    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Matias Jofré is a multidisciplinary artist whose work exists at the intersection of sound, image, memory, and place. Born in Argentina and based in New York City, he has spent more than a decade cultivating spaces where electronic music, visual culture, and human connection converge. As a DJ and producer, Jofré is known for immersive sets that weave together Minimal Techno, Deep Techno, Ambient, and Deep House into slow-building narratives rich with tension, texture, and emotion. Rather than chasing trends, his approach focuses on atmosphere, creating journeys that feel equally suited to dance floors, late-night listening, and moments of introspection. He is the founder of Rite of Wednesdays and co-founder of Momentum, influential underground projects that have brought together artists, musicians, and audiences through a shared commitment to discovery and community. His productions combine field recordings, analog experimentation, and cinematic sound design, reflecting a lifelong fascination with the relationship between memory and sound. Outside of music, Jofré works as a photographer, visual artist, and researcher. His broader artistic practice explores archives, migration, collective memory, and the ways personal histories become cultural narratives. Through image, sound, and documentation, he seeks to uncover the stories hidden beneath the surface of everyday life. His work is driven by a simple idea: that art can function as both a record of experience and a catalyst for connection.

  • Úrsula

    “Úrsula is a DJ born and raised in New York City, where her sound has been shaped as much by the city’s nightlife as by her Latin roots.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Úrsula is a DJ born and raised in New York City, where her sound has been shaped as much by the city’s nightlife as by her Latin roots. Moving fluidly between deep house, soul, R&B, and Latin rhythms, she brings a warm, percussive, and emotionally attuned approach to the dancefloor—one that prioritizes feeling as much as movement. Raised within a city where genres constantly overlap, Úrsula developed an instinct for blending sounds without rigid boundaries. Her sets often begin in a place of intimacy drawing from soulful vocals, slow-burning grooves, and rhythmic textures—before building into layered, percussive energy that feels both grounded and expansive. Whether weaving in Latin influences or leaning into deep house’s hypnotic pulse, her selections reflect a deep sensitivity to timing, space, and crowd. A regular presence within New York’s underground circuit, she has played at Public Records, The Lot Radio, Mood Ring, and more where she’s known for crafting sets that feel intentional, fluid, and deeply connected to the room. Across these spaces, she continues to refine a sound that is both personal and adaptable equally suited for late-night dancefloors and open-air sessions. At the core of Úrsula’s practice is a commitment to music as a shared experience one rooted in culture, rhythm, and emotional resonance. Her presence behind the decks is subtle but assured, allowing the music to speak while guiding listeners through a journey that feels immersive, dynamic, and distinctly her own.
