“Bianca Oblivion lives and breathes Los Angeles.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Bianca Oblivion lives and breathes Los Angeles. Born and raised in the City of Angels, the globe-trotting, genre-hopping, hard-hustling artist—who was recently named by Mixmag as one of 2023’s breakthrough DJs of the year and is also part of Beatport Next’s class of of 2024—is unbound by dance music orthodoxy, opting instead for an “anything goes as long as it bangs” approach that reflects the unique cultural palette of her hometown. Growing up Mexican in LA, Bianca heard G-funk blasting out of cars and cumbia coming out of the stereo at backyard BBQs, and during her teen years, she started spending her nights soaking up electro, house and all sorts of heavy bass music, most often in the city’s vibrant underground club and warehouse rave scene. She’s still raving today, and as a DJ, she’s intent on connecting the dots between seemingly disparate sounds, as likely to drop dancehall, reggaeton, hip-hop, R&B or even a cheeky pop edit as she is to unleash a torrent of gut-rumbling grime, dubstep, hardcore or some other bass-heavy sound. Bianca is the rare selector who can tear the roof off just about anywhere, and in the past few years, she’s showcased her skills not only at world-renowned festivals like Bass Coast, Glastonbury, Fusion and Boomtown, but also at iconic clubs like London’s fabric and Barcelona’s Razzmatazz. Still, it’s Warp Mode—the LA party she throws alongside fellow bass fiends Star Eyes and AK Sports—where she’s most comfortable, and not just behind the decks. Aside from providing a consistent platform for femme/non-binary, queer and POC artists, Warp Mode has become a beacon for low-end freakers from Southern California and beyond, which is why its unique brand of neon-streaked mayhem was broadcast to the world via an unforgettable Boiler Room takeover in 2023. Away from the dancefloor, Bianca also heads up Club Aerobics, a label and monthly radio show that’s been airing on NTS since 2017. And while she has a fantastic ear for other people’s tunes, she’s also made plenty of bangers of her own, flexing her production skills on releases for labels like N.A.A.F.I, Magic City and Future Bounce. Tracks like “Sinais,” “Eski Rave,” and “Selecta” have been rinsed on both sides of the Atlantic, and her song “EZ 4 Me” even landed in EA Sports FC 24, the latest installment of the newly rebranded FIFA video game series. DJ, producer, promoter… Bianca Oblivion does it all, spreading joy and always giving bassbins a serious workout. Keeping up with her is no easy task, but anyone who’s lucky enough to catch her would be well advised to sit back and let her go to work.Their RA profile lists Man Recordings, Pineapple Records, Naafi, Femme Culture and 4 more.Recently at SILO, Paragon · often with Star Eyes, blal bloch, Viper, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
In a culture of new artists competing for digital real estate Greene anchored his career in the physical: He toured. Playing top European venues such as Fabric Live, Plastic People, Panoramabar and major festivals like Sonar, MUTEK, the Bloc Weekender and Bozar Electronic Weekender, he steadily conquered each crowd with his undeniably potent songs and infectious demeanor. With “Another Girl”, all the hype came to him. Tearing down the gate with two EPs on LuckyMe and Nightslugs, and nothing short of an anthem on the latter’s Allstar compilation, he grew as the best artists do. With quality releases and unforgettable live shows. As the initial disbelief at how young he was, his love of heart aching RnB, his mys- terious appearance, and what he uses to record begins to sink further and further back into the pages of Google, the initial hype will be followed by better and better music. New original music, limited run white labels, a jaw-dropping analog live show, and the launch of his own imprint Vase have further established his vision leading towards his debut full length.Their RA profile lists Night Slugs, LuckyMe, Vase, UNO and 1 more.Last at Elsewhere in Dec · often with EDEN BEKELE, Bunni, Devoye, none of them here that night

“Meagan Rodriguez is QRTR, a musician, DJ, and film composer flourishing within modern electronic music, recognized as a top rising indie artist.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Meagan Rodriguez is QRTR, a musician, DJ, and film composer flourishing within modern electronic music, recognized as a top rising indie artist. Building music of conceptual depth, the tonality of QRTR’s productions pull from various ethos: the entrancing and pulsating waves of house rhythms, psychedelic scopes of space and layering, and immersive worlds of sound that utilize her vast film and field recording library. QRTR can activate the biggest of stages and can also immerse the mind into a menagerie of unfolding styles cascading over one another. A singular artist of her generation, QRTR first established her voice with two monumental releases within a 24-month window: Drenched (2020) and infina ad nausea (2021), described by Pitchfork as an “euphoric trip through the mind” filled with “alternative-universe club classics in pastel blues and sludgy blacks” (Paste Magazine). Both records explored themes of submersion, repetition, and endurance. These ideas reach their most realized form on her third album, ONDAS (2025), a deeply personal work that translates those patterns into explicit vocal and lyrical explorations. ONDAS, translating to “waves” in Portuguese and Spanish, reflects on cyclical grief and relief, drawing from QRTR’s multilingual upbringing and a poem written in 2017 to her religious Portuguese mother - an invocation to keep moving forward, again and again, despite the ebb and flow of the tide. The live resume and presentation of QRTR’s music has become just as exemplary, making her presence known at prestigious festivals such as Coachella, Electric Forest, and HARD Summer, while also performing at some of the most cutting edge underground shows and festivals around the globe. Most notable are her appearances at Philly’s Making Time, as well as A2B2’s sold out Night of Fire festival at the Knockdown Center in New York, featuring QRTR alongside Arca, Eartheater, Andy Morin, Machinegirl, and Kero Kero Bonito. Millions of plays across streaming platforms worldwide and a dedicated fan base that’s expanded far outside of her East Coast roots, QRTR has become an undeniable force within modern electronic music.
