In the Black, Queer, and underground NYC nightlife circuit, PURR is a regular guest DJ at local haunts in Brooklyn and frequently headlines sold-out nights at top-tier venues such as SOB’s, Elsewhere, Xanadu, House of Yes & more.

NYC mainstay cry$cross moves through the underground with a sound that’s emotionally charged, rhythmically sharp, and impossible to pin down. Pulling from house, techno, garage, club edits, and diasporic percussion, her sets balance intensity with fluidity, built for locked-in dancers and late-night moments alike. A longtime presence in New York nightlife, CRY$CROSS brings community and experimentation to the center of everything she does, channeling the energy of the city into every blend. Expect deep cuts, high pressure grooves, and a dancefloor that stays moving start to finish.Recently at Nowadays, Good Room, Jupiter Disco · often with chuki, Kweku Saunderson, Ubabu, none of them here that night

Massachusetts born and Brooklyn based artist, producer and audio engineer Sophie Sawaya MacArthur, better known as Swaya, has spent a lifetime exploring the possibilities of storytelling and meaning making through sound. Raised by Brazilian and American parents, she spent her childhood studying violin before becoming disillusioned by the lack of creativity classical studies offered. She found her musical home on the internet becoming obsessed with hardcore punk, hip hop and experimental electronic music. A graduate of Communications Studies at Concordia University, she spent 5 years in Montreal where she was an active member of the music scene, performing her music at MUTEK, Pop Montreal, Slut Island, Never Apart, Datcha and more. Since she began posting her music online in 2016, Swaya has released 5 EPs and countless tracks, edits and mixes, consistently pushing and reinventing herself with each release. Beyond her personal artistic work Swaya is also an established producer and audio engineer, currently working with Brooklyn producer Tony Seltzer at his studio Seltzer Sounds. She has worked with the likes of Zelooperz, Babyxsosa, Key!, Hawa, Marti, Mercury, Michael Christmas, Magella and more.Their RA profile lists Purple Tape Pedigree, Tobago Tracks, s.M.i.L.e. and Ultra Rare.Recently at Good Room, Mood Ring · often with Battygyal, Lil Zé, Jetty, none of them here that night
