    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Serbian-born, Brooklyn-based musician, Bojan Cizmic has been chosen by the island as its vessel on Earth and is known for referencing multiple genres in his productions. His smash debut, ‘Mango Bay’, named after the EP’s most successful single, plays with nostalgic sounds of 90’s rave culture and has garnered millions of plays on streaming platforms. X-Coast’s productions, along with his ability to effortlessly drift through different genres and musical styles, have earned the artist a ravenous reputation on the internet and beyond. Tours quickly followed across Europe, Asia, Australia and North America, where he cut his teeth behind the decks at some iconic venues and festivals (Igloofest, EXIT Festival, Printworks, INTERCELL, Knockdown Center, World Headquarters, Stealth, Macadam and Bassiani, to name a few). Carelessly flowing through techno, drum & bass and house with a unique twist; this led to releases on Steel City Dance Discs, Mama Told Ya, Unknown To The Unknown, Lost Palms, Big Beat, Hot Haus and the founding of his very own Riviera Records.
    Their RA profile lists Unknown to the Unknown, Hot Haus Recs, Steel City Dance Discs and Dansu Discs.

    the whole biography
    Ma Sha is a New York-based producer and DJ who has been active in the scene since 2017 when she co-founded event series - now a NYC staple - Kindergarten.

Focusing on cosmic club workouts with wigged-out rhythmic structures, the label “has become an essential outpost for hard-to-define, easy-to-dance-to club music in just two short years” [DJ Mag]; presenting “twisty, rowdy and unpredictable club music rooted in techno from both sides of the Atlantic” [Resident Advisor]. Apart from running Kindergarten Records, Ma Sha is currently focusing on her solo productions to present her take on experimental high-voltage dance music with a debut release coming out soon. However, Ma Sha is not a novice within the realm of production; as she has been active as half of the band Sha Ru who have been on the radar since their debut EP on Sorry Records in 2019, followed by releases on Infinite Machine, Pressure Dome, Progressive Future, Shubzin, Inveterate and of course, Kindergarten Records. Besides running the label, producing and performing domestically and internationally, Ma Sha is also a co-founder of Hone.Social, a free DJing workshop initiative providing a place to learn and practice within a casual and supportive environment.
