Nala got her start playing in underground nightclubs where she developed a reputation as a reliable tastemaker and energetic performer. Her knowledge of house, indie dance, electro, and breaks helped establish her "as one of Miami's top female DJs and certainly an act making some serious strides on the circuit." (EARMILK) After getting picked up by Claude VonStroke, Nala released a series of notable EPs on popular labels such as Dirtybird, Diynamic, and Pets Recordings. In 2022, Nala launched her own label, Mi Domina, where she released two EPs in the acid house and techno genre with support from DJs such as Amine Edge & Dance to Jackmaster.Their RA profile lists Dirtybird, Diynamic Music and Pets Recordings.Recently at Brooklyn Mirage, Superior Ingredients · often with Solomun, Meilgaarden, Alex Chapman, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Meagan Rodriguez is QRTR, a musician, DJ, and film composer flourishing within modern electronic music, recognized as a top rising indie artist. Building music of conceptual depth, the tonality of QRTR’s productions pull from various ethos: the entrancing and pulsating waves of house rhythms, psychedelic scopes of space and layering, and immersive worlds of sound that utilize her vast film and field recording library. QRTR can activate the biggest of stages and can also immerse the mind into a menagerie of unfolding styles cascading over one another. A singular artist of her generation, QRTR first established her voice with two monumental releases within a 24-month window: Drenched (2020) and infina ad nausea (2021), described by Pitchfork as an “euphoric trip through the mind” filled with “alternative-universe club classics in pastel blues and sludgy blacks” (Paste Magazine). Both records explored themes of submersion, repetition, and endurance. These ideas reach their most realized form on her third album, ONDAS (2025), a deeply personal work that translates those patterns into explicit vocal and lyrical explorations. ONDAS, translating to “waves” in Portuguese and Spanish, reflects on cyclical grief and relief, drawing from QRTR’s multilingual upbringing and a poem written in 2017 to her religious Portuguese mother - an invocation to keep moving forward, again and again, despite the ebb and flow of the tide. The live resume and presentation of QRTR’s music has become just as exemplary, making her presence known at prestigious festivals such as Coachella, Electric Forest, and HARD Summer, while also performing at some of the most cutting edge underground shows and festivals around the globe. Most notable are her appearances at Philly’s Making Time, as well as A2B2’s sold out Night of Fire festival at the Knockdown Center in New York, featuring QRTR alongside Arca, Eartheater, Andy Morin, Machinegirl, and Kero Kero Bonito. Millions of plays across streaming platforms worldwide and a dedicated fan base that’s expanded far outside of her East Coast roots, QRTR has become an undeniable force within modern electronic music.
