  the whole biography

  For nearly three decades, Beartrax has been exploring a wide range of instruments and styles since first picking up the violin. His musical journey consisted of playing in orchestras, jazz ensembles, and a metal band before he discovered electronic music in late 2011, after which he dove head-on into the world of production and DJing. The currently New York-based artist’s productions and performances consist of synth-laden melodies with seamlessly blended violins in order to reflect his rich musical background and passion for melodies. His influences span heavy metal, punk, new wave, and classical music. Over the years, his productions have climbed several charts and gained support from renowned DJs. In pursuit of his artistic vision, he launched his own imprint, Melodize, as a platform to showcase his unique approach to house, disco, and techno. Beyond his own work, Melodize has featured tracks and remixes from artists such as Lauer, Massimiliano Pagliara, Legowelt, Fabrizio Mammarella, Undo, and Aural Trace, receiving support from Skatebård, Gerd Janson, I-F, Jennifer Cardini, and Alexander Robotnick, among others. The label has hosted showcases at venues such as Renate and Sisyphos in Berlin, Freedonia in Barcelona, Silbergold in Frankfurt, and Bossa Nova Civic Club in his home base of New York. Beartrax has also appeared throughout venues and parties in New York such as Good Room, Mansions, Cityfox, and House of Yes. Additionally, his mixes have appeared on Bordello A Parigi, Minitel, Music is 4 Lovers, and Bespoke Musik, among other platforms. In a rapidly changing scene, Beartrax strives to express his musical approach to dance music with his imprint, productions and performances.

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets. The NYC-based DJ, producer, and SYNTHICIDE label/party boss constructs a dynamic and intoxicating flow that’s always palpable between the walls of the foggy, neon-lit dancefloor. Parts sleaze and sultry, Andi’s aesthetic is body music based, thriving on the delivery of the groove and the bombastic highs of a track’s apex. As a devotee of distinct sounds such as EBM, new beat, Italo, freestyle and housey 90s elements, her sets reflect her deep vinyl collection: diverse, yet focused, and completely one-of-a-kind. Her own productions aim to challenge the expectations within the confines of traditionally masculine dance genres. With bassline-heavy grooves and a conceptual emphasis on storytelling with samples taken from long-forgotten erotic thrillers and seedy sci-fi films, Andi adds a wry yet delicate touch to machine music. As the boss of SYNTHICIDE—the internationally known party, label and event series—Andi has cultivated the dark underground scene for over a decade in Brooklyn. SYNTHICIDE started at the notorious club in Bushwick, Bossa Nova Civic Club, where the party still holds a monthly residency. Additionally, Andi is a resident at The Lot Radio and NYC’s Gabriela.
