    their own biography

    the whole biography
    A born and bred in New Yorker, DJ Thank You first took to the decks at age 16, and has cemented herself as an integral force in the city's underground. Her signature stadium style sound has rightfully earned her the title “hottest DJ in NYC” (Interview Magazine). Known for clean technical execution and a mischievous sense of drama, DJ Thank You takes you for a wild ride... tight turns, curveball blends, sudden drops, and a euphoric hands-in-the-air spirit. She synthesized this approach in her self-produced debut record, “Roller Coaster,” an homage to the Dirty Dutch sound that first inspired her love for electronic music. Following the album’s release, she brought it on a nationwide tour with rising EDM superstars, Frost Children. In her 9 years as a DJ, she has been tapped by major cultural and brand-name institutions including Celine (hand selected by Hedi Slimane himself), Nike, Adidas, Ugg, Red Bull, NASDAQ, Gagosian Gallery, Rockefeller Center, Times Square Arts (TSQ), and was featured twice in the official score of the Mowalola's "Detty Pop" collection.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Massachusetts born and Brooklyn based artist, producer and audio engineer Sophie Sawaya MacArthur, better known as Swaya, has spent a lifetime exploring the possibilities of storytelling and meaning making through sound. Raised by Brazilian and American parents, she spent her childhood studying violin before becoming disillusioned by the lack of creativity classical studies offered. She found her musical home on the internet becoming obsessed with hardcore punk, hip hop and experimental electronic music. A graduate of Communications Studies at Concordia University, she spent 5 years in Montreal where she was an active member of the music scene, performing her music at MUTEK, Pop Montreal, Slut Island, Never Apart, Datcha and more. Since she began posting her music online in 2016, Swaya has released 5 EPs and countless tracks, edits and mixes, consistently pushing and reinventing herself with each release. Beyond her personal artistic work Swaya is also an established producer and audio engineer, currently working with Brooklyn producer Tony Seltzer at his studio Seltzer Sounds. She has worked with the likes of Zelooperz, Babyxsosa, Key!, Hawa, Marti, Mercury, Michael Christmas, Magella and more.
    Their RA profile lists Purple Tape Pedigree, Tobago Tracks, s.M.i.L.e. and Ultra Rare.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Her work is both driving and calculated as well as colorful and joyful, showcasing a strong influence of diasporic roots and a depth of musical understanding that's under constant redefinition. Having performed with staple parties of the LA underground, such as Mustache Mondays and Rail Up, she’s opened for DJ Lag, Yaeji, Mexican Jihad, Tayhana, and Coucou Chloe. Her mixes provide an exploratory interpretation of music and culture, such as her mix for Moonshine on Rinse France, her mix for The Astral Plane’s LA series, and her 100% Dancehall Mix for Sleeper Cell on NTS.
