the whole biography
Using a combination of rich recorded instrumentation and live manipulation, Omar Ahmad aims to invoke a proto-genre, natural atmosphere that envelopes his audience in a dark, ritualistic sense of community. He is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist whose desire to derive the essential elements of sound has grown towards found-sound immersions, globally-influenced musical storytelling, and lush atmospheric compositions with age. As a third culture musician, he often finds himself looking to voice his own state of being caught in between movements and never fully belonging to a singular sound or ideology. In 2023 he released his debut album, Inheritance, via AKP Recordings with critical acclaim including BandCamp's Best Ambient and DJ Mag's "Artist You Need to Hear" recognition. In addition to producing his own work, Ahmad is a contributing DJ at Laylit, the largest and fastest-growing contemporary Middle Eastern and North African music community in New York, and alongside Miss Alicia (Alicia Coleman), Ahmad co-founded Ūmboma, a recurring global dance series emphasizing African, Arab and Latin American contemporary rhythms. A combination of Arabic, Swahili and Spanish words, Ūmboma signifies a Congregation of Freedom & Dance.Their RA profile lists Mesma Records, Microtones and AKP Recordings.Recently at Earthly Delights, Elsewhere, Jupiter Disco · often with DJ Haram, Arroyo, Abby Echiverri, none of them here that night

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.Their RA profile lists Rhythm Section International, Nervous Horizon, Steel City Dance Discs and Kindergarten Records.Recently at Bossa Nova Civic Club, public records, BASEMENT · often with Sobolik, Verraco, Ayesha, none of them here that night

Sheepshead is a Brooklyn born-and-raised DJ, curator and host of Newype Rhythms on Inverted Audio. His unconventional selections span bass music, house, UK Funky, UKG, dubstep, drum 'n bass, jungle, and ambient, consistently challenging the constraints of tempo and genre. With a magnetic methodology to mixing, his whimsical style has secured him slots at Unsound Festival, NTS, The Lot Radio, Rinse France, SWU.FM and more. Not only does his expansive repertoire reinforce his panache to adapt, but his knack for reading the room also allows him to connect with crowds on a personal level - knowing when to drop a banger or bring out a chuckle at the right time.Recently at Earthly Delights, Jupiter Disco, Bossa Nova Civic Club · often with EMMALINE, Sister Zo, Martini, none of them here that night
