their own biography
the whole biography
Miami-bred duo INVT are known for their sound system-focused music, blending club genres with dub influences, swung rhythms, and Latin-rooted percussion. Their catalog spans over 200 tracks, alongside live hardware performances and DJ sets at institutions including DC-10 (Circoloco), Fabric, Panorama Bar, Blitz, Club Space, Nowadays and Draaimolen, with notable b2bs with acts like Skream, Skee Mask, Sammy Virji, Bradley Zero and DJ Python. Emerging independently during the pandemic, INVT built momentum through a prolific run of self-released music on Bandcamp, quickly earning support from some of the most influential DJs in the world. Sustaining that momentum through consistent releases, the duo became recognized for a high-volume yet high-quality output. All aspects of the project are developed in house by the pair. They write, produce, mix, and master their own music, while also designing the visual side of the project themselves through clothing collections, art exhibits, videos, and album artwork. Built on lifelong friendship and a shared commitment to authentic electronic music, INVT continue to champion Miami talent while carving out their own lane within contemporary global dance music. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Booking Contact: US & Canada: amctaggart@tbaagency.com Rest of World: mikel@b4bookings.netTheir RA profile lists Cuttin' Headz and ec2a.Recently at SILO, public records, Brooklyn Mirage · often with Manu Miran, Naim Zarzour, CHOQUE, none of them here that night

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 The Chocolate Factory, Good Room, Paragon · often with Sterling Juan Diaz, ALEXIS DE LA ROSA, Juliana Huxtable, none of them here that night

“Born and raised in Queens, a city dweller and a club kid, Kilopatrah has an innate and superlative gift for transferring energy from the booth to the dance floor—through exciting house, techno, and jungle, and moments that both harken to Sound Factory–era glory days and bring you to sweaty BPMs of the future.”

Born and raised in Queens, a city dweller and a club kid, Kilopatrah has an innate and superlative gift for transferring energy from the booth to the dance floor—through exciting house, techno, and jungle, and moments that both harken to Sound Factory–era glory days and bring you to sweaty BPMs of the future. Their sets are palpably personal: The dance floor has always been a powerful platform for expression for Kilo, once as a freeing and connecting space for a quiet house dancer and now as one for moving others like them. When Kilo gets going, you’ll lose sense of the kick drum versus the beat of your own body against the floor. That’s a gift from them to you, and your percussion is a gift back to them. Kilo brings their energetic sass to a monthly Lot Radio residency and to parties with impressive lineups, playing alongside Todd Terry home in New York, at the legendary Movement weekend Club Toilet in Detroit, and for Boiler Room. Their mixes, for series such as Coloring Lessons, Honcho, and Juanita’s, and for spots on Rinse and Refuge, also capture the club at its most euphoric. You’ll step a little harder with Kilopatrah Jones.
