their own biography
the whole biography
London-born, Atlanta-raised, and Brooklyn-based, J.N.R. grounds her obsession with digging and curation in a deep respect for club culture and endless hours spent on the dancefloor. Her sound sits at the crossroads of uk bass, prog, and tech house, with moments of meditative introspection and energetic exuberance doled out in equal measure. Classically trained for 15 years, J.N.R. brings both precision and playfulness to her sets, infusing foundational influences with fresh energy. She’s played at a number of notable venues in BK and beyond, including Elsewhere, H0L0, and Kater, and has graced the decks for respected NYC institutions like ReSolute and Ladies on Wax. J.N.R. sets traverse genres and are rooted in the raw expression of the 90s & early 00s: bumpy UKG, spacey prog, techy rollers, choppy breaks, and heady bass are all on the table.Recently at Trans-Pecos, Jupiter Disco, Bossa Nova Civic Club · often with Gigi Rio, Remniqe, Samuel Pojer, none of them here that night

Cutting his teeth as an independent show booker in NYC, Connor Beckett McInerney's love for indie rock is long documented in his decade-long career as a professional freelance music critic and editor, during which his byline appeared in storied publications such as Pitchfork, FLOOD Magazine, and Manhattan's own The Deli Magazine (where he also once served as Managing Editor). After many sweaty nights in the crowd, McInerney took to the booth in 2021, honing his love of electro, house, and garage through a year-long residency at the now-shuttered Café Rosarito (where he hosted his monthly UNFILTERED party). His selections are frequently heard throughout north Brooklyn, where he's lived since 2018.Recently at Hart Bar, Mood Ring, Wonderville · often with ogd, Kweku, LOSI, none of them here that night

As a former resident Emcee of the Bronx collective "LIVE FROM UNDERGROUND NY, I put my skills as a wordsmith to the test by delivering thought provoking poetry peppered with social commentary and witty one liners. As a pivotal member of the Hip Hop group "Dead MC society", I was able to express that same Lyrical prowess in the Hip Hop arena. using classic-esque beats, high level wordplay and and a plethora of flows, representing the art with dignity and style. Part of the Artist Collective "Eleven SixtySix", I have been able to explore Darker Ethereal soundscapes, as well as a crash course in independent production. Working alongside amazing talents such as BLKZEN, Kaiju Killer Klan, Monsters on the Horizon and many more, Inwas able to create a deeper sound and a firm niche for my music. Part of Earthtone NYC, alongside Gi Major and others, I was able to find a solid footing for his UK inspired audio palette. growing up as a part of NYCs rave scene, I always had a place in m6 heart for UK music, whether it be Grime, Dubstep, Garage, DnB, Jungle etc. Its only natural that I would find himself a part of NYCs Grime Collective, with radio sets on Rinse.fm alongside D.J. Oblig and Marcus Nasty of Nasty Crew fame, Grime is definitely a pillar of my sound. combining his sharp wit and his renaissance-esque vernacular L.O.C. always Delivers a unique audio experienceRecently at The Woodshop, Our Wicked Lady · often with @shmookyy, tonton, Samantha DaSilva, none of them here that night
