the whole biography
Juana has enticed crowds all over the world at venues such as Berghain, LuxFrágil, Fabric, Smartbar, Basement, Nowadays, and countless festivals and underground warehouse gigs. She originally hails from the city of Chicago where she cultivated her love for the underground at clubs like Smartbar and The Generator and parties such as Soul in the Hole and Boom Boom Room. She began DJing in roughly 2001 and moved to DC in 2003 where she began hosting weekly live internet radio shows on HandzOnRadio (Baltimore) and Cyberjamz (Tampa) and playing parties in the DC scene, upping her skills alongside her mentor and legendary DJ Sam “the Man” Burns, and at clubs including Red and the DC Sanctuary. Juana started obsessively collecting disco and early house records in the late 90s and eventually developed an undying penchant for straight-ahead techno and deeper, darker shades of first and second-wave Chicago dance music. In the 2010s, Juana made her mark in DC as one of only a handful of techno DJs and a resident of the legendary rave, Sequence, and started regularly touring North and South America and EU. In the 2020s, Juana picked up major momentum, becoming a resident of the renowned rave Unter and making frequent appearances at Basement, Nowadays, and Paragon. She has been a founding member of the DC QT BIPOC collective NOXEEMA JACKSON since 2021, and in 2026, joined the MERGE collective. As a producer, her most recent EP “We Are Everything We Think We're Not” was released in March 2024, and she has also appeared recently on releases from the No Mercy, World Building, and Perimeter Junk labels. She is currently working on more releases, probably until she croaks.Their RA profile lists Bound, Vanity Press Records, ROAMANCE, Trax Only and 1 more.Recently at Nowadays, BASEMENT, Paragon · often with Ne/Re/A, Auspex, Concrete Husband, none of them here that night

Time has passed since Kristian Bahoudian, known artistically as Kris Baha - the Australian born, multi-disciplinary queer artist of Egyptian-Armenian and Italian descent - swapped the parched red earth and searing midday sun of the Australian landscape for the brutalist buildings, communist-era apartment blocks, and slate-grey skies of Berlin. Now firmly embedded in his adopted city, Baha has become known for a mutant trademark production style inspired by sunbaked hallucinatory visions of the past-future, clandestine, concrete-clad industrial hum of the metropolis after dark. Kris is a fixture in Berlin’s industrial/ EBM, electronic punk/ techno club scene, playing at notable parties and venues such as Cocktail D’Amore, Tresor, Panorama Bar and RSO. His DJ sets dive deep into a realm of otherworldly machine music driven by emotion, mood, and energy. Baha also runs his own event series called ‘Wired’, which focuses on the immersive experience of live performances and DJ sets in the dark electronic sphere. The same ethos is applied to his performance-based live shows, initially inspired by his love for industrial and electronic punk artists like DAF, Front 242, Severed Heads, Hard Corps, Nine Inch Nails, The Prodigy, New Order, Skinny Puppy, and Depeche Mode—artists with some of whom Kris has had the privilege of opening and sharing festival bills with. Kris’s touring career is as extensive as his discography with releases & appearances on labels like Pinkman, She Lost Kontrol, Cocktail D’Amore, BoysNoize, Zone, Fleisch, X-IMG, Artoffact, BMG UK. His performances and music have also aired on BBC6 - UK, KEXP - USA, NTS, Rinse FM, Boiler Room, Arte.TV & documentary coming in September 2024 titled ‘Electronic Body Movie’, with his influence extending beyond the streaming ether, resonating through clubs and festivals worldwide. Baha has toured globally, supporting acts on tour like Boys Noize, Boy Harsher, and Drab Majesty, and has headlined numerous dance and live music events across continents. Kris just wrapped up a live European tour in June 2024 and will continue touring South America, Asia, and the USA for the remainder of the year, headlining notable festivals in the US such as Substance Festival, Sanctum, and Freak Out Festival. When not channeling the musical spirits to inspire dancers, Baha can be found lurking in the shadows of his studio space as a prolific producer and remixer. There, he performs remix duties for celebrated