their own biography
the whole biography
Originally from Philadelphia, Michael Baltra discovered his love of dance music in New York. The raves he lost his mind at in the Meatpacking District took him towards DJing, then production, fascinated by the emotion he could evoke in the listener. Debuting with ‘The Vision’ in 2014, his dusty drums and ‘80s-era vocals quickly brought him a wide fanbase. Baltra’s work within the genres of lo-fi and filter house, though, inevitably led to him being boxed into those genres. He’s always shrugged off any pigeonholing, as his production shows he moves mercurially through dubstep, jungle, electro, ambient and beyond – releasing on labels including Local Action, Shall Not Fade and Future Classic. Alongside forthcoming EPs for Keinemusik’s sub-label VOD and Rinse FM, Baltra is dedicatedly building up his '96 and Forever' label. Through it he self-released his debut album, 2019’s Ted – a work dedicated to his late father, who passed away from cancer. His dad had been a keen songwriter, and Baltra sampled his work on the record, which was praised for its engulfing melodies and euphoric synth washes. Already a prolific releaser, this year sees a concerted effort by Baltra to unveil his most forward-thinking music yet. Singles ‘Echoes of Us’ fuses tunneling psych with euphoria, while ‘Twisted Ways’ darts between nifty synths and a scuttling low-end bassline.Their RA profile lists Future Classic, Ghostly International, Mad Decent, Hotflush Recordings and 6 more.Recently at Paragon, Earthly Delights, Elsewhere · often with Physical Therapy, Cosmo, Swami Sound, none of them here that night

Her sets are fluid explorations—anything can happen—but they consistently strike a chord, touching the soft spots with a thoughtful blend of styles drawn from across the electronic music spectrum. Recently, her sound has leaned deeper into house, channeling its warmth and pulse while keeping her signature unpredictability intact. Whether weaving late-night rollers or sunlit floor-fillers, SAM delivers with intention, instinct, and impeccable flow.Recently at Pianos · often with fr. JPLA, RED, BLACK, none of them here that night
