Influenced by his Cuban-American upbringing and early love of radio, he breeds chaos and catharsis in every set. He is the founder of FIST (Fun is Still Transgressive), a queer party that pays tribute to radical fun, while engaging the visibility of communities of otherness through techno in NYC.

their own biography
the whole biography
Wyatt Stevens is at the forefront of a young Brooklyn scene that's taking the dance music world by storm. Alongside friends and collaborators such as AceMo, Kush Jones, and DJ Swisha, he's created a genre-agnostic movement that celebrates all facets of Black electronic music, from old-school Detroit techno to the early days of jungle, drum & bass and more modern strains of American dance music. His HAUS Of ALTR label has become a hub for this community, releasing his own material as well as his critically acclaimed AceMoMA project with AceMo, and three massive compilations that define this new generation of producers. MoMA Ready makes dance music intuitively and without orthodoxy, where techno can suddenly morph into drum & bass and back again.Techno on 44, House on 37, Jungle on 16 and Deep House on 14. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on HAUS of ALTR (2) and Paraíso (1). labels on their catalogued releasesRecently at Bossa Nova Civic Club, Paragon, Nowadays · often with Kush Jones, Regal86, Dazegxd, none of them here that night
“Masha Mar is a Serbian-born, Los Angeles-based DJ and producer whose musical vision spans Chicago and New York house, cosmic disco, and left-field rarities.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Masha Mar is a Serbian-born, Los Angeles-based DJ and producer whose musical vision spans Chicago and New York house, cosmic disco, and left-field rarities. Equally at home on festival stages and in the sweat of an intimate club, she moves between worlds effortlessly. Each set feels like its own journey, never the same trip twice. Her radio presence reflects the same range: a long-running residency on NTS Radio with Beyond the Clouds explores the softer, more celestial end of her record collection, while her residency on dublab traces the full arc of dance music's past and present. Both are windows into the restless curiosity that drives everything she does. As a producer, Masha works with a small arsenal of classic machines — the Roland 808 and Juno-60 are constants — and has built a discography across Nervous Records, SOS, Night Prism, and beyond. Her debut EP Virgil's Dream moved fluidly between Italo, house, and dub; her latest, Cherry Cherry, marks a bolder step into floor-focused territory, her sound still evolving and sharpening. Community-building has been just as central to her practice as the music itself. In 2014, she co-founded Dig Deeper LA with Alison Swing — a foundational event series in the Los Angeles underground that brought artists like DJ Sprinkles, K-Hand, Daniele Baldelli, Lena Willikens, and Axel Boman to the city. More recently, she and Heidi Lawden launched Take It Outside, a grassroots femme and queer-friendly series spotlighting international & LA based queer, and female DJs.Their RA profile lists Nervous Records, SOS Music and Night Prism.Recently at Knockdown Center, Le Bain, Good Room · often with Luigi Di Venere, Heidi Lawden, Dornika, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Ma Sha is a New York-based producer and DJ who has been active in the scene since 2017 when she co-founded event series - now a NYC staple - Kindergarten. Since then, she established a radio show which alongside the local Kindergarten crew, holds a monthly residency on The Lot Radio, as well as a record label that has won “Best Breakthrough Label” at the 2022 DJ Mag North America Awards. Focusing on cosmic club workouts with wigged-out rhythmic structures, the label “has become an essential outpost for hard-to-define, easy-to-dance-to club music in just two short years” [DJ Mag]; presenting “twisty, rowdy and unpredictable club music rooted in techno from both sides of the Atlantic” [Resident Advisor]. Apart from running Kindergarten Records, Ma Sha is currently focusing on her solo productions to present her take on experimental high-voltage dance music with a debut release coming out soon. However, Ma Sha is not a novice within the realm of production; as she has been active as half of the band Sha Ru who have been on the radar since their debut EP on Sorry Records in 2019, followed by releases on Infinite Machine, Pressure Dome, Progressive Future, Shubzin, Inveterate and of course, Kindergarten Records. Besides running the label, producing and performing domestically and internationally, Ma Sha is also a co-founder of Hone.Social, a free DJing workshop initiative providing a place to learn and practice within a casual and supportive environment.Their RA profile lists Rhythm Section International, Nervous Horizon, Steel City Dance Discs and Kindergarten Records.Recently at Jupiter Disco, Knockdown Center, Paragon · often with Sobolik, Verraco, Ayesha, none of them here that night
