    their own biography

    the whole biography
    DJ, producer, music supervisor, chef, and TV host – Matt FX is the definitive multihyphenate. Referred to as a “musical polymath” by Forbes and a “NYC nightlife institution” by VICE, he first shot to fame as the mind behind the soundtrack of the hit Comedy Central TV show BROAD CITY, as well as for his appearances on VICE News Tonight and the Food Network. No lightweight in the kitchen either, Matt co-founded "underground fried chicken sandwich racket" DUBPLATE NYC, dubbed the 'best fried chicken sandwich of all time' by Busboy.co As a DJ, Matt approaches each and every set with an irreverence that the New York Times calls “interesting social commentary on multiple levels” and has shared lineups with artists as varied as Soul Clap and Disclosure to Snoop Dogg and Demi Lovato. His latest projects include releases with Kitsune Musique, Wolf + Lamb, and Sorry Records, with plenty more slated for release over the next year.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Dance floor beware! boyyyish is Viet-Mexican club kid who has been in the NYC scene for over a decade. When he’s behind the decks, expect his magnetic groove to transcend genre and time as he takes you anywhere from house, acid, rave, soulful house, latin and beyond while rooted in timeless feeling and flow. His renowned weekly radio show “breakfast with boyyyish” delves into deep cut 80s and 90s electronic music, exploring the origins of a variety of dance music genres across the world. With more than seven seasons on the air it has become a cult favorite amongst DJs. He’s been featured on The Lot Radio, HÖR, BCCO, Apple Music Razor N Tape and Rinse FM. His signature 90s house sound with a modern touch is no less a love letter to the NYC nightlife created by his two mentors Christina Visca [Sound Factory/Paradise Garage/Studio 54] and Susanne Bartsch [Copacabana/Le Bain] for whom he has been a resident DJ and collaborator since 2020. He has supported the likes of Danny Krivit, Inner City, Kevin Saunderson, Todd Edwards, Jellybean Benitez for Glitterbox, Eli Escobar, Rich Medina, Dimitri from Paris, Tedd Patterson, Maurice Fulton, The Egyptian Lover, Hex Hector, Rimarkable, Ewan McVicar, Posthuman for I Love Acid, Tiga, JD Samson, Jubilee, Lauren Flax, Dana Montana, Mestiza, Eliza Rose, SG Lewis to name a few… You can find him regularly at home base clubs Le Bain and House of Yes and as resident DJ for Susanne Bartsch. But no club in NYC is foreign to him from Good Room, Nowadays, The Stranger, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Elsewhere, X-Pizza, Wiggle Room, Lucid Radio, Knockdown Center, Webster Hall, Sony Hall, Paragon, Gitano Island and Public Hotel. As a nightlife scion, he’s also soundtracked many a NYFW event for labels such as Theory, Helmut Lang, Prabal Gurung, Kiehl’s and editorials such as Paper Magazine and Ladygunn. Outside of NYC, his talent has brought him to Berlin, Milan, Tulum, Pavilion Festival in Scotland, Mexico City, Calgary, Bonnaroo Music Festival, South by Southwest, Aspen Gay Ski Week, DC, Pittsburgh, Provincetown Carnival and Fire Island. This tornado of influence is always surprising crowds in his breakneck yet seamless sets and your head will be spinning like a turntable should you lend an open ear before he’s off to the next stage.
