  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Hailing from Paris with Bulgarian roots, Karassimeon has dedicated his artistic journey to the electronic sound of past decades, mainly the 70s, 80s and early 90s. Disco and EBM are his conflicting obsessions: his motto is “Glitter & Leather”. Above all, his main inspirations are cinematographic and dystopian, embodied by artists such as Goblin, John Carpenter and Giorgi Moroder. The encounter with Toulouse based Ritmo Fatale was inevitable, resulting in the release of “Nightmare Disco”: a track blending French touch and bleeding dark disco beats. Their shared passion for both the italo-disco legacy and the French sound embodied by Zone, Ed Banger or Institube records will soon see them release a full-fledged EP - expect some blood on the dancefloor! Besides this, his love for the gems produced in the 80s results in an ever-growing collection of edits, which he shares with his community, spreading the love for classics such as Blue Monday by New Order, It's A Sin by the Pet Shop Boys...among many to come. Stay tuned!

  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.
