    their own biography

    the whole biography
    There are DJs, there are producers, and then there are artists whose signature is so defined that you recognise them before you even see who is in the booth. rich NXT is one of those artists. His sound is unique, driving, and instantly recognisable. The groove, the swing, the bassline, it is his blueprint. When he steps behind the decks, the character of the room shifts in pulse and with an unmistakable presence. That power comes from roots that run deep. Growing up in East London jungle, rave, and UK club culture, Rich developed an instinctive sense of rhythm and momentum. It is what makes him so confident on the decks, controlled yet expressive. He does not force the music, he guides it, and the room follows. Rich’s music is a true reflection of his personality. It is colourful, warm, detailed, and unmistakably unique. Whether it leans minimal, deeper, rolling tech, garage, or something in between, his style refuses to sit still. He evolves, he experiments, he keeps dancers guessing. That is why his releases on Hot Creations, Fuse & Locus London, Eastenderz, and PIV continue to cut through. They are crafted, confident, and built to last. As one of the early forces behind Fuse, Rich helped shape the identity and sound that became part of London’s modern club DNA. Still closely connected to the Fuse and Locus ecosystem, he represents the original spirit of the movement while standing firmly as an artist with his own vision, rhythm, and lane. On the decks, Rich is a storyteller. He can take an underground basement into a hypnotic groove, command a big stage with precision, or close a room with depth and patience. His versatility is real, whether underground, large scale, early, peak time, or closing. He handles it with the same calm mastery. He has played at some of the electronic scene’s most iconic clubs, from fabric and DC10 to Amnesia, Drumsheds, The Warehouse Project and BRET. A collaborator at heart and a pioneer to younger artists, rich NXT remains one of electronic music’s most authentic and influential voices. Nearly two decades in, he continues to evolve, inspire, and push the sound forward in the way only he can.
    Their RA profile lists Serialism Records, Be Chosen, No.19 Music, Deeperfect Records and 6 more.

    New York City · 63 bookings since Aug 2023

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Born and rooted in the NYC underground, Amy is a producer, DJ, and sound engineer shaped by her music composition studies at Berklee College of Music, a background that guides her ever evolving sound. Her music moves between intention and play, drifting through house, minimal, electro, deep, dub techno, and bent shades of jazz. Her artistic vision has been shaped by more than a decade of study, digging, producing, mixing, mastering, and living within the underground culture of New York City. She first stepped into the world of production and mixing records at the age of 15 through an internship at a NYC DJ and music production school, where long afternoons in the studio and trips to Halcyon and A1 Records opened the door to a deeper musical world. Her early mentors introduced her to the discipline behind the craft and helped refine her approach to sound. At the age of 17, she began performing at venues that helped shape Brooklyn’s underground dance music scene, such as TBA Brooklyn and Output. Her technical training later grew at SAE Institute NYC, where she explored recording, mixing, and mastering. She continues to explore the layers of her musical curiosity, shaping them into a sound that remains both intricate and personal. She has appeared alongside artists who inspire her, such as Priku, Sepp, Chklte, Cristian AB, Giammarco Orsini, O.bee, Tomas Station, Sweely, DJ W!LD, Acid Pauli, Guy J, Tinlicker, Liquid Earth, & more. Her sound has reached many corners of the scene, from ReSolute to Elements Music & Arts Festival, Apollo Studio, H0L0, Signal, Good Room, Outer Heaven, Knockdown Center, Elsewhere, Members Only, House of Yes, with new chapters on the horizon.

    the whole biography
    With a scene as vast as Brooklyn, there are few artists and selectors that have shown as much promise as EREZ.JPG. His selection of underground cuts and eclectic sounds is a clear reflection of his devotion to the local scene and attention to international trends. He is known for hammering anything from minimal to disco, from 90's house to breaks - anything that will elevate the energy and get everyone moving and grooving. Erez's energy on the decks and on the dancefloor is absolutely magnetic--it's no wonder his recently launched party series and community, Say Yes, has already received much support from the local dance music community. Within a year of DJing in Brooklyn, Erez went from DJing fraternity parties to consistent bookings, including landing a residency at TBA Brooklyn and Ciao Ciao Disco and appearances at Elsewhere, The Brooklyn Monarch, Noir, Mood Ring, and more.
