their own biography
the whole biography
Jeffrey Sfire is originally from suburban Detroit, where he was introduced to underground dance music and illegal warehouse parties as a teenager in the 90's. This escape from suburbia led him to the dancefloors of the city’s most talented DJs and musicians, who soon exposed him to a new culture of creative riches. Learning by example, Sfire’s taste and skills as a DJ developed naturally and he soon began playing out at parties, clubs and sleazy gay afterhours, entering covertly through back doors or with a fake ID. At the age of 18, a move to Chicago led Sfire to a whole other side of dance music history, including the Italo Disco and High Energy sounds of the 1980s. He spent afternoons digging through record store crates, meeting retired DJs and developing his musical palette. Jeffrey’s style is absolutely unique and clearly tied to the roots of his midwest upbringing and he can be found working the floor out with italo, high nrg, chicago house, and everything WBMX. Having held numerous club residencies, he regularly plays in LA, Detroit, Chicago, and New York, consistently offering a finely-tuned selection at clubs like Basement and Nowadays in NY, Panoramabar Berlin, and Hot Mass in Pittsburgh. He also has a hand in producing parties such as Detroit's infamous Movement weekend queer rager, Club Toilet, and collaborating with Justin Cudmore on a new monthly Sunday party at Signal (NY). Jeffrey is also a gifted producer and one half of production projects: Sfire (with Sophie), Looky Looky, and Pushing Movies with releases on labels such as Dark Entries, Cocktail D’Amore Music and Ultramajic, while his mixes have long been prized for their depth and quality and are often featured as RA mix of the day.House on 6, Deep House on 4, Synth-pop on 4 and New Wave on 3. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on CockTail d'Amore Music (1), HMRecords (1) and The Brvtalist (1); their RA profile also lists Ultramajic. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Gabriela, BASEMENT, Good Room · often with Mike Servito, Justin Cudmore, Sterling Juan Diaz, none of them here that night

“San Francisco-based selector Clearcast is one to watch.”
their own biography
the whole biography
San Francisco-based selector Clearcast is one to watch. Leaning heavily into NUKG and tenebrous UK Bass, the artist’s sets often lie at the intersection between breakbeat bangers and introspective euphoria, with dreamy soundscapes and bright melodies pulled from internet electronica and experimental dance music. The Vitamin1000 resident’s live shows, often featured as RA picks, exude an inimitable vibrancy—with sets drawing from the artist’s own discography of smartly-arranged compositions and Soundcloud edits, containing plenty of glistening textures and ricocheting vocal melodies. The producer continues to impress with prolific releases, including “Crash and Fall” with Psykh on Tabula Rasa's first compilation tape "Here and Now" and as a producer on WTRGRL’s “Heroine,” as heard in Mary Anne Hobbs' BBC 6 Radio show and featured in Wonderland Magazine, and releases with labels such as Locked On, Helix, Tabula Rasa, fourbyfour and Duckland. Their music has received support from industry heavyweights including Disclosure, Salute, G Jones, Conducta, Chopsoe, Camoufly, Darby, scruz, Gemi, and 33 Below. With streams on Keep Hush, Rinse France, and Brooklyn’s The Lot, the artist continues to draw acclaim over the airwaves as a resident on SF-based radio station HydeFM hosting their own monthly show CLOUDCONTROL. Clearcast has played alongside electronic dance music acts that include Skrillex, Fred Again, Interplanetary Criminal, The Blessed Madonna, A.G. Cook, Sammy Virji, Ben UFO, Overmono, Sega Bodega, Mall Grab, 100 Gecs, DJ Seinfeld, Chloe Robinson, Umru, DJ ADHD, Baseck, UNIIQU3, Chippy Nonstop, Food House (Fraxiom + Gupi) and Jedwill and on events by promoters Noise Pop, Fake and Gay, Squish, Vitamin1000, He.She.They., and AYLI.
