    the whole biography
    When she DJ’s, her sets range widely, focused on bass music elementals: hard-hitting percussion, wobbly basslines, dub-inflected textures serving to center bass music as body music. Her enthusiasm for low-end-focused psychedelia has brought her to NYC institutions Nowadays, Public Records, Paragon plus radio appearances on The Lot Radio, Rinse FM, and Kindred. At Bossa Nova Civic Club, Eva is a resident DJ with her b2b partner DJ DEADNAME as DAYTONA 500. She recently released her debut single as part of the Stepfamily VEP on Beatrice M's technoid-dubstep label Bait.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Ma Sha is a New York-based producer and DJ who has been active in the scene since 2017 when she co-founded event series - now a NYC staple - Kindergarten. Since then, she established a radio show which alongside the local Kindergarten crew, holds a monthly residency on The Lot Radio, as well as a record label that has won “Best Breakthrough Label” at the 2022 DJ Mag North America Awards. Focusing on cosmic club workouts with wigged-out rhythmic structures, the label “has become an essential outpost for hard-to-define, easy-to-dance-to club music in just two short years” [DJ Mag]; presenting “twisty, rowdy and unpredictable club music rooted in techno from both sides of the Atlantic” [Resident Advisor]. Apart from running Kindergarten Records, Ma Sha is currently focusing on her solo productions to present her take on experimental high-voltage dance music with a debut release coming out soon. However, Ma Sha is not a novice within the realm of production; as she has been active as half of the band Sha Ru who have been on the radar since their debut EP on Sorry Records in 2019, followed by releases on Infinite Machine, Pressure Dome, Progressive Future, Shubzin, Inveterate and of course, Kindergarten Records. Besides running the label, producing and performing domestically and internationally, Ma Sha is also a co-founder of Hone.Social, a free DJing workshop initiative providing a place to learn and practice within a casual and supportive environment.
