the whole biography
Producer / DJ / Label Owner Lenny Dee is one of NYC’s earliest techno and house pioneers. He produced classic UK chart-hitting techno with Frankie Bones (as Looney Tunes), Victor Simonelli (for Nu Groove and Def Mix) and Tommy Musto – including their ‘Fallout’ track – now heard on the video game ‘Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas’. Early on, Lenny worked at Skyline Studios (at the time home of Nile Rodgers), and at Arthur Baker’s Shakedown Studio’s on productions for New order, Brooklyn Funk Essentials, and Al Jarreau among others. He then attacked Europe with the then new sound of Techno and in 1991 launched Industrial Strength Records – the first electronic ‘Hardcore’ label in the world that’s included music from Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Manu Le Malin, Angerfist, Corrosion of Conformity, Daft Punk, Neophyte, Unexist, DOA, The Sickest Squad, Nasenbluten and many more. Lenny has also written and produced hundreds of tracks on labels such as 4th floor, Warner Bros, Strictly Rhythm, R&S, Music Man, Atlantic Records, Arista, XL Recordings, Gigilo, Rotterdam Records, ID &T and Stay Up Forever. As well as remixes for Atlantic Records, Sven Vath and Robert Owens, Marshall Jefferson w/ Gareth Whitehead among others. He has had chart topping hits in Holland and Italy – including projects with Italy’s superstar DJ Moella from RadioDeeJay FM. Lenny’s first residency was at the local roller disco Roll-A-Palace in Brooklyn NY at the age of 17 and he has DJed all over the world at most of the biggest parties including EDC (Vegas), Tomorrowland, MayDay, Love Parade, Woodstock, Thunderdome, the Jane's Addiction Reunion tour & the list goes on. Lenny’s musical accomplishments range wide, having engineered 3 remixes on the Wu Tang Clan album Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 2 , has remixed Ali King’s hit feat. Def Jam’s Fabolous and recently mixed the soundtrack for a Runway Show at New York’s Fashion Week. It’s no wonder Lenny was the 1st Hardcore DJ to appear on the ‘DJ Mag - Top 100’ and was previously named Number 1 ‘Hard DJ’ by Mixmag, was twice awarded the accolade of Best Worldwide Techno DJ by the Scottish Dance Music Awards & Frontpage Magazine and even has a track listed on the Top 40 Deep House Tracks of all Time (Spin Magazine).Their RA profile lists XL Recordings, Defected Records, F Communications, Warp Records and 6 more.Last at The Meadows in Dec · often with Keoki, Dank, Frankie Bones, none of them here that night
“Swan Meat (Reba Fay) is a record producer and DJ from Washington DC based in Cologne, Germany.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Swan Meat (Reba Fay) is a record producer and DJ from Washington DC based in Cologne, Germany. Since breaking onto the scene with her 2019 EP, FLESHWORLD (Infinite Machine), which Resident Advisor called “a dizzying sequence of references and samples programmed to shock and awe,” she has carved out her own niche in the underground, perfecting a sound in which sweeping string arrangements, 8-bit synth melodies, and gigantic kicks meet in a weird and eerie whorl. Her sound is exemplified in singles such as “SLUDGE,” “PSYCHOPATH,” and “BEHAVE,” among others, but especially on her latest EP, BLOOD SUPERNOVA (Swanni), where her sound is pushed to its maximalist limit. A former long-term Rinse FM resident and DJ on Cologne’s dublab outlet, as well as one-half of the techno duo House of Suns with DJH, Swan Meat has proven herself versatile and ever-evolving, touring the world with her extreme, uncompromising live sets. She also composes for video games, with recent projects including music for the Divine Disco in the Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt battle royale.Their RA profile lists Infinite Machine, Bala Club and Explity Music.Last at Paragon in Sep · often with WTCHCRFT, dj listen to ur heart, DOLLNXTDOOR, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
BLK SLK is a Berlin-based electronic artist and DJ whose work operates at the intersection of hardcore, gabber and experimental dance music. Drawing from breaks, acid, industrial electronics, distorted low end and nostalgic influences, the project combines high impact rhythms with an unpredictable approach to production and performance. Rather than adhering to a single genre or tempo, BLK SLK moves between different forms of dance music, using contrast as a central compositional tool. Pounding kicks, broken rhythms, abrasive textures, acid patterns and atmospheric passages are brought together to create music that balances physical intensity with melodic and emotional depth. This approach also extends into the live setting. BLK SLK's DJ sets and performances are built around shifts in rhythm, density, and energy. The result is a dynamic club experience shaped by tension, release, and movement. Alongside live performances, BLK SLK has developed a growing catalogue of original productions, collaborations, and remixes. The project also incorporates a visual and auditory language informed by personal memory, contemporary culture and BLK SLK's personal experiences as a musician, a listener. BLK SLK recontextualizes elements of his experiences through a contemporary lens of music, combining familiar references with heavier, more experimental and less predictable forms of electronic music.often with Bodya, Diamanista, Djoanka, none of them here that night
