a DJ is his attendance at the 2019 Goldie Awards. Witnessing the battle and the routines of legendary X-Executioners, Rob Swift and Mista Sinista, inspired him to pick up 1200s, records, and a mixer the following week. He continues to train in turntablism, receiving mentorship from Rob Swift's Brolic Army DJ School, and hopes to compete in a battle one day. He can be found spinning at various venues and events across NYC. In addition to music, Gabriel Etrata is a multidisciplinary artist and does work in photo/video. He is a member of BARANGAY (@barangay.co), an international creative collective based in New York City.Recently at Hi-Note, 99 Scott Ave, The Sultan Room · often with Jay Dalawa, LANSUH, Alcantara, none of them here that night
