their own biography
the whole biography
Living in Brooklyn by way of Karachi, Pakistan, Dynoman is widely credited as an instrumental figure in the formation and development of the Karachi underground and Pakistan’s electronic music scene. He has been producing electronic music under the Dynoman moniker since 2009, and co-founded Forever South, Pakistan’s first internationally recognized digital label, in 2012. Over the years, his sound has evolved alongside his lived experience, remaining rhythm-forward, percussion-driven, and rooted in movement. After relocating to New York in 2017, Dynoman founded Rare Frequency Transmissions, which he continues to co-run. He is a frequent presence in the Brooklyn underground and self-releases much of his work through Dynoman Music, showcasing a wide breadth of styles and approaches. When stepping into the booth, his sets are shaped by the moment rather than pre-planning, often unfolding without a fixed trajectory as he responds to the energy of the space and the room. In 2023, Dynoman co-founded Tarka, a project celebrating diaspora through artistic practice. In recent years, his work has increasingly explored rhythm, repetition, and shared states through sound, with live performances and recordings reflecting a deep engagement with percussion-led, future-facing approaches grounded in South Asian lineage.Experimental on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesTheir RA profile lists Rare Frequency Transmissions.Recently at Le Bain, Elsewhere, Mood Ring · often with Bergsonist, Nabihah Iqbal, Ushka, none of them here that night

Ovid is a Brooklyn-based Korean-Latino Producer/DJ originally from the DC Metro area, who has been making electronic music for over 10 years. Having always been attracted to all things percussive-focused, the past few years lead him to discover the Hard Drum sound originally coming out of Bristol in the UK, which he now proudly considers one of the core facets of his own sound. He is affiliated with, and has released music through the Irish Hard Drum label FLOOD, as well as the Brooklyn-based Production House Loosee.Their RA profile lists Flood.Recently at Mood Ring, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Telephone · often with Janus Rose, KC, Eva Loveless, none of them here that night
“Their earliest love for dance music stems back to their childhood mastering Stepmania songs by NAOKI and SMiLE.dk on "Heavy" mode, drawing cues from their brother’s love for Gigi D'Agostino, parachute pants, and bleached bangs, and singing along to techno anime OSTs by Ayumi Hamasaki and Two-Mix.”

Their earliest love for dance music stems back to their childhood mastering Stepmania songs by NAOKI and SMiLE.dk on "Heavy" mode, drawing cues from their brother’s love for Gigi D'Agostino, parachute pants, and bleached bangs, and singing along to techno anime OSTs by Ayumi Hamasaki and Two-Mix. From liquid jungle, deranged donk, and happy hardcore to jersey club, demonic techno, and intergalactic house, PHANTAZN weaves sounds that lock dancefloors into worlds of phantasy––rendering liberating experiences built in Unity, and driven by Unreal Engines that pump bloodrushing kicks, ringing hi-hats, and lush chords into unexplored realms of the collective simulation.Recently at The Red Pavilion, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Trans-Pecos · often with WILHELMINA, ZAH, @RAISARA, none of them here that night
