His use of unexpected, explicit, and self-aware track selections and samples recall an unpretentious vison of techno, making for catchy and unforgettable sets.

    the whole biography
    SENGA is a Polish-born, Brooklyn-raised electronic music producer and performer pioneering Neo Tekno — a sound rooted in the raw spirit of the European rave scene, with tributes to the global mainstream influences that have moved dancefloors across generations. Fusing psy, peak-time techno, hard trance, gabber, and hyper tekno through original vocals and custom synthesis, SENGA crosses genres and eras with equal force — honoring the lineage while grasping for new sounds with each performance. On the floor, that vision translates into pure physicality: extended build-ups that hold a crowd at the edge, punishing drops that break the tension wide open, and a relentless kick-and-bass that keeps bodies in a state of ecstatic release. With more than 70 performances in 2024 and a 2025 that brought marquee slots alongside some of the world's top hard techno headliners for crowds of thousands, SENGA continues to grow as a force in underground electronic music.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Nile Rondon aka CROCONILE is an open format DJ that specializes in techno, EDM, rap, house, reggae/ton, soca and pop. Born in St. Thomas, raised in Atlanta and residing in Brooklyn, you can hear the influence of each soundscape blended into his sets. CROCONILE started his audio engineering journey at the tail end of 2013 after experiencing BEYONCÉ(2013). From there, he felt inspired to create art through music in his own unique way and did so by producing mashups and writing poetry over the mashups during his college career. Using his years of being a violist and his music production expertise, he wanted to translate the musical forms into DJ sets and in 2021, he decided to take the leap. Since then, CROCONILE has been able to express his authentic self through the decks and has done so over one hundred times around the cities of New York, Brooklyn, Atlanta and Detroit, so far.

  • Wren's Lullaby

    New York City · 22 bookings since Apr 2024

    “Wren’s Lullaby is multimedia artist and DJ based in New York City.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Wren’s Lullaby is multimedia artist and DJ based in New York City. Her sets rise out of the shadows of queer nightlife, crafted with intention and care, fusing emotional resonance with rhythmic complexity. Whether in a smoke-filled basement, a warehouse rave, or a late-night bar booth, Wren builds immersive sonic worlds, ritualistic, cinematic, and often haunted. Her selections are shaped by a broad and nonlinear palette drawing from minimal techno, dark ambient, industrial textures, and the forgotten corners of the internet. Wren isn’t interested in genre for genre’s sake; instead, she curates with feeling. Her sound moves between tenderness and tension, layering dissonance and stillness into sets that are less about climax and more about sustained atmosphere. She’s known for long, textural builds and emotionally raw transitions, inviting dancers into spaces that feel intimate, distorted, and alive. Wren, and respective party: CMPLTLYGONE, have become a recurring figure in NYC’s underground since 2024, performing at queer-centric venues like Rash, Bossa Nova Civic Club, and Talon, as well as community-run events and warehouse parties throughout Brooklyn. Her presence on lineups often signals an intentional mood; events that center femme rage, trans joy, grief, resistance, and the subversion of normative dancefloor expectations. She’s shared space with a growing network of artists committed to radical nightlife—ones who know that safety, pleasure, and politics are inseparable. Off the decks, Wren is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher whose work spans video, text, and sound. Her practice focuses on memory, embodiment, queer archives, and the afterlives of club spaces. Her DJ alias, Wren’s Lullaby, echoes the emotional throughline of her sets: a sonic offering that is both comforting and unnerving. A lullaby for those still fighting to dream. Bookings and collaborations are welcome via Instagram DM (@wren1slullaby), especially from those cultivating queer, DIY, and intentional nightlife spaces.
