    their own biography

    the whole biography
    His vast musical output spans many different worlds – some real, some imagined - and does so in a unique and captivating fashion that keeps listeners enthralled. Since first emerging in the early nineties as a key part of the Dutch West Coast scene and Bunker family, he has become a core member of that crew who takes inspiration from Detroit and Chicago pioneers but also fantasy films and sci-fi culture, and is nowadays a modern day techno pin-up in his own rite. What's more, rarely does a year go by when he doesn't release an essential album. Most frequently producing as Legowelt, his unique style comes form an unfaltering devotion to hardware, be it old, new or totally knackered. Jamming all day long on music making toys, his output veers from dense and foresty techno to whizzing electro, deeper electronic and stuff for which there isn't even a name yet. Clone, L.I.E.S., Creme Organization, Peoples Potential Unlimited, Dekmantel, you name it, they have all come calling for the man's music. Quite simply the guy is an artist and musical force that cannot be stopped.
    Their RA profile lists Cocoon Recordings, Clone Records, Clone Classic Cuts, Open Concept Recordings and 6 more.

  • Andi

    New York City · 174 bookings since Aug 2023

    “Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets. The NYC-based DJ, producer, and SYNTHICIDE label/party boss constructs a dynamic and intoxicating flow that’s always palpable between the walls of the foggy, neon-lit dancefloor. Parts sleaze and sultry, Andi’s aesthetic is body music based, thriving on the delivery of the groove and the bombastic highs of a track’s apex. As a devotee of distinct sounds such as EBM, new beat, Italo, freestyle and housey 90s elements, her sets reflect her deep vinyl collection: diverse, yet focused, and completely one-of-a-kind. Her own productions aim to challenge the expectations within the confines of traditionally masculine dance genres. With bassline-heavy grooves and a conceptual emphasis on storytelling with samples taken from long-forgotten erotic thrillers and seedy sci-fi films, Andi adds a wry yet delicate touch to machine music. As the boss of SYNTHICIDE—the internationally known party, label and event series—Andi has cultivated the dark underground scene for over a decade in Brooklyn. SYNTHICIDE started at the notorious club in Bushwick, Bossa Nova Civic Club, where the party still holds a monthly residency. Additionally, Andi is a resident at The Lot Radio and NYC’s Gabriela.

    “Arvin T’s sound is a vast, rhythmic vocabulary that navigates the spectrum of emotions.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Arvin T’s sound is a vast, rhythmic vocabulary that navigates the spectrum of emotions. He is a resident at Brooklyn club Gabriela and a frequent collaborator with the renown dark dance label/party Synthicide. Arvin can also be found in rotation in New York City's vibrant club scene including regular appearances at Basement, Good Room, and Paragon; with a formidable international presence to match. His production navigates high-energy and bouncy progressive, while grounding those movements in the textures of wave, 90s house, and trance-oriented atmospheres. This versatile output has garnered support across the global circuit, anchored by releases on the Dutch imprint Return To Forever, alongside New York’s own E-Missions Recordings and Magic City.
