their own biography
the whole biography
Michael’s love for DJing and music production started in Los Angeles at the early age of twelve and continued to ripen after completing a degree in Audio Engineering in San Francisco. His inherent passion for promoting and hosting events got thrown into the mix, founded on the importance of creating a space where people feel safe and can freely "dance like nobody's watching.” This methodology was the inspiration and concept for his brand and award-winning weekly party, Housepitality, going strong now for 21 years and becoming an institution for local, domestic and international artists, dancers and patrons in San Francisco. The brand has since expanded to Los Angeles, Chicago, and his new hometown, Brooklyn, New York. His greatest success to date is accredited to writing, producing, and performing live with the eclectic electronic ensemble, PillowTalk. Formed in the summer of 2011 in the Lower Haight district of San Francisco, PillowTalk's music fuses house, disco, classic R&B, soul, funk, and boogie with indie dance. With over ten releases including their 2018 sophomore album, “All People” and seven live tours around the globe, this project has received notoriety from fans, press, music venues, and festivals worldwide. Additional compositions and productions embodying his love for jazz, funk, R&B, and Latin rhythms can be found under his solo artist name, Michael Tello. His other live production/DJ duo, Signal Flow, has received praise for their collaborations with vocalists Kevin Knapp, Gustaph (Hercules and The Love Affair), Navid Izadi, Gretz and Michael Tello himself. Michaels new solo project, “Lil T,” signed to New York's Wolf + Lamb Records realizes an uncensored and deeper side to his productions with a slate of releases on Soul Clap Records, Uniting Souls Music and W+L. Along with some sonically pure remixes for Francesca Lombardo, Lee Curtis, Soul Clap, LowHeads plus much more cooking in the oven for 2020 which truly showcase this seasoned producer's variety and ability to make each song his own. With an extensive discography under his belt including releases on Life & Death, Visionquest, Crew Love, Wolf + Lamb, Kompakt, Jive, Culprit, Leftroom Limited, Om Records, Smoke N’ Mirrors and Roam Recordings, as well as remixes for Francesca Lombardo, Groove Armada, Kasper Bjork, DJ Tennis, HNQO, Laid Back, Soul Clap, W+L, Nick Monaco, Life On Planets, Lee Curtiss, Tone Of Arc, PillowTalk, Navid Izadi, Midnight Magic, Future Generations, Set Mo, B.Bravo and Lonely Boy, there is no doubt that Michael will continue doing what he loves and is most passionate about, music.Their RA profile lists Wolf + Lamb, Soul Clap Records, Uniting Souls Music and Housepit CHI Records.Recently at Moondog Hifi, Darling Rooftop, H0L0 · often with Ray Zuniga, Baby Prince, Sticky Dojah, none of them here that night
“Saqib is a creative force.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Saqib is a creative force. A DJ’s DJ, a deep digger of musical gems, a producer of equally unique gems, and a community builder. First and foremost a guitarist, bass player and drummer who grew up in the world of rock and metal from a young age in Pakistan, Saqib is a producer whose tracks transcend genre, era, hype, and scene. They speak the language of dance. With close to a hundred releases over the past decade he has slowly created a sound unto himself and a devoted following. It is a sound that crosses boundaries between house, techno, indie dance, hip hop, Bollywood, Lahore, Brooklyn, Detroit and Berlin mixed with some secret sauce known only to the man himself. Moving to New York City to play shoulder-to-shoulder with the best in the world, Saqib has shared the decks and earned plays from artists like Danny Tenaglia, Jamie Jones, Adam Ten, Blond:ish, Adriatique, Mita Gami, Bedouin, Lee Burridge, Robag Wruhme and so many more. His records, released on labels including Abracadabra, Maccabi House, Kindisch, Flying Circus, Get Physical, Sol Selectas, and Echolette, reflect a spectrum of musical sensibility that can only be described as UNIQUE… earning him a spot as one of of 1001 Tracklists’ Top 100 Producers and a regular spot in the Beatport top 10 in multiple genres. During the pandemic Saqib became a resident artist of Blondish:ish’s Abracadabra releasing music, doing A+R, and hosting a weekly twitch stream created entirely on his own called “Love Jams” that started a devoted following around his sound. In 2022 he started his own label ‘Beats On Time’, a Brooklyn-based indie dance imprint uplifting local and international artists alike. Whether at Brooklyn Mirage, Knockdown Center, a rooftop or a dimly-lit basement, Saqib leads the floor with his unique sound. A unique one who marches to the beat of his own drum and we all dance with him.Their RA profile lists Get Physical Music, Flying Circus, Kindisch Records, Intimate Project Music and 4 more.Recently at Superior Ingredients, About Last Night, Brooklyn Mirage · often with Sana, Taylor Bradford, Narasimha, none of them here that night

Nhii defines itself with borderless powerful yet emotional electronic world music. Not judging or valuing a path and the absence of any prejudices sets Nhii's energy free. This may also be rooted in the firm believe, that all beings, animals and plants, have souls just like you. Nhii wants to mirror this truth in its productions and awake awareness to dancers and listeners all over this beautiful planet. This love of truth and veneration for the seekers of truth is an important ingredient to Nhii’s daily life.Their RA profile lists Flying Circus, Kindisch Records, Stil vor Talent, Rebellion and 4 more.Recently at Listen Brooklyn, House of Yes · often with Horse Opera, Rithik Kundy, Mona Matsuoka, none of them here that night

Whether playing keyboards with PillowTalk or DJing solo at events like Houghton Festival and Love International, Shane’s diverse musical roots shine through in his song selection and technique. Growing up in New York City as a youth in the Metropolitan Opera, Shane cut his teeth mixing hip-hop and R&B records while studying classical piano & music theory at The Manhattan School of Music. Known for his eclectic closing-set each year at The Sunset Campout and annual Disco Knights slot at Burning Man, Shane’s skill lies in weaving together a wide range of genres and rhythms satisfying audiences from New York’s Panther Room to London’s Saatchi Gallery. Last year Shane was sponsored by Polaroid Originals headlining their opening party in Amsterdam. His summer tour was set to include Love International, Houghton, Dusk among others but the pandemic procured several livestreams instead including Diaries from the Underground with Holmar and several sets from Monarch in San Francisco under the “Songs for Lovers” moniker with partner, Alvaro Z. Shane has released music on Roam, Crew Love, and PillowTalk Music and will focus on more original music in 2023.Their RA profile lists Roam Recordings, Touch Of Class Records and PillowTalk Music.Recently at KEYBAR, Avant Gardner, H0L0 · often with Greg Paulus, Holmar, SOLANA, none of them here that night
