    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Ryan Maxwell brings a refreshing energy to the underground house scene. His passion for music shows in every aspect of his sets—through his deep, carefully dug selections and rare finds that span decades, geographies, and moods. He doesn’t overwork the decks or force the moment—instead, he lets the music breathe, trusting the groove and energy of the room to take shape naturally. That subtle confidence creates space for people to lose themselves, to find presence, and to feel something real. Rooted in New York and New Jersey, Ryan moves fluidly through the underground soundscape with range and intention. His style isn’t bound by trends—he’s focused on mood, movement, and storytelling. Every set is a dynamic, evolving experience designed to meet the moment and elevate the crowd without overpowering it. Ryan also curates Affect—a concept that began as his residency party for the Beneath and has since grown into its own series of events across NYC. Built on intimacy and connection, Affect is about more than music—it’s about presence. No phones. No ego. Just pure energy and community on the dance floor. For Ryan, it’s never just about playing tracks—it’s about telling a story, building a journey, and letting the music do the talking.

    “Nico is a young and fresh female artist.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Nico is a young and fresh female artist. Her parents told her, that her first spoken words were: Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff. Influenced by the work of her father as a music composer and conductor, she gets early in touch with classical music like Richard Wagner, Gustav Holst, Philip Glass and many russian composers. With the age of fourteen she started listening to electronic music; from this time Nico's musical interest moved from deep techno, over minimal music to modern club sounds. The spirit of the Doors and especially the life of Jim Morrison affected her personality in a strong way too. Nico is an ambivalent creature; on the one hand she lives on the dark side of the moon and gambles with deep, dark and mysterious emotions...but on the other hand she adores the purity of soul and nature. So it is needless to say that Nico points out an expression of herself through her productions and now its time to show her diversity...
    Their RA profile lists Souvenir Music, Slash, LateNightTales and Avioground Records.
