    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Oscar Mulero's DJ career has been as prolific and long lasting as the evolution of dance music. As a key figure in its development, Oscar has always absorbed new trends and kept his finger on the pulse of electronic dance music, from the end of the 80’s right up to the present day. It is impossible to understand his genius without taking into account the tireless work he has carried out behind the decks for over two decades. Production-wise he's been releasing records since the late 90’s, with countless 12" vinyls and several studio albums, as well as many remixes for the best players in the scene. He runs Warm Up, his very own imprint, since 2000 as well as the label PoleGroup Records since 2004, both of which have reached the 50 releases mark. On 2013 he started a series of live A/V performances under several project names like Light and Dark, Biolive and Monochrome AV. In 2019 he will celebrate his thirty-year career with a very special secret lineup party in Madrid that will be much talked about because of its concept and the quality of the guests. 2019 also meant the Selection Natural project peak time with releases in Pole Group and performances all over the club universe. The uncertain days of 2020 and 2021 meant a sudden stop of all touring action but Oscar kept busy with his studio work. A bunch of releases saw the light during that period and his audiovisual project Monochrome had some performances under the security environment required those days. Now near the end of 2021 most of the club activity has returned and Oscar has again a full schedule gigwise. We also celebrate his 20 years in production with releases on Token records, Semantica, and his very own Warm Up Recordings with a new limited vinyl series called WUBC mostly available on Bandcamp.
    Their RA profile lists Tsunami, Tresor, Token, MindTrip and 6 more.

    “Beatrice crafts sound into journeys that transcend the ordinary, where rhythm, texture, and emotion intertwine to create immersive experiences.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Beatrice crafts sound into journeys that transcend the ordinary, where rhythm, texture, and emotion intertwine to create immersive experiences. Her sets flow between intensity and introspection, guiding listeners through sonic landscapes that are at once intimate and expansive. Each moment is shaped by intuition, honesty, and a deep understanding of how music moves the body, mind, and heart. A regular performer at Berghain, a local resident at Tresor Berlin, and formerly resident at Basement NYC, Beatrice has developed a voice that resonates across the global electronic music scene. Her approach is uncompromising, rooted in authenticity, exploration, and the transformative power of sound. Within her sets, layers of tension and release, subtle textures and sweeping energy create narratives that linger long after the music fades. Her artistry balances technical precision with emotional depth. Beatrice’s performances are not simply presentationshey are spaces for connection, reflection, and shared experience, where listeners are invited to lose themselves and discover unexpected emotions. Beyond the decks, she is a storyteller, a curator of feeling, and a visionary. Through her work, she reminds audiences of why they fell in love with music, revealing the hidden layers of sound and sensation that transform each moment into something unforgettable.

    “Lydo is a Filipino-born Vietnamese-American sound artist.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Lydo is a Filipino-born Vietnamese-American sound artist. As a resident DJ of BASEMENT NY, their distinctive sets explode the parameters of techno, deftly cutting across genres while retaining a highly personal emotional resonance. Whenever Lydo plays, it’s best to leave your expectations at the door and simply prepare for an unexpected array of sonic thrills, ranging from visceral and grooving to mind-bendingly experimental. A trans artist themselves, Lydo launched X-TRA.SERVICES to serve and create space for queer, trans, and nonbinary people of color. This ethos of care and insurgent collectivity runs through their broader practice. They have performed at Berlin Atonal, Draaimolen Festival, Bourse de Commerce, and Bassiani, as well as subterranean parties and festivals across North America, Europe, and Asia. Beyond the club, Lydo works with sound through installation, composition, and curation. Their abstract, experimental work spans museum and institutional contexts, including MoMA PS1, SculptureCenter, and Kunsthalle Basel, among others. In 2025, they launched care., an itinerant series for live and experimental sound that continues to explore new sonic forms in unexpected contexts.
