    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Carré [kah-RAY] is a producer and DJ based in London via Los Angeles. Named one of Mixmag's "Top Artists To Watch in 2026," she's rapidly established herself as a defining voice in contemporary dubstep—honoring the genre's foundations while pushing it into bold new territories. She's also one of the driving forces behind Fast At Work, the underground party series and label that Resident Advisor dubbed "one of LA's best warehouse parties." Carré’s ascent has been marked by a string of celebrated EPs, including 2024’s Soft Fascination, which launched the Fast At Work imprint, and Air Sign on Darwin’s SPE:C—(the latter of which features the track Fawn, named #13 on Resident Advisor’s “Best Tracks of 2024” list. In Spring 2025, Carré made a powerful debut on the legendary UK label Tempa with Body Shell, a release praised for bridging dubstep’s lineage with her own futuristic sensibility, followed closely by Meltdown on EMA’s label Woozy and Up Too Late on Fast At Work. Carré’s bookings have taken her across Europe, the US and Japan, with appearances at revered institutions such as Panorama Bar, FOLD, The White Hotel, Outlook Festival and Public Records. With further releases in the works and a growing international profile, Carré is widely regarded as a transatlantic torchbearer for dubstep’s next chapter, part of a new guard capable of upholding the genre’s legacy while decisively shaping its future.
    Their RA profile lists Tempa, SPE:C, Woozy, Bait and 1 more.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    The Bay Area dance music scene nourished Eugenia’s roots as a DJ, where she cut her teeth playing local clubs and organizing DIY events in San Francisco and the East Bay. Her energetic mixing style can be defined as bright, tender, reflective, and dynamic, jumping across many genres of dance music wrapped in a lush atmosphere — always with a signature touch of sass. Eugenia grew up living between California and northern Italy, and dove into the DIY scene in Boston in 2021, where she played with local queer dance music collective Boudoir. Her sets include HOR Berlin, Fast at Work in Los Angeles, Boiler Room in Boston, and Sound Gymnastics in Brooklyn. In March 2023, she founded LUSH, a queer femme-focused DIY rave co-organized with Adam Unknown. Eugenia is based out of Brooklyn as of 2023, where she continues to blossom further and curate her sound. Eugenia is also a practicing poet and host of a genre-non conforming, ambient-inspired mix series called The Shape of Memory as a part of experimental label Ghunghru, where she asks each artist to express a memory through the arc of a mix. The spirit of this series is to re-imagine memory as a breathing, living being, one that influences our feelings and sense of self
