Who they are
“Pedrose’s sets are defined by tension and movement.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Pedrose’s sets are defined by tension and movement. Blending the swing of classic NY-meets-Chicago house with the raw pulse of Miami bass and Brazilian club, he resists genre constraints but always keeps the floor in motion. Shaped by a Rio de Janeiro childhood spent absorbing bootleg Miami bass in the backseat of his uncle’s car, Pedrose’s musical education has always lived between cultures and formats. He came up DJing in Houston’s house circuit—mentored by DJ Sun and Malcolm Bravo—playing near-nightly through the pandemic. In college, he wrote his thesis on the legacy of the 808 Volt Mix in Brazilian dance music. Pedrose’s crate-digging is informed by this experience, tracing samples back to bootlegs and street-level circulation. 2025 has marked a breakout moment. He’s shared stages with Dennis Ferrer, Chloe Caillet, MU540, Nick León, Prospa, Carlita, and Patrick Mason, with standout B2Bs at Fabric (with Tommy Gold) and The EDGE NYC (with Dennis Free). He’s also brought his sound to fashion’s leading edges—DJing for Nike, New Balance, Loewe, Coperni, and Middle East Archive—and was featured in Stone Island Sound’s mix series on Apple Music. That same year, he was included in the DAZED 100 list. In NYC, he’s become a trusted selector in the underground scene. He co-founded Estúdio Junto, a collective uplifting Brazilian artists across music, design and film. Its AO VIVO party series has become a key space for diasporic club culture, hosting artists like VHOOR, Th4ys, and SIXX4SIXX and bridging baile, bass, and global underground sounds. Outside the booth, Pedrose is also a creative director and visual artist whose work spans Apple, Vogue, and Dior. Most recently, he led the creative direction for Apple’s Club Radio, a new 24/7 DJ platform, and continues to bridge design and music through his multidisciplinary studio practice. Now in full production mode, Pedrose is working on his debut releases—original tracks shaped by years of digging, deep listening, and diasporic dancefloor research.often with Dennis Free, MESA, CAMILLA, none of them here that night

“Úrsula is a DJ born and raised in New York City, where her sound has been shaped as much by the city’s nightlife as by her Latin roots.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Úrsula is a DJ born and raised in New York City, where her sound has been shaped as much by the city’s nightlife as by her Latin roots. Moving fluidly between deep house, soul, R&B, and Latin rhythms, she brings a warm, percussive, and emotionally attuned approach to the dancefloor—one that prioritizes feeling as much as movement. Raised within a city where genres constantly overlap, Úrsula developed an instinct for blending sounds without rigid boundaries. Her sets often begin in a place of intimacy drawing from soulful vocals, slow-burning grooves, and rhythmic textures—before building into layered, percussive energy that feels both grounded and expansive. Whether weaving in Latin influences or leaning into deep house’s hypnotic pulse, her selections reflect a deep sensitivity to timing, space, and crowd. A regular presence within New York’s underground circuit, she has played at Public Records, The Lot Radio, Mood Ring, and more where she’s known for crafting sets that feel intentional, fluid, and deeply connected to the room. Across these spaces, she continues to refine a sound that is both personal and adaptable equally suited for late-night dancefloors and open-air sessions. At the core of Úrsula’s practice is a commitment to music as a shared experience one rooted in culture, rhythm, and emotional resonance. Her presence behind the decks is subtle but assured, allowing the music to speak while guiding listeners through a journey that feels immersive, dynamic, and distinctly her own.often with Callie Reiff, gabby cocco, Ella Strauss, none of them here that night
