    the whole biography
    Jin Synth, a sound artist and DJ based in London, seamlessly blends various textural and experimental analogue noise elements into her music. At the core of Jin's artistry lies a masterful fusion of diverse textures and experimental layers, all meticulously woven into her sonic tapestry. With her synthesisers, modular, and an array of microphones primed for capturing the world's ambient sounds, Jin Synth embarks on a journey that defies convention. In the realm of DJ performances, Jin sets out to craft an ethereal, meditative ambience that transports her audience to an abstract realm. She views her CDJ setup as an instrument, allowing her sonic adventures to unfold in the moment as she freely plays her own music materials and other artists' tunes. During her live performances, this improvisational interplay invites listeners to lose themselves in a mesmerising experience where every note, every pulse, and every resonance holds the potential for revelation. In recent years, Jin's academic background has led her to delve deep into the enchanting universe of sonic art. Beyond her eclectic performances, she has been passionately crafting her own instruments and DIY microphones, each serving as a vessel for creating sounds as unique as her artistic vision. With every twist of a knob and every patch cable connected, Jin explores the boundaries of sound, delivering a musical experience that is as innovative as it is immersive.

  • Francis Harris

    New York City · 22 bookings since Oct 2023

    “With 20 years of DJing at the world's top clubs and almost a hundred releases under different monikers to his credit, one might think that Francis Harris had reached the pinnacle of his career, or at least firmly established his niche; but 2012 marked a pivotal year for the Brooklyn-based producer in which his true potential as a composer, producer and label executive was revealed.”

    the whole biography
    With 20 years of DJing at the world's top clubs and almost a hundred releases under different monikers to his credit, one might think that Francis Harris had reached the pinnacle of his career, or at least firmly established his niche; but 2012 marked a pivotal year for the Brooklyn-based producer in which his true potential as a composer, producer and label executive was revealed. In seeking a more subtle and emotional sound, Harris departed from his tried and true methods as a solo studio engineer, forging creative collaborations that rekindled his long dormant interest in the craft of songwriting, live instrumentation and performance. The result were the two albums Leland (2012) and Minutes Of Sleep (2014) laced with piano, guitar, cello, trumpet and vocals by Danish singer Gry Baggien, delivered on Scissor and Thread, a new label Harris formed as a platform for this highly personal expression. With newfound purpose, Harris returned to the club music arena with an entirely new approach to making music. Focused on the development of new artists for the Scissor and Thread collective, Harris has been collaborating in the studio and behind the decks with label partner Anthony Collins as Frank & Tony. Together the pair have released an array of well received EPs and the albums You Go Girl (2014) and Ethos (2024) showcasing pitched down melodic house tunes. His third solo-studio album Trivial Occupations released in 2018 followed by his newest long player Thresholds in 2022.

    the whole biography
    Andrew brings the same deft curatorial hand to DJing as he does to his esteemed ESP Institute imprint, a global touchstone for genre-bending experimental dance fare. From day one, ESP Institute releases have found their way into the bags of dance-floor heavyhitters from Harvey to Weatherall and Moodymann to the legendary David Mancuso. While juggling all of the above and being an in-demand Creative Director, Lovefingers cherrypicks his sets at the worlds best club nights, warehouse parties, festivals and events, collaborates with his friends (notably with Lee Douglas as The Stallions, Eddie Ruscha as Secret Fingers, and partner inc crime Heidi Lawden), as well as make regular appearances on cult radio shows like Beats In Space and his own monthly show on Dublab. If one thing has driven his myriad endeavors since the beginning, it's the love of sharing music — pure and simple. An unwavering passion for crate digging and a penchant for the esoteric, have seen him emerge as a revered musical storyteller among discerning international listeners. He’s also a really good fucking time!
