    their own biography

    the whole biography
    The Amsterdam-born, London-based DJ's rise to becoming one of the underground's most loved figures is a story of sheer dedication. Her introduction came through online channel Boiler Room, where her personality managing the door at events landed her a spot hosting shows for the burgeoning platform. A regular spot on world renowned radio station Rinse FM soon followed, where her knack for discovering new music and ability to connect with guests shone through, quickly racking up regular listeners from all over the globe in their thousands. As a born grafter, when she isn't selling out headline shows the world over at venues such as London’s O2 Academy Brixton and KOKO, Amsterdam’s Paradiso and Barcelona’s Razzmatazz, as well as hosting her very own stages at Glastonbury Festival, and headlining other festivals globally, Jyoty is dedicated to use her platform to give back to communities. In a nod to her Indian heritage, she has hosted DJ workshops for women in Calcutta alongside the British Council, and taught a six week course for young British Asian women looking to break into the music industry. Of these experiences, she says: "Passing on knowledge and experience is key to making a real change in music” In just a few years Jyoty has become a force of the industry in her own right. From the release of her first remix to sold out headline tours in Europe, Australia and North America and to being requested by the likes of Burberry, Jacquemus, GANNI and Prada to lead various musical experiences, Jyoty is proving herself as someone who is showing no signs of slowing down, and most definitely doesn’t wish to be seen as any one particular thing. Jyoty is here to represent good music and isn’t limiting how she does that.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    "Riobamba is an Ecuadorian-Lithuanian producer, DJ, and cultural activist based in Brooklyn. Riobamba’s rowdy, deeply researched live sets reflect back nightlife’s power as a site of joy and resistance, amplifying connective tissues between YouTube clips, dembow brujería, bodega soundtracks, and noise hyperreality “suped up with a twisted, industrial gnarl” (Complex). As a self-made bridge between música urbana’s underground movements and pioneers, Riobamba has recently shared the stage with Tego Calderón, Maluma, Nina Sky, DJ Playero, Rosa Pistola, and DJ Blass. The Fader has called her production work “a radically self-expressive piece of futurism that stands against a single, boxed-in definition of what Latinx club music can be.” Riobamba is founder of record label and creative agency APOCALIPSIS, a platform insistent on visibility for narratives by those “ni de aquí, ni de allá” (neither from here, nor there); recent highlights include curating and co-producing Boiler Room’s first reggaetón showcase, and providing ongoing music education in a Brooklyn juvenile detention center. Riobamba leads A&R for the iconic Nuyorican music label Fania, home to groundbreaking artists Celia Cruz, Héctor Lavoe, and Willie Colón, and was previously Music Editor of cultural platform Remezcla. Prior to moving to NYC, she was the first Colombia-based researcher in the Fulbright-mtvU program, studying the subversive power of digital music production in a region enduring the effects of civil conflict. Her original work has been featured in Resident Advisor, Univision, Fact Mag, The Fader, Thump, Complex, and Red Bull Music Academy Radio." - DISCWOMAN
