    the whole biography
    In the day time you can catch them hosting their monthly show at Lot Radio titled What is an Ocean Between Us?. Inspired by the thinking of Claudia Jones, Suzanne Cesaire, and Edouard Glissant the series aims to celebrate the innate the condition of being Carribean, as being Carribean is to practice errantry — it is to search for one another across oceans, time, and in this case through sound. They've had the pleasure of hosting this series at both E-Flux and Montez Press as well. At night, DUNESKA explores a multitude of sounds as hard hitting as the city they're from including Dembow, Juke, Techno, and more. Their goal is simple — that you walk out the club feeling sexier than when you stepped in.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    FRIED PLATANO dishes out a fusion of Latin musical flavors mixed with hard hitting, bass heavy electronic beats. Being of Caribbean descent, he amplifies melodies and vocals from his culture with the current sounds of his NYC nightlife experience. His Dominican upbringing makes him serve up fast rhythms of Dembow gone wild and transports you to a hot steamy tropical dance floor.
