their own biography
the whole biography
Brooklyn-based DJ Arianna Danae brings an unmistakable New York energy to the dance floor, shaped by her Armenian heritage and a lifelong curiosity for music. Guided by instinct rather than convention, she approaches every set with an ear for the unexpected, weaving together timeless records, forgotten gems, and fresh discoveries to create moments that feel both familiar and entirely new. Since emerging from Brooklyn’s underground scene in 2018, Arianna has built a reputation as a thoughtful selector and respected voice within the community. She found her first home at Jupiter Disco with her monthly Rebelle party, which laid the groundwork for her career in artist programming and event curation. From there, she became a resident at Flash in Washington, D.C., later expanding into booking and programming before joining the programming team at Elsewhere in Brooklyn. She is also a longtime resident of Laylit, the internationally celebrated party championing music and culture from North Africa, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia. Whether introducing audiences to an unexpected record or giving new life to a familiar classic, Arianna’s sets are driven by curiosity, connection, and a belief that the best dance floors are built through trust, taste, and musical discovery.Recently at Dead Letter No. 9, Elsewhere · often with Sean Sato, Saphe, 444, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Using a combination of rich recorded instrumentation and live manipulation, Omar Ahmad aims to invoke a proto-genre, natural atmosphere that envelopes his audience in a dark, ritualistic sense of community. He is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist whose desire to derive the essential elements of sound has grown towards found-sound immersions, globally-influenced musical storytelling, and lush atmospheric compositions with age. As a third culture musician, he often finds himself looking to voice his own state of being caught in between movements and never fully belonging to a singular sound or ideology. In 2023 he released his debut album, Inheritance, via AKP Recordings with critical acclaim including BandCamp's Best Ambient and DJ Mag's "Artist You Need to Hear" recognition. In addition to producing his own work, Ahmad is a contributing DJ at Laylit, the largest and fastest-growing contemporary Middle Eastern and North African music community in New York, and alongside Miss Alicia (Alicia Coleman), Ahmad co-founded Ūmboma, a recurring global dance series emphasizing African, Arab and Latin American contemporary rhythms. A combination of Arabic, Swahili and Spanish words, Ūmboma signifies a Congregation of Freedom & Dance.Their RA profile lists Mesma Records, Microtones and AKP Recordings.Last at Eavesdrop in Dec 2023 · often with DJ Haram, Arroyo, Abby Echiverri, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Nadim Maghzal is a co-founder of Laylit and member of Lebanese-Canadian duo Wake Island. As a producer, musician and DJ, he is passionate about rhythm, range and dynamics across a wide variety of genres and draws from this passion to create energetic and electrifying dance sets. Inspired by his upbringing in Beirut and his life in Montreal & NYC, Nadim’s music sets out to explore new ways of blending together very divergent musical vocabularies and ideas, resulting in a unique hybrid sound that reinvents the place of Arabic music on the modern dancefloor.Last at Elsewhere in Sep 2023 · often with Ramzi El Edlibi, ARMANA KHAN, LILLA, none of them here that night