artists and bands such as Boy Harsher, Boys Noize, Qual (Lebanon Hanover), Ultra Sunn, Kontravoid, Hercules & Love Affair, Red Axes, and many more. There has also been a notable collaboration with fellow Aussie Dreems as 'Die Orangen', as well as various projects launched over the years with his latest in 2023 being 'Ghosts In The Machine', a future sci-fi concept moniker based around a story written by Kris that delves into the perils of artificial intelligence and humanity. The self-titled album was released on Zanias’ imprint Fleisch Records, home to releases from Schwefelgelb, Kontravoid, Fractions, Linea Aspera, and many other seminal artists. Yet, it’s his own skewed, mutant productions for which Baha is undoubtedly best known for, seamlessly blending techno, electro, breaks, trance-induced psychedelia, and inhabiting their own sound space between the late 90's and early 2000's. In 2024, Kris returned to the dance floors with ‘Cyber Body Music v1’ released on Kindcrime, poised as a new music genre he created using the EP title that takes futuristic parts of techno, EBM, electro, drum & bass, trance and smashes them together in a hadron collider, racing from speeds of 125-150 bpm and discovering a new sonic territory for Kris. Kris backed up this release in June 2024 with a 4-track summer-ready dance floor smasher called ‘Breathe’ that was released on his label, Power Station. Later that year Kris was featured in a documentary about the EBM genre called 'Electronic Body Movie' and is the only known movie about it and it's revival which he participated in in 2015-2023. In 2025 Kris continued the cyber theme in a different lens - a nod to the Hackers movie in 1994 , Kris released Livewire which signals his musical shift from darker sounds to brighter, hybrid mutant dance songs and productions. In a way, Kris’s discography has been a testament to his ability to redefine the boundaries of his own craft that are not just heard but felt. Perhaps this is why Kris’s music has been championed by some of the world's most in-demand artists like Boys Noize with regular play on the latest Nine Inch Nails tour across arena's. Kris's unique ability to blend the lines of artistry, crossing over to different musical factions either on the dancefloor or in live music to create something new with each release is why he has built a loyal fanbase of followers over the last 13 years from Australia, to Berlin, and beyond.Their RA profile lists Boysnoize Records, Cocktail D'Amore, Emotional Response, Pinkman and 6 more.often with Berlin Bunny, Zanias, Eyesdice, none of them here that night
“Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets.”

Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets. The NYC-based DJ, producer, and SYNTHICIDE label/party boss constructs a dynamic and intoxicating flow that’s always palpable between the walls of the foggy, neon-lit dancefloor. Parts sleaze and sultry, Andi’s aesthetic is body music based, thriving on the delivery of the groove and the bombastic highs of a track’s apex. As a devotee of distinct sounds such as EBM, new beat, Italo, freestyle and housey 90s elements, her sets reflect her deep vinyl collection: diverse, yet focused, and completely one-of-a-kind. Her own productions aim to challenge the expectations within the confines of traditionally masculine dance genres. With bassline-heavy grooves and a conceptual emphasis on storytelling with samples taken from long-forgotten erotic thrillers and seedy sci-fi films, Andi adds a wry yet delicate touch to machine music. As the boss of SYNTHICIDE—the internationally known party, label and event series—Andi has cultivated the dark underground scene for over a decade in Brooklyn. SYNTHICIDE started at the notorious club in Bushwick, Bossa Nova Civic Club, where the party still holds a monthly residency. Additionally, Andi is a resident at The Lot Radio and NYC’s Gabriela.EBM on 13, Techno on 9, Industrial on 7 and New Beat on 5. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Eskimo Recordings (2), Dischi Autunno (1) and Surface Reality Records (1); their RA profile also lists Mannequin, aufnahme + wiedergabe, Mecanica, Synthicide and 1 more. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Gabriela, Bossa Nova Civic Club, TV EYE · often with Eli Escobar, Arvin T, Facets, none of them here that night
