    “"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.”

    "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.

    the whole biography
    Brooklyn based Brazilian-American producer and visual artist Andre Lira, aka Doctor Jeep, has spent the past 16 years exploring dance music through a global lens. From polyrhythmic techno to dancehall, dubstep, and techy minimal drum & bass, his multicultural perspective shines through all he touches. Known for seamlessly blending UK sounds with music from his Latin heritage, DJ sets have taken him across North/South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. With appearances at Boiler Room, Outlook, Waking Life, Bass Coast, Mamba Negra, Bonnaroo, EDC, and many more, Doctor Jeep crafts a unique party experience adaptable to any vibe. His productions, incorporating a fusion of elements from techno, DnB, classic dubstep, and music from the South American diaspora, has graced labels like TraTraTrax, Nerve Collect, Kaizen, SPE:C, his own imprint DRX, and many others. He’s won accolades in worldwide media publications like Resident Advisor, Mixmag, DJ Mag, Pitchfork, and Beatport for his genre-hopping mixes and ever-evolving production style. With DJ support from a mix of underground heroes and mainstream festival headliners including Four Tet, Ben UFO, Skrillex, Special Request, Helena Hauff, Objekt, Diplo, Claude VonStroke and beyond, the future looks bright for this multifaceted artist.
