the whole biography
Sterling Juan Diaz has an instinctive feel for groove. Born in New York City & raised between there & the Dominican Republic, he was captivated by the percussive rhythms of hip-hop & latin music from a young age, fostering a diverse musical passion. Once he taught himself to DJ, his eclectic taste & skill quickly gained attention in New York City's queer nightlife, becoming a staple at parties like Nowadays Nonstop, Papi Juice, & BASEMENT’s resident party FIST. Diaz's insatiable appetite for music, discerning taste, & impressive mixing skills have solidified his reputation for delivering electrifying, sets consistently. His innovative, captivating style has earned him spots at festivals such as Honcho Campout, DWELLER, & Wire Festival, & has taken him to parties across the nation, including Atlanta’s Back Room & Washington D.C.’s Flower Factory. Internationally, Diaz has performed at The MECA Art Fair in the Dominican Republic, as well as at Buttons & Sysiphos in Berlin, Germany. In July 2023, Diaz was chosen as an opening DJ for Beyoncé’s New York City show during her record-breaking Renaissance World Tour, joining a distinguished roster of DJs celebrating the album’s tribute to Black queer & trans history. From his curatorial work as a resident DJ of Playground Radio & their annual Block Party to his recurring club night SIMPULSO at Bossa Nova Civic Club, Diaz has established himself as an unmissable voice in Brooklyn's new generation of young selectors. His sets range from chest-rumbling bass wubs to euphoric house keys, showcasing the rich heritage of the underground while exploring the depths of sound through the rhythmic threads of his Dominican roots. Sterling Juan Diaz has not only crafted a unique musical identity but also stands as a beacon of collaboration & community building.Recently at public records, Artsdistrict Brooklyn, Paragon · often with Makadsi, ALEXIS DE LA ROSA, Sekucci, none of them here that night

the whole biography
DJ, producer, and antidisciplinary artist MORENXXX—also known as Jesús Hilario Reyes—is a true enigmatic force exalted from Chicago’s underground. MORENXXX's hypnotic yet blisteringly-fast sound ranges with rapturous percussion and ethereal intensity, weaving infectious grooves and defiant rhythms far above the genre battlegrounds, culminating in something otherworldly and entirely their own. Tectonic, boundless, undeniable, MORENXXX enmeshes the contemporary and the timeless with cyclonic fluidity. ;) morenxxx.me@gmail.com Asia: info@wildblur.studioBass Music on 1, Hard House on 1, Progressive Breaks on 1 and Techno on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesTheir RA profile lists Wet Trax.Recently at Bossa Nova Civic Club, Good Room, Paragon · often with LOKA, Shyboi, SIRENS, none of them here that night
