their own biography
the whole biography
Using a combination of rich recorded instrumentation and live manipulation, Omar Ahmad aims to invoke a proto-genre, natural atmosphere that envelopes his audience in a dark, ritualistic sense of community. He is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist whose desire to derive the essential elements of sound has grown towards found-sound immersions, globally-influenced musical storytelling, and lush atmospheric compositions with age. As a third culture musician, he often finds himself looking to voice his own state of being caught in between movements and never fully belonging to a singular sound or ideology. In 2023 he released his debut album, Inheritance, via AKP Recordings with critical acclaim including BandCamp's Best Ambient and DJ Mag's "Artist You Need to Hear" recognition. In addition to producing his own work, Ahmad is a contributing DJ at Laylit, the largest and fastest-growing contemporary Middle Eastern and North African music community in New York, and alongside Miss Alicia (Alicia Coleman), Ahmad co-founded Ūmboma, a recurring global dance series emphasizing African, Arab and Latin American contemporary rhythms. A combination of Arabic, Swahili and Spanish words, Ūmboma signifies a Congregation of Freedom & Dance.Their RA profile lists Mesma Records, Microtones and AKP Recordings.Recently at Good Room, Rash, The Living Gallery · often with DJ Haram, Arroyo, Abby Echiverri, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Raised between Michigan and Ontario, the artist has carved a unique pathway for herself since the launch of her debut EP Notice, gaining traction throughout North America and beyond for her eclectic hardware live sets. With the titular single securing a spot on NPR’’s “100 Best Songs of 2021” list, Notice–released through Shigeto’s Portage Garage Sounds label–is currently on its third vinyl pressing. To the outside eye, Lakkis’ rise might appear rapid; in reality, it’s been over a decade in the making for the songwriter, singer, producer, poet, and DJ. A music lover from a young age, she wrote her first song at 17, experimenting with the singer/songwriting format before her exposure to the Detroit techno sound. Shapeshifting with time, she debuted “This Is How It Goes,” a synth-laden jam in early 2019. She discovered a sonic home in Seraphine Collective, a collective supporting women and queer creators, honing her talents as a selector and technical mixer. She premiered her live set in 2018 weaving Arabic vocals and genre-defying beats, solidifying her as one to watch. Since 2021, she’s been expanding her reach, touring with Ela Minus across the US and Shigeto across Europe, and landing a radio show with Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM. Remaining true to her roots however, she has maintained a presence in Detroit, hosting two DJ residencies in the city, playing regularly in clubs such as Spot Lite and Marble Bar, and making her debut at Movement Electronic Music Festival in 2022. She has performed in support of Danny Brown at his annual Bruiser Thanksgiving and in collaboration with NTS. In 2022, she was named a Kresge Artist Fellow for her boundary-pushing artistic achievement. She premiered her music video for Notice’s “Wen Rayeh” in late 2022 to positive reception. She’s currently developing her sophomore release. -Crystal MionerTheir RA profile lists Portage Garage Sounds.Recently at public records, Mood Ring, Gabriela · often with DJ Shannon, Vladimir Ivkovic, cotton, none of them here that night
