    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Hailing from New York, he was seduced by techno when Jeff Mills held residency (as well as his own first) at Limelight in the early 90s. Producing from the mid-90s onward, he released his first 12"s on Damon Wild's Synewave and his own Infrastructure imprint. A chance meeting in 1996 brought him together with Regis (Karl O'Connor). The two worked as Portion Reform, releasing uncompromising music on Downwards, making him the only non-Birmingham producer to appear on the label. He later moved to Berlin in 2007, still working with Regis, and now Silent Servant (Juan Mendez), putting his focus on Sandwell District. Since, the label come collective, skyrocketed into cult status - decentralizing the artist ego, blurring the lines between the artist, label and dj; re-arranging the DNA of modern dance music.
    Their RA profile lists Ostgut Ton, Tresor, Droid Recordings, Synewave and 6 more.

    the whole biography
    RYKER is a DJ and event producer deeply embedded in New York's underground queer nightlife scene. They have performed at Nowadays, Basement, and Club Space in Miami, and across parties including Fast Forward, Weeeirdos, Mizz Softee, Steamroom, La Noche, and Mala Junta.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Rooted between Brooklyn and Los Angeles, OZA is a DJ, producer, and founder of the acclaimed queer party and multimedia platform TUNNEL, cultivating a forward-facing sound and connecting emerging artists with the wider world. His sets skillfully fuse propulsive percussion and erotic techno tension with trance-laced rhythms and expansive electronic textures. Unbound by strict genre lines, OZA channels an instinctive, kinetic sensibility that shapes both his artistry and the evolving sonic identity of TUNNEL. His performances span institutions such as Basement NY and FOLD London, as well as appearances at notable international festivals. With co-signs from Gucci, Lady Gaga, FKA twigs, and leading voices throughout the global underground, OZA’s world remains high-impact, high-frequency, and unmistakably his own.
