the whole biography
Born and raised in New Orleans, now living in Brooklyn, Leonce is uncompromising, blending elements of American Urban and Experimental Electronica, a hardline style that influenced his development as a producer. He co-founded the infamous Club Morph in 2016 and its electronic-hybrid imprint label Morph Tracks. DJs supporting Leonce’s tracks have included DJ Holographic, Fred again, Mochakk, Virgil Abloh, Honey Dijon, Brodinski, Pangaea, Midland, Moxie, Joy Orbison, Leon Vynehall, Seth Troxler, Ben UFO, and The Carry Nation. 2023 was a banner year for Leonce, producing and headlining Atlanta’s Boiler Room in April, and then going on to tour in London, Berlin, Milan, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Barcelona. In August, Leonce supported the Atlanta tour stop on Beyonce’s Renaissance Tour, playing to a crowd of 70,000 in Atlanta’s Mercedes Benz Stadium. In October, Leonce remixed Kai Alcé and Ash Lauryn’s ‘Underground & Black’ and teamed up with British-Ghanaian artist Karen Nyame KG on the track ‘Nightryde,’ which featured in DJ Mag and Mixmag. November saw Leonce share the Elsewhere Main Stage in New York with Boys Noize. Spring 2024 brought the release of Leonce's debut album 'System of Objects,' which received a glowing review on RA. In May 2024, Leonce embarked on another EU headline run, followed up by single releases on LuckyMe and Nervous Records. To cap off 2024, Leonce supported Fred Again two nights in a row at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. His music featured on two year-end lists via RA's Best 25 Tracks of 2024 & DJ Mag's Top Albums of 2024. This year, Leonce has continued to tour at a frenetic pace, including debuts at Glastonbury and Under The K Bridge. With a recent release on fabric Originals and a new EP out soon, Leonce continues to solidify his position at the vanguard of the global club & techno scene.House on 13, Deep House on 6, Techno on 6 and Experimental on 6. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Bleep (2) (1), Morph Tracks (1) and Nervous Records (1); their RA profile also lists fabric Originals. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at BASEMENT, Paragon, Elsewhere · often with Sterling Juan Diaz, ALEXIS DE LA ROSA, Juliana Huxtable, none of them here that night
“Bianca Oblivion lives and breathes Los Angeles.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Bianca Oblivion lives and breathes Los Angeles. Born and raised in the City of Angels, the globe-trotting, genre-hopping, hard-hustling artist—who was recently named by Mixmag as one of 2023’s breakthrough DJs of the year and is also part of Beatport Next’s class of of 2024—is unbound by dance music orthodoxy, opting instead for an “anything goes as long as it bangs” approach that reflects the unique cultural palette of her hometown. Growing up Mexican in LA, Bianca heard G-funk blasting out of cars and cumbia coming out of the stereo at backyard BBQs, and during her teen years, she started spending her nights soaking up electro, house and all sorts of heavy bass music, most often in the city’s vibrant underground club and warehouse rave scene. She’s still raving today, and as a DJ, she’s intent on connecting the dots between seemingly disparate sounds, as likely to drop dancehall, reggaeton, hip-hop, R&B or even a cheeky pop edit as she is to unleash a torrent of gut-rumbling grime, dubstep, hardcore or some other bass-heavy sound. Bianca is the rare selector who can tear the roof off just about anywhere, and in the past few years, she’s showcased her skills not only at world-renowned festivals like Bass Coast, Glastonbury, Fusion and Boomtown, but also at iconic clubs like London’s fabric and Barcelona’s Razzmatazz. Still, it’s Warp Mode—the LA party she throws alongside fellow bass fiends Star Eyes and AK Sports—where she’s most comfortable, and not just behind the decks. Aside from providing a consistent platform for femme/non-binary, queer and POC artists, Warp Mode has become a beacon for low-end freakers from Southern California and beyond, which is why its unique brand of neon-streaked mayhem was broadcast to the world via an unforgettable Boiler Room takeover in 2023. Away from the dancefloor, Bianca also heads up Club Aerobics, a label and monthly radio show that’s been airing on NTS since 2017. And while she has a fantastic ear for other people’s tunes, she’s also made plenty of bangers of her own, flexing her production skills on releases for labels like N.A.A.F.I, Magic City and Future Bounce. Tracks like “Sinais,” “Eski Rave,” and “Selecta” have been rinsed on both sides of the Atlantic, and her song “EZ 4 Me” even landed in EA Sports FC 24, the latest installment of the newly rebranded FIFA video game series. DJ, producer, promoter… Bianca Oblivion does it all, spreading joy and always giving bassbins a serious workout. Keeping up with her is no easy task, but anyone who’s lucky enough to catch her would be well advised to sit back and let her go to work.Their RA profile lists Man Recordings, Pineapple Records, Naafi, Femme Culture and 4 more.Recently at Elsewhere, The Brooklyn Monarch, SILO · often with blal bloch, Viper, URLHug, none of them here that night
