    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Born and raised in the snowy city of Sapporo, Japan, and now residing in Austin, Texas, Qrion takes inspiration from the robust environments at her whim. Melancholic, wistful, and dancefloor-minded, Qrion’s sound is multi-layered in its approach. Ranging from supple, soft exploratory works to driving house, and soul-sampling groovers, her touch is light and playful – evoking memories and feelings through sound. From her long-running relationship with Anjunadeep to her remixes for the likes of Booka Shade, Röyksopp, CRi, and more, her productions have drawn acclaim across dancefloors globally. There’s a reason why she was named on Forbes Japan’s 30 Under 30 list: since the inception of her musical career, Qrion has become a staple on revered labels such as Anjunadeep, Last Night On Earth, Mad Decent, Ultra Music, and more. Her one-of-a-kind style has garnered support from BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard, and Pete Tong, and industry figures Anna Lunoe, Mall Grab, Todd Edwards, and Lane 8. Recognized by Spotify’s EQUAL Program with a billboard in New York City’s Times Square, Qrion demonstrated her meteoric rise throughout 2021: Qrion released her debut full-length record I Hope It Lasts Forever via Anjunadeep, her most breathtaking work to date. Qrion was awarded the title of DJ Mag’s 2021 Future Star and was included in Billboard’s 20 Best Dance Albums in 2021. She has since released original productions most notably her collaborative single “High & Dry” with Sasha via Last Night On Earth and her singles “Miyanosawa” and “Ice Palace” on her new album We Are Always Under The Same Sky which was released January 2025 on Anjunadeep..
    Their RA profile lists Global Underground, Anjunadeep, Last Night On Earth and This Never Happened.

    “Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Electric is the only way to describe Andi’s sets. The NYC-based DJ, producer, and SYNTHICIDE label/party boss constructs a dynamic and intoxicating flow that’s always palpable between the walls of the foggy, neon-lit dancefloor. Parts sleaze and sultry, Andi’s aesthetic is body music based, thriving on the delivery of the groove and the bombastic highs of a track’s apex. As a devotee of distinct sounds such as EBM, new beat, Italo, freestyle and housey 90s elements, her sets reflect her deep vinyl collection: diverse, yet focused, and completely one-of-a-kind. Her own productions aim to challenge the expectations within the confines of traditionally masculine dance genres. With bassline-heavy grooves and a conceptual emphasis on storytelling with samples taken from long-forgotten erotic thrillers and seedy sci-fi films, Andi adds a wry yet delicate touch to machine music. As the boss of SYNTHICIDE—the internationally known party, label and event series—Andi has cultivated the dark underground scene for over a decade in Brooklyn. SYNTHICIDE started at the notorious club in Bushwick, Bossa Nova Civic Club, where the party still holds a monthly residency. Additionally, Andi is a resident at The Lot Radio and NYC’s Gabriela.

    “Arvin T’s sound is a vast, rhythmic vocabulary that navigates the spectrum of emotions.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Arvin T’s sound is a vast, rhythmic vocabulary that navigates the spectrum of emotions. He is a resident at Brooklyn club Gabriela and a frequent collaborator with the renown dark dance label/party Synthicide. Arvin can also be found in rotation in New York City's vibrant club scene including regular appearances at Basement, Good Room, and Paragon; with a formidable international presence to match. His production navigates high-energy and bouncy progressive, while grounding those movements in the textures of wave, 90s house, and trance-oriented atmospheres. This versatile output has garnered support across the global circuit, anchored by releases on the Dutch imprint Return To Forever, alongside New York’s own E-Missions Recordings and Magic City.

    the whole biography
    The Bay area native is an electronic music pariah who enjoys disintegrating and destroying dance music tropes through bizarre and wonderful sound potions. Frequent collaborator of Dark Entries records, he released his debut LP “Shaytoon” through their imprint in 2020. His DJ sets can range from off-kilter house and psychedelic techno, to haute electro, aphrodisiac acid and freaky jakbeat music. In late 2017 he began performing live PA sets, sonically ranging from potent drum cocktails to psychedelic and oxygenated soundscapes. Sepehr is the label head of Shaytoon Records, an imprint focused on Middle Eastern underground electronic music.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Celebrated for traveling the world to find new musical gems, from the Middle East, Europe, Tokyo, and Bangkok, Kristine Barilli has spent the last 20 years traversing the far reaching corners of the globe in pursuit of the world’s most elusive and undiscovered musical gems. She is a born and bred New Yorker with a masterful ability to translate her listening habits into rhapsodic DJ sets. As sharp as the city she hails from, Barilli’s punk ethos blends seamlessly with her eclectic style, often incorporating rare and esoteric tracks into her performances. Her sound, which she describes as “sleazy and street-based,” is an ode to her independent conviction, creating a symbiotic relationship between her vast knowledge and ever-expanding audience. Barilli has built a reputation for her unique and eclectic sound, sharing stages with prominent artists like DJ Harvey, 2ManyDJs, and James Murphy. She’s a fixture in New York’s music scene, regularly playing at venues such as Good Room, Public Records, and Knockdown Center. She also hosts “Totally Corrupt,” a monthly radio show on The Lot Radio and works as the lead music supervisor for ROVR and New York’s Raina. She has been featured in numerous books such as Dust and Grooves and VINYL NYC for her extensive and diverse record collection and has served as Music Director/Curator at Public Records as well as Fotografiska Museum + Currently Peoples NY.
