their own biography
the whole biography
Shakolin is a long-time resident DJ of Closer in Kyiv. Since his relocation to Berlin, he has opened a new chapter in his sonic journey with Delirious, a vinyl-only record label and party series at Panorama Bar, which he co-curates with his artistic and life partner, Karine. After decades of relentless digging and many sleepless nights spent on Discogs, running one of the finest underground record stores, showing an interesting approach to his productions, and bringing a fresh curatorial vision to Delirious, he has become one of the most prominent artists of the Ukrainian scene, widely recognizable worldwide. Music always takes a central place in Andrii’s life and has opened doors to some of the most discerning DJ booths in the world, including Houghton Festival in the UK, Funk in Mexico, Techworld parties in Melbourne, Ring in Seoul, and Dimensions Festival in Croatia, to name just a few. His records are always a journey, mystical and freakish, and we wonder how far he will take us…Their RA profile lists Delirious_Records.often with Karine, XDB, J.

the whole biography
Jorge is a multi-talented musician, producer, and DJ based in Lisbon, Portugal. His musical journey began in childhood, shaped by years of training that eventually led him to Berklee College of Music, where he initially auditioned for guitar. He went on to study Electronic Production and Design, submitting Doodle 001’s “The First One” as his thesis project. After establishing himself in Brooklyn as a sought-after mix engineer, producer, and event curator—sharing lineups with artists like Adam Collins and Titonton Duvante—Jorge recently relocated to Lisbon, where he continues to expand his artistic vision with a strong focus on music production. His latest release, “Revelation EP,” on the Hypnotic Mindscapes label and upcoming release, "Anticipation Station EP," on Sol Asylum's label marks a new chapter, as he begins working more closely with European-based labels, artists, and distribution networks. When he’s not playing guitar, Jorge channels his deep musical knowledge into both his productions and DJ sets, delivering versatile performances that span genres with technical precision and fluidity.Their RA profile lists Sol Asylum, Hypnotic Mindscapes and Acacia Baila.often with Miss Jools, Rochelle, manpaintinghouse, none of them here that night

the whole biography
DJing since 2011, New York native John Raffaele has been bringing life to dancefloors in the US and abroad on countless occasions. His tireless work and commitment to nightlife and music culture with his projects Subsurface (party) & Impressions Philly (record store) could be described as an unquenchable thirst for more. After relocating to Philadelphia in 2016, John wasted no time working dancefloors across the city for underground local crews. After 2 years in the Philadelphia circuit, John teamed up with his partner and one of his closest friends, Keen in December 2017 to launch the now accredited warehouse party series- Subsurface, to channel their vision into their own experience to share with others in Philadelphia. Since then they have wasted no time reshaping the mold of underground parties in Philadelphia hosting artists such as Anthony Parasole, Omar S, John Dimas, Steve O’Sullivan, and more recently Hamish & Toby, Brawther, Analog Soul, Christian AB and more with no signs of slowing down. In August of 2020, during the pandemic John had been digging for records at such a frequent rate, and being out of gigs with little income- he spawned Impressions Philadelphia, an online/ pop-up record store, filling a void for dance music record shopping in Philly. Since then, the shop has made a mark on local DJ’s and collectors in the city. As a producer, John has been working behind the scenes tirelessly at developing his sound. After many months/years at work, John will be part of the next forthcoming release on Tbilisi based label- Small Moves alongside collaborators Sweater and Bobby Banks under their alias “Post Play”. Expect that to drop fall 2021.often with Daniel Dutts, Very J, Post Play, none of them here that night
