the whole biography
Someone From Berlin is a New York based selector whose mission is to create engaging and accessible sonic spaces for the queer community. With a range that spans house subgenres and touches the edges of dark disco and techno, SFB’s sets are structured around creating a momentum that builds from start to finish. They are the curator behind UltraMaroon, a brand with roots in the historically queer Fire Island Pines, which has grown into a monthly event series in New York City that creates inclusive, house music centered events across Manhattan and Brooklyn. You can most regularly catch Someone From Berlin at UltraMaroon events in NYC, but they have also guested at other spaces in LA, Europe, and the Pines.Recently at The Chocolate Factory, Blue Midtown · often with Anthony Velez, Thee Aries, IPOK, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Sainte Francis (AKA Rob Wilson Engle) is a Brooklyn-based writer, producer and old school house DJ highly active at the intersection of dance music history and club culture. Originally hailing from Pittsburgh, Sainte Francis brings the raw energy and community of the underground house scene to the main stage. His sonic style is influenced by the liberating sounds of Disco, the unmistakable soul of Classic Chicago House, and the heavy-hitting rhythms and bass lines of Old School New York & Detroit House. He curates soulful, cross-genre sets blending classic tracks with modern vocal motifs, and his respect for electronic music as a category borne from Black, Latin and LGBTQ+ culture is apparent in his eclectic DJing style, in which he aims to pay homage to the roots of dance music. Sainte Francis has made his imprint in the New York dance music scene, bringing his timeless sound to preeminent nightlife institutions including Sony Hall | The Stranger | Superior Ingredients | Musica | Somewhere Nowhere | 3 Dollar Bill | The Chocolate Factory and headlining other major venues throughout the U.S. His eclectic sonic style has led him to share the stage with legendary and rising house and techno acts including Dombresky, Todd Terry, Rimarkable and Giolí & Assia. He has interviewed and profiled internationally-renowned artists including: Rimarkable, Prunk, LEFTI, Skream, Worakls, Franky Rizardo and more.Recently at Starr Bar, Club Room - Soho Grand Hotel · often with Riccardo Tavarez, Patrick Kyle, IPOK, none of them here that night
