    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Budino is an Italian DJ and producer who has been based in Berlin since 2012. Every free moment is devoted to digging for new music and exploring fresh ways to weave her discoveries together. Her sets unfold like psychedelic tapestries, blending industrial beats, tribal percussion, and rich sonic textures. Over the years, Budino has refined her craft through unique edits and reworks that bring new life and versatility to the rare gems she tirelessly unearths. After a decade playing Berlin’s most iconic queer dance floors, her deep connection with New York City led her to being part of the Gloria Danger parties. In addition to her work behind the decks and in the studio, Budino was invited to curate the fourth edition of Love International Festival’s compilation series, The Sound of Love International. Budino has performed at some of the world’s most legendary clubs and festivals, including Panorama Bar, Fabric, Club Raum, Basement, Horst Festival, Houghton, Dekmantel Selectors, Making Time, as well as delivering exciting back-to-back sets with Tiga and Ivan Smagghe. She is also co-authoring a book with Bill Brewster, exploring Italian dance music culture and the art of DJing from 1965 to 1995, coming out in 2027.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Gee Dee is a Brooklyn-based DJ and producer rooted firmly in North America’s club scene. With longstanding residencies at New York institutions Good Room and Public Records, and as a 10-year veteran of Philadelphia’s iconic party Making Time, Gee Dee has been commanding dance floors for over a decade. Since his debut 12” EP in 2020, Gee Dee has delivered standout records on Superior Elevation, Planet Trip, and most recently, Klasse Wrecks. He has contributed tracks to compilations on Dream Chimney and Terra Magica, and turned in a remix for Rhode & Brown on Permanent Vacation — a track that was recently supported by Matisa on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1. In 2025, Gee Dee launched his own imprint, Free Universe, with debut collaborations alongside household names Kim Ann Foxman and Roman Flügel. An optimistic sense of freedom and a contagious lack of inhibition shine brightly throughout his work. A true purveyor of the “anything goes” ethos, Gee Dee seamlessly traverses decades, genres, tempos, and moods in both his DJ sets and productions — taking listeners on a sonic journey that’s equal parts euphoric, hypnotic, and psychedelic. His sound reflects the past while pushing fearlessly toward the future... always guaranteed to make you sweat. Gee Dee has performed at leading festivals such as Dekmantel, Making Time, and Love International, and graced club institutions like Basement, Flash, 1015 Folsom, Floyd, Nitsa, Zukunft, Platforma Wolff, and The Observatory. Whether in the U.S. or abroad, his sets leave a lasting impression. Outside of his solo work, he is one half of Infinity Machine — a live ambient act with Juan Maclean. Together, they’ve released three album-length cassettes on DFA Records, with a full-length double LP slated for 2026. A consistent contributor to the online mix sphere, Gee Dee’s encyclopedic musical knowledge comes to life in guest radio spots for Peggy Gou’s Gudu Mix Series, HÖR Radio, Heels & Souls on Worldwide FM, Bar Part Time, Friendly Potential, Tuff Shed on NTS Radio, and many more.

    “JKriv is a Brooklyn-based producer, DJ, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and label owner.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    JKriv is a Brooklyn-based producer, DJ, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and label owner. With a professional musical career stretching nearly 2 decades, J has gained serious attention recently for his original productions and inspired DJ sets, and was called “an innovator of the scene” by Defected Records boss Simon Dunmore. It’s a title he has rightly earned, with releases and remixes on Joey Negro’s Z Records, Soundway Records, his own label Razor-N-Tape, among many others, plus massive new singles and remixes for Glitterbox. J brings a seasoned musicality to everything he touches, whether original productions, remixes or reworks and re-edits. A trained musician, his talent for dazzling live instrumentation is evident in original disco productions like his recent Traxsource #1 Soul/ Funk/Disco track Not That Serious (Big Love), Vertigo (Z Records) and Yo Love (Glitterbox). As a studio musician he has recorded bass, guitar, and/or written string & horn arrangements for Dimitri From Paris, Horse Meat Disco feat. Kathy Sledge, and as the producer of the sprawling Studio 54 Music: Night Magic Vol. 1 project, J reimagined disco classics with brand-new all-live studio recordings, translated through his modern club approach, garnering nearly 1.5 million plays for the lead single Souvenirs. J has a slew of new music forthcoming later this year and into 2022, including a release Dam Swindle’s Heist Recordings, Razor-N-Tape, and Glitterbox. A purveyor of all things outer-national, JKriv has nurtured a long-standing love affair with the music of Brazil which he realized through his 2017 Férias ’77 LP compilation of reworks on Razor-N- Tape, his 2019 Aguaxirê EP on Detroit’s Rocksteady Disco, and multiple releases on Brazilian Mareh Festival’s label Barefoot Beats. He has remixed African artists for renowned labels Soundway and Africa Seven, and 80s French pop for label Pardonnez-Nous, and both classic and current Afro/Latin sounds for Razor-N-Tape. His music has garnered support from all quarters of club and radio DJs, such as Derrick Carter, Disclosure, Andrew Weatherall, Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Mark Farina, BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong and BB6’s Craig Charles, among many others. Like his productions, JKriv’s DJ sets showcase his deep and diverse taste, weaving eclectic disco, house, and offbeat selections together seamlessly, always with an ear for groove and harmony, and an eye to the dance floor. As a founding member and resident DJ of Hot Honey Sundays, JKriv helped lead the most buzz-worthy new party of Brooklyn’s incredible comeback summer of 2021, growing a 2000+ devoted weekly following of dancers and a formidable social media presence. J has performed live and DJ’d in over 30 countries and in nearly every state in the continental US, sharing bills with Todd Terje, Tony Humphries, Dimitri From Paris, Joey Negro, and made his smashing debut at the Defected Croatia festival this past summer. A foundational member of the live disco band Escort, J has co-written/produced songs, and toured as bassist/guitarist with the group at Coachella, Sasquatch Festival, Electric Forest and innumerable club gigs around the world, as well as a original founding member and former bass player for the groundbreaking live-house group Tortured Soul. JKriv’s talents as a tastemaker extend beyond the studio and DJ booth, as co-owner of respected Brooklyn record label Razor-N-Tape. RNT now boasts a nearly 100-release-deep catalog that has garnered support and spins from some of the biggest names in modern club and radio, and is one of the most respected and consistent current independent dance music labels.
