their own biography
the whole biography
Swan Meat (Reba Fay) is a record producer and DJ from Washington DC based in Cologne, Germany. Since breaking onto the scene with her 2019 EP, FLESHWORLD (Infinite Machine), which Resident Advisor called “a dizzying sequence of references and samples programmed to shock and awe,” she has carved out her own niche in the underground, perfecting a sound in which sweeping string arrangements, 8-bit synth melodies, and gigantic kicks meet in a weird and eerie whorl. Her sound is exemplified in singles such as “SLUDGE,” “PSYCHOPATH,” and “BEHAVE,” among others, but especially on her latest EP, BLOOD SUPERNOVA (Swanni), where her sound is pushed to its maximalist limit. A former long-term Rinse FM resident and DJ on Cologne’s dublab outlet, as well as one-half of the techno duo House of Suns with DJH, Swan Meat has proven herself versatile and ever-evolving, touring the world with her extreme, uncompromising live sets. She also composes for video games, with recent projects including music for the Divine Disco in the Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt battle royale.Their RA profile lists Infinite Machine, Bala Club and Explity Music.Recently at Elsewhere, Market Hotel, Paragon · often with WTCHCRFT, dj listen to ur heart, DOLLNXTDOOR, none of them here that night

“LORD ANNA is a queer, flinta*, Vietnamese-American Brooklyn based dj that thrives in a hardcore techno environment. in their hard & fast mixes they pull in influences from trance, acid, and an occasional nod to pop culture bangers. the dancefloors of Brooklyn have shaped them and the queer community has raised them in their artistry. they have played at HÖR, The Lot Radio, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Mood Ring, Brooklyn Monarch, Elsewhere, XPIZZA, cofounded Wish Records, and have released mixes through FIST, Regression Records, Bleak, and OBST Tokyo.”
