  the whole biography

  From intimate underground gatherings to packed main rooms, ISAbella has become a leading figure in today’s global electronic scene. As co-founder of the celebrated LGBTQ+ party, platform and collective MARICAS, she has crafted inclusive spaces that celebrate queer culture and foster connection both on and off the dancefloor. Her impact, however, extends far beyond the city – ISAbella is now a powerful presence on the international electronic music circuit, known for emotionally charged sets that blend house and techno into deeply transformative dancefloor journeys. Originally from Cali, Colombia, ISAbella found her creative home in Barcelona, where she co-founded MARICAS in 2018—a party that quickly evolved into a multidisciplinary platform and record label. In 2020, she released her debut EP Audio Exótica on MARICAS Records and launched the livestream series The Art of Staying at Home, which offered a lifeline of connection and joy during lockdown. As a producer, ISAbella continues to explore hypnotic and percussive sonic landscapes that reflect her Latin American roots and club sensibilities. Her music has been featured on respected imprints like Peach Discs and MARICAS Records, with tracks that balance raw emotional intensity and bold rhythmic energy—further solidifying her voice as a singular artist in the global scene. Her reach has since gone global, with standout performances at world-renowned festivals like Primavera Sound, Glastonbury, Sónar, Dekmantel, Dimensions and Lentekabinet. On the club circuit, she’s brought her distinctive sound to iconic, legendary venues including Berghain, Fabric, Nitsa and Fold. Beyond the decks, ISAbella continues to push for visibility and liberation within the scene—championing a vision of club culture that is radical, joyful and deeply human.

  the whole biography

  Rooted in her native San Francisco upbringing and rich Irish/Iranian heritage, Sinéad brings vintage and contemporary selections spanning 2000’s tech flavours from the West Coast, while embracing a breadth of late 90's UK rhythms. Sinéad is a resident of New York’s public records, a striking relationship that’s forged a series of shows spotlighting female and queer voices in dance music. Europe and Britain have also taken note, with previous tours stopping at Manchester’s The White Hotel, Leeds’ Wire, London’s Fabric, Edinburgh’s Sneaky Petes and Paris’ Djoon amongst others. If it’s mixes, multiple transmissions for NTS Radio and The Lot Radio showcase that feeling best. While evidence of live dancefloor action can be parsed from her set at 2024’s Love International and a mix for Italy’s Polifonic Podcast. 2025 see the continuation of her public records residency, alongside multiple tours of Europe and UK. Undoubtedly, next year will provide a further platform for her to champion the sounds she loves.

  “Some DJs burst upon the scene like a supernova, fading just as quickly.”

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Some DJs burst upon the scene like a supernova, fading just as quickly. Others take years, even decades, to make their way—but those are the ones who make the most impact, thanks to a lifetime of accumulated musical wisdom. Mike Servito is a prime example of the latter. His career is one that’s defined by a slow and steady rise to upper ranks of the deejaying realm—and along the way, he’s perfected a jacking style that equal parts house, acid and techno, a sound that pays homage to the past while being very much of-the-moment. A Detroit-area native, Servito got his early education by tuning into the Electrifying Mojo and the Wizard (Jeff Mill’s radio moniker). By the early ’90s, Servito was primed to try his hand at the deejaying arts, “I was just kind of cocky about it,” he says. “I knew I could do it.” And he was right—in the DJ hotbed of Detroit, internalizing knowledge gleamed from the likes of Mike Huckaby and Claude Young, he kept working at it until he established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the Motor City circuit, eventually becoming a member in good standing with the inner circle of Ghostly International. But Servito felt the need for a change from the sometimes insular environment of Detroit. By the late ’00s, he was living in NYC with no real game plan in place. As it turned out, he didn’t really need one—he soon fell in with the city’s premier techno party, The Bunker, becoming one of its mainstay residents. Around the same time, he was beginning to make his presence known on a global scale, packing dance floors with gigs around the States and around the world. But it was a hometown festival snub in 2014 that really got things going. Servito had played Movement once before, in 2011. “And between then and 2014,” he recalls, “I had been playing so many Bunker parties, playing so many great gigs and my profile was rising—so I was sure they would book me again.” The invite never came. Instead, he booked himself at every Movement after-party he could, one of which was the annual No Way Back, a legendary throw down hosted by The Bunker New York and Detroit’s Interdimensional Transmissions label. The set, a riotously sweaty bleeps-and-beats affair, was recorded for posterity; unexpectedly but deservedly, it garnered a nod as the year’s No 1 online Mix of the Year on Resident Advisor. That was the spark that set Servito’s career aflame, the push that took him to the top. Since then, he’s cemented his status as one of the most respected spinners around, regularly manning the decks at such hallowed halls as Berlin’s Panorama Bar, London’s XOYO and Tokyo’s Contact, not to mention the world’s best festivals—including, of course Movement. And to this day, his approach to deejaying is refreshingly simple: “I really don’t think about it,” he says, “When I’m playing, I just dive in, and I’m OK.” He’s far more than okay—he’s one of the best around.

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Derek Russo is a Brooklyn, NY based deejay, producer, promoter & educator. Russo has come to possess a unique sound culled from years of digging and DJing a variety of gigs. Bred in Washington, D.C. he spent 14 years in Colorado and was an integral component of the small but rock solid underground scene there. He’s now based in thriving Brooklyn, NY. His DJ sets can run across the board, and is adept at delivering high energy sets of Boogie, Funk, Balearic and Disco, next to deeper narratives combining House & Techno with leftfield excursions into more complex rhythms that blur those lines, finding the unique thread amongst it all, and always combining older gems with newer music. In 2020 he founded his label, Broad Channel, as an outlet to release his productions and push the sound further. Additional releases since 2019 have come out on Make Mistakes and Paul Fleetwood’s Perimeter Junk label. There’s also his Luvfreak alias for re-edits and sample heavy tracks. After recently wrapping a 5 year long, monthly radio show on Internet Public Radio (internetpublicradio.live) called “Morning Fever”, he started a new monthly show at The Face Radio in Brooklyn in August 2022 called "Xoloft", also the name of the party he throws. In 2021 he expanded into an educator role, as a course instructor for Garnish Music Production School in downtown Brooklyn, and currently teaching vinyl DJ classes at Superior Elevation in Brooklyn. Russo is currently focused on Xoloft the party and radio show, adding new producers to the Broad Channel roster, releasing more music and DJing in 2023.
